so sometimes when they are down in the basement, and they're working with saws and drills, and won't let me in, I like to run around on the linoleum and make galloping sounds over their heads. I sometimes let out a yelp or meow, just for the hell of it.
I don't usually meow. more like little kitty grunts. I don't think the boys have figured out what i'm meowing about. I try to only meow when i'm in another room, alone, and i know they can hear me. Muller will run into the room and ask, "What's wrong, buddy?", and i'll just sit there and stare at him.
I think he's totally confused by it.
I've got this little knot of fur right underneath my right armpit. I hope i get it brushed out tonight. It's hard to clean yourself when you have a knot of fur in the way, it gets stuck on your tongue, and then you have to nibble at it...... anyway, I'm thinking of going on a diet after my 1st birthday. Any recommendations? I was thinking of cutting down to two meals a day.
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, or George or Bill Bailey -
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demter -
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover -
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
- T. S. Eliot

As for your diet, my cat's doctor suggested that I give him Nutra Brand 'Weight Management' food. Let me tell you he's looking healthy as ever, his coat looks good, and his litter tray smells a lot less. The food is a well balanced diet good for hairball control and given you are a long haired cat that might cone in handy. Tell Muller he can find it at most good quality pet stores.
