I Miss the Cat!




Okay, okay, I know. At first I totally didn't want to babysit my friend's cat. But for 10 days I got to know this kitty, and now that his is gone, I feel there is an empty place in my heart . . . s i g h.


On the other hand, there is no more kitty litter all over the floor of my kitchen, and my toes are safe from night time commando attacks!


It's weird, it was really nice having Rocky around for 10 days. I think the funniest thing that happened while Rocky was staying at my place was when I was renovating the upstairs apartment in my house. I had just painted the floor leading up to the stairs of the upper apartment. Anyway, I was upstairs working on the bathroom when suddenly I heard this weird meowing. I looked down the stairs and there was Rocky standing in the middle of the fresh paint. Poor Rocky, I ran downstairs and picked him up. His two front paws were totally green on the bottom. I was really worried because I didn't want him to lick his paws and get sick from the green paint, so I carried him like a baby to the kitchen and tried to clean his paws. Unfortunately I couldn't get all the green paint off of his feet, so he had green paws for about 3 days . . . . poor Rocky.


Also, I totally spoiled this cat while he was living with me. For instance, if I was having a bagel with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon), Rocky would get some creamcheese and lox too. However, he didn't like bagels, so I ate his for him. Also, once I got sushi from T&T Supermarket, and I let Rocky pick off the raw fish from the tops of the nigiri sushi, and I would eat the rice. Hee hee. I don't think he is going to like the hard dry cat food he is going to get at him Mommy's house :-)


Oh well . . . no more cat for me. But it was fun while he was here!

Yeah, it's always hard to separate from someone you get used to. I think he's also gonna miss you and your gourmet food.

It looks like you both are very happy. Rocky is enjoying his life. If you meet some day he will recognize you for sure. Yulia.

It sounds great that you share your food with Rocky. And I was just thinking about keeping a rabbit, maybe I can give her the carrot in my meal.

I am woried about the painting! did you have to repaint the floor again? If you need help send me an email and I will help you repainting the floor!! I am just wondering, How come you were painting the floor? People usually have wood or carpet and you are painting the floor? And also, why did you choose the colour Green? I hope it is not a bright green.

Hey, Scott. I'm glad to see your students are busy blogging.Mine, too. Their blogs are all subsumed under mine (shannonspeaksout.blogspot.com)because they are lower level computer users. I invite you and your class to visit our blogs and leave some comments. Jennifer Jessop and I are considering doing a professional development seminar to introduce other teachers to blogging. We love it. BTW I think you should get a cat. You look cute with a cat.

I am sorry. The cat is very lovely. Cats often can be good friends for us, but when they are gone, we often feel lose important things in our life.

I had a cat when I was a little kid, but my mother gave the cat away after many troubles the cat did.
