It's all semantics, people. I think my crown needs shining after the past few weeks, because people sure think they can do what they want with me. By "people" I mean everyone who is not Marcymommy. So this wedding thing had its ups as well as downs, the downs I will explain next time. The ups is that Marcymommy knew family was coming in and that their arrival was a good time for me to make my debut (read, 'entertain the idea of not baring my teeth at everyone'). That meant that she thought I was mature enough to hang out in the house instead of in the foster room, even while she was gone for the day. For awhile she kept the house monsters separated from me--they were on the linoleum kitchen area while I surveyed the carpeted part of my kingdom. This suited me well, as the toys that were on my side were not able to be stolen and the monsters also could not confuse me for one of their toys during this time. I spent my days hopping on and off the cushy couch while laughing at the house monsters on the other side of the baby gate. At will I would get what Marcymommy calls the "puppy crazies" and race repeatedly up and down the hallway until I inevitably fell over my own feet and lay with my regal tongue curled all the way to my nose. It was most fun, even when LucyKitten would surprise me in one of my rounds by tackling me by the head and then leaping up to the bed where I couldn't reach her.
My world was all well and good which meant that Marcymommy would see fit to change it. I don't know what goes through her mind. She then thought the housemonsters were good enough to be placed in my presence during the entire day. I mean, really, where was I going to be able to do my beauty rest?? At any rate, she had the housemonsters practice while she went on short trips to the store, etc. One day she came home, announced that I had not been 'accidentally-on-purpose' eaten by them, and so we could all merge into one territory. The horror!! On the positive side, I do have physical access to the housemonsters so that they may get frequent experience bending to my will. So far I have successfully ordered them to eat the red pieces from my kibble.

Will wonders never cease!
I know my subjects have been patiently waiting for another post. Marcymommy seems to think planning a wedding supercedes my blog dictations, silly girl. She finally got some pictures up to prove I'm not a complete menace to society. We're going to forget about my attempt to take off the hand of the newest PetsMart employee as she tried to give me a biscuit.
On a more positive note, I mostly carry my tail curled over my back, the ultimate sign of my satisfaction. Or I'm rolled over with my paws in the air in a state of relaxation--don't even think it means submission in my case! I'm still working on taming the resident monsters, mostly by chasing them out the back door when they're already on their way. I really enjoy NatalieMonster and LucyKitten. They're usually nice to me but sometimes LucyKitten thinks my head is something she should grab hold of and try to detach from the rest of me. NatalieMonster thinks I feel more secure if she puts her big head on me. She doesn't read my cue of the muffled growl; maybe she thinks it's her own tummy telling her she's hungry?
I'm still working on getting along with the two-legged kind. Even Pauldaddy makes me wanna piddle on the floor sometimes. And everyone is so tall I still lower myself to the ground when I go to say hi. I tell myself not to, but my short little legs just give way.
A fun new element is that now I get to sleep outside my room. For awhile Marcymommy had left me out of my crate but in my room, but for the past couple of weeks I get to have the run of my castle. Of course, after a long day of peering under a closed door while everyone is away, I'm usually too tired to wander at night. Marcymommy lets me wind down on the bed and then eventually puts me on the floor. Her reasons are that she doesn't want to accidentally squash me and also doesn't want to worry about me jumping off the bed and breaking my already-short legs. It's not a problem except that B.K.Cat and PookieCat are under the bed and their glowing eyes freak me out. I mean, have they ever looked in a mirror?! Well, in spite of the time change, I'm growing weary and need to rest. More later!
