Sandy: The Saga Continues .. ..

Where Is That Voice Coming From???

Today, after Mistress got sick of studying about bugs (her Clinical Parasitiology study unit) and she got sick of voting in the World's Coolest Dog and Cat Show (I'm entered in several catergories, you know! and we have voted in all but two categories) I was pestering her to read me some diaries.
She said "Oh no, not tonight Sandy. I'm sick of staring at a computer screen." Yeah, right, then she goes and stares at a TV screen? NOT FAIR!
So I kept pestering her. We were reading Calvin's diary, but that is a very long diary and a whole lot to take in, he is, after all, very deep! So I clicked on my twin Chai Latte-Capone's page and Mistress still would not cooperate. She said something about paying bills and making dinner.
BUT!
She got an idea!
She has this program on the computer that makes everything bigger to help her read what's on the screen, and it also has a Screen Reader tool that reads whatever is on the screen! So she fiddled with it and a nice lady voice came up and started to read Chai's diary to me!
It kinda sounded like a robot, Mistress could make it read as fast or as slow as she wants, and it read everything, including the time and the date, and instead of reading PM, as in the time of day, it said "Page, M" *shrugs* Oh well, I'm not too picky. Although when it came to words like "Concatulations" "Furriends" "Pawsome" and "Catpagne" it kinda screwed up and it was kinda hard to understand.
It did stop suddenly a few times, especially when the Norton Antivirus thing started to do it's weekly scan.
But, like I said, I'm not picky!
Maybe when Mistress leaves on Wednesday to finish the beaded Pilgrim, she can leave it on Calvin's diary! By the time she got home, it will probably be only halfway through!

Radar Love

Mistress was worried about me on Friday night. She kept calling my name when she got into bed, but I didn't come. If I could, I would've told her to SHUT UP! cuz I wanted some time to myself.
But Mistress got worried, and when she's worried, she's annoying! Okay, so she's annoying when she's cutesy too, but when she kept calling my name, that got VERY annoying!
Then she went out and started looking for me. .. in the dark! When she found me, she wanted to pick me up and I did the funniest thing!
I acted like I didn't know her and that I was afraid of her! MOL!
She didn't think it was funny though.
Finally she grabbed me, after about a half hour of calling my name and pretending that she didn't want me to come to bed, she got the treats out and finally, after about ten minutes, coaxed me out from behind the couch.
I guess I can resist Mistress, but I can't resist Greenies, especially TUNA Greenies!
She grasped me and took me back to bed with her. .. Greenies and all.
I was NOT happy, but I stayed for awhile. Then I left. She was still awake but she left me alone.
FINALLY!! Geesh, what does a cat have to do to get some private time around here?
But of course, she was worried about me. . .awwww!
She even read about Feline Dementia and started thinking I might be showing the early signs of it!
Mistress. .. I AM NOT DEMENTED!!!
She kinda bugged me a little on Saturday, but she left me alone most of the day cuz she went to her grandma's house and had her aunt's cat Bella sit on her for hours. . .Bella even kneaded her tummy!!!
Hey Bella. .. That's MY turf!!! Even when I don't want it!
She wanted to snuggle when she got home. I gave her a few headbonks and spent most of the few minutes cheekrubbing her watch.
That satisfied her.
She kinda left me alone on Sunday, but I came out and saw her, but kept my distance.
Yesterday and today I made her feel better though. Last night I kneaded her. . TWICE! If a human could purr, she would've been purring! Today while she was studying I came and assumed the same position I always do when she's studying: on the arm of the couch, right behind her.
What Mistress didn't know, but finally figured out (hey, she's only human) is that I was mad. . Reeeeeeeeaaallllly mad for what she did on Friday, then add a tidbit for letting that Bella cat sit and knead on her, so I had to make her suffer. .. 3 days was juuuuust right!
See, her job coach lady Melanie came over on Friday, but instead of letting me run for the bedroom when the buzzer rang, she picked me up and held me until Melanie knocked. I greeted Melanie with an angry "Meow!" and Melanie said "Aw, she doesn't like me." and Mistress, MY Mistress said "Oh don't feel bad, Sandy doesn't like anybody except me."
Don't flatter yourself, Mistress!
Finally she let me go, but I was so scared that I stayed out in the living room for a while and I guess I got up my nerve. . I'm a wimp, okay?. .. to go into the kitchen and have a mouthful of kibble before I ran into the bedroom.
After that woman left, I just snubbed Mistress, and then after smelling Bella on her. .. well! She didn't need my kneading paws!
Then today I was reading my twin Chai Latte-Capone's diary and Scooter commented how Siamese cats are very in-tune with their people, which is definitely the truth. So I thought maybe my radar was off and I wasn't in tune with Mistress this weekend and that's why I didn't come when called, because I usually do come when called. Also I acted scared of Mistress, so maybe my radar was experiencing some frequeancy?
Nah, that's what she thinks, but I know it was cuz I was MAD!
No Feline Dementia for me! Even though Mistress says that if I keep headbonking everything, I could bonk my brains out!
MOL!! Sometimes she is funny!
Mistress and I are back to normal though. I knead, she human-purrs, I sit on the arm of the couch while she studies. .. life is good again, as long as that Melanie stays out of our apartment!

Waiting for Nummeez!

I've been staring at my Mistress for the last 45 minutes.
Okay so Mistress isn't that exciting, but the reason I'm staring her down is cuz I'M HUNGRY!!!
She looked down at me and said "I know you're hungry. .. ten minutes, okay?"
NO! That's NOT okay!
I tried to take my mind off of food though, so I counted the minutes off on my paws. .. one yummy nummy, two yummy nummy, three yummy nummy. ..
I'd gotten to 1500 yummy nummy when she finally decided to get up off her desk chair. .. MY fave nap spot!
TA DA!!!!
But of course, I know the drill, first her meds, water, then my nummies. She had to make me suffer!
Then she wanted to make me meow for my nummies! NO WAY!
I just wanted them two ways, right in front of me and NOW!
After a few minutes she got sick of waiting for me to meow so she freed my nummies and put them down and left the kitchen.
*rubs tummy* Mmmmmm. .. happy tummy!
Now, I wonder where I can leave her a present. .. you know, remnants of my much awaited meal!
