The Cheezits: Colby and Cheddar: smart cat

Monday, May 19, 2008

Oh noes! We is found out!

Mom found out about our secret stash, and now we is in trouble!

We are very smart, very sneaky cats. Of course you knows this. But Mom apparently didn't know just how smart we was!

See, we opened the cabinet door where the treats is kept, and we snuck out a whole bag of treats! And then we carried it back to our home.

(See, here's me, Colby, pointing to our two-story duplex kitty house.)

And then, we ate a hole in the treats bag! We nibbled and nibbled on the bottom until we could gets the treats out that way. We had a great thing going, until Mom caught on.

Our house is in where the laundry stuff is, and Mom was bending over, picking up some dirty laundry that had fallen on the floor, to wash it (which she hardly ever does, hee hee, just kidding, Mom! Uh oh...Mom is not in laughing mood).
Um..anyway, Mom looks in our house, and sees the incriminating half-nibbled bag of treats!

Mom says we are "Little Sneaks!" but she still loves us.

And now's the treats are gone from our house, and locked up in an Evil Ziplock Bag! Oh, the horror!

Who Are Dese Orangey Kittehs, Anyway?

Once, we were just two scared little kittens, clinging to our mother. We must have been very poor, because we weren't very clean or healthy and we had (this is so embarrassing) worms and stuff. We lived day-to-day, and we both remember being very hungry, all the time.

It seemed like we were barely old enough to walk when we were taken away from our mother and brought to a strange place, with lots of other cats (and big scary dogs!). We didn't know why, or what we had done. This place became known to us only as the Shelter.

So, there we were: at the Shelter, in a cage, cuddled together, keeping our spirits up and waiting for a chance to escape, not knowing what else to do, when a surprising new face came to see us.

She smiled at us, and looked us over without poking her fingers in our faces. She made sure our itchy ears were cleaned and those embarrassing worms were taken care of. And she didn't put us back into the cage.

Instead, she took us to a new, totally different place. A place where we have lots of food to eat and fresh water to drink. A place where there's always clean litter. Where there are toys to chase and soft places to sleep.

And we learned a new word.

That word is, "Home."

We are Colby and Cheddar. And this is our story.
