My Life as I see it....BY MADI


I, Madi, am an only cat...gasp...I know...nearly all the kitties I know
have at least one bro/sis. Quite frankly, it is all about ME and that is fine. All the cat food is for me, all the beds are for me, all the sun spots are for me and all the LOVING is for me; however,
this in lies the problem....There is one of me to put up with enjoy all the aggravation
loving from the two leggers I let live here live with. Evidently everything I do is
PRECIOUS and requires both of them to be present to watch and one of them has the flashy box permanently attached to her hip.
Take the other day...Dad was reading the paper, mom was MIA...whoopee nobody is looking
so I start to dig through my toy basket. I found this adorable little brown mouse that had been
missing for at least 100 years a few days. I start to toss it about, tote it to and fro, chase it across the floor. I'm having a grand old time when lo and behold Dad's head pops up out of the paper, he jumps up and bellows "Ceal (that is what he calls Mom) come see what Madi is doing.
Good grief I'm just being a cat. Of course, by the time Ceal arrives with the flashy box drawn from it's holster and aimed I refuse to look at her.
Why
BECAUSE I was having a Madi moment with my imaginary playmates, me, myself and I and the two leggers spoiled the moment.

They begged and pleaded for me to do it again...but I reminded them that I, Madi, am a cat
I DO NOT DO ANYTHING ON COMMAND. I gave Mom aka Ceal this very blank,
nonchalant stare, did not blink either one of my peepers until she left the room.
Soooooo friends and foes my life as an only cat is very demanding, very stressful, there are no private moments just for me.... BUTT when it is all said and done...
I have two very devoted two leggers at my beckon call 24/7/365,
MY LIFE, AS I SEE IT, IS CAT-tastic!!!

  2. Madsters, Honey, Love...you do have the good life...I envy you...I am constantly battling with Tiny for the best spots (that she finds), and I have to hog my face in the dish to get all the food and I have to sit on her sometimes if she is already on Mom's lap...you are sooo lucky you don't have to do all these things. And, your beans are there 24/7/365...I'm sure that mine aren't...I'll have to check those figures and see what is up. You go girl and suffer the good stuff for all us multiple-cat families and we will cross our fingers that your beans will stop torturing you with petty things just because you are their only play toy. Geez!! Tell em to get a life! Purrs, Lautrec

  4. Aw Madi, I know what you mean. Being an only cat has it highs and lows. We don't have to share the attention with any other cat and all the treats and toys are for us alone. But as you said, there is that downside ..... the flashy beast and no privacy. Oh well, we will have to make the best of it I suppose. MOL!

    Purrs,

  10. Haha, Madi! That same stuff happens around our house all the time and there are three of us for those humans to focus on!! One of us is always doing something that deserves flashy box attention. Madi, you are lucky, though, you don't hafta share your humans with another bro/sis. Like pets and scritches...you get them all. You don't hafta wait. You got it good!!

    pee ess. we laughed that your mom calls me and Wally the Odd Couple, because that's what our mom calls us too! Here's a post we did awhile back where we talk about being the odd couple.

  15. Hi Madi and Mom,
    Life is hard for an only cat Madi!! If you had a friend (another cat) you would not be the only only one for Mom to take pictures of!!!! Think about it Madi!!! Mom would be leaving you alone some times!!

  20. Hi Ceal,
    May I call you Ceal too?? I like the nick name!!
    I have always wanted to write too but spelling, and my weird personalities, get in the way, not to mention being dyslexic!! Not to mention being on dial up that doesn't help either!!
    Anyway thank you for your input and I'll try not to worry about being entertaining or funny . Just blog for myself and what I do know about!! Thank you dear friend. After Tom's surgery I will get one of thos calendars. Right now we don't spend a penny that we don't HAVE to. Every extra penny gos for his surgery. I wish he would hurry up and get it. He keeps trying to do another job for an extra $ in the surgery kitty!!!! It is an out of pocket surgery. We don't ever know exactly how much it will be only about that much!!
    XXOO, Happy & Fern

  23. Hi Madi! Oh, goodness, I missed you bunches! And so did Brudder Cap'n Ripley cuz mom hid the computer and the phone from him while we were gone. (He has a history of ordering what mom calls "unnecessary" catnip items off the internets while we're not around.) Anyways, you're a very clever girl to pretend that you weren't doing anything when mom ran in with her flashy beast. Heehee...isn't it fun to kinda mess with 'em sometimes?

    Cap'n Ripley says you may be a southern belle but "ye have the roguish spirit of a pirate, fer sure!" And then he went "yo ho" and "yar har" and stuff.

    PeeS. Oh, and Cap'n Ripley says that of course he knew abouts Talk Like a Pirate Day. He invented it, after all!
