\"\"<\/a>The human keeps mentioning something about a “vacation,” but to us cats, it’s just another day in paradise…. Actually, that’s not true at all. The above photo is nothing but a made up dream sequence, because there has NEVER been a day the human has left us outside unsupervised. She gets really uptight and edgy – even with the fenced in yard, we are watched like hawks by her and the male human when they let us outside on occasion. I suppose the fact that some of us can get a bit overly adventurous might have something to do with it. They always claim they wish we would just settle down and relax and then they would let us out more, but hey, we’re cats and that’s just not how our DNA rolls… Take a look at what really happens!<\/p>\n

Anyhow, we’re giving the human a break so she can enjoy a few days off with family who is visiting from out of town. Her two boys, Chris and Joe, will be staying with us, as well as the human male’s daughters, Crystal and Jackie. Nobody asked our opinion, that is for sure. You can be assured that several of us will be hiding under the bed and on top of high shelves for several hours until we are certain these creatures will not harm us. Eventually we will come out, but it\u00a0will involve the\u00a0desire for food, so don’t get all crazy when we come out, like we are happy to see you. Even if we purr, let you pet us, and snuggle on your laps,\u00a0we are just doing it to be “hospitable.” Until then,\u00a0 we will ignore you when you call us by name and if you leave clothes on the floor, or a suitcase opened, it will be fair game for perhaps an “accidental” hairball or two…<\/p>\n

And just because the human is on vacation, it does not mean she will let you off the hook with the Pettie voting reminders! But, the good news, the month is already half over, so she will stop mentioning this at the end of every post soon! So, deep breath, here we go again…”Please take a moment to vote for\u00a0Zee & Zoey\u00a0in the DogTime Pettie Awards – we are nominated for “Best Designed Blog” and “Best Blog Post” for our interview with Steve Dale on pedigree cat breeding.
