Junko, calico kitten

When I am here alone, I like to hide things they will want later. MOL

Winnie

I have been known to put coasters in the water bowl.

Junko

MOL

I do that with my toy mice.

Winnie

Junko has put Garfield in the water bowl before.

My hooman told me she doesn't have to leave to chase green papers tomorrow and next Friday. That confused me. My hoomans have talked about Crisp Mouse coming soon.

Junko

My meowmy gets to chase green papers from home, but she is not doing that for two weeks. All I know is that means our breakfast is late, and I am not amused.

Winnie

Jack fussed at me when he knew morning feedings were late. He saw me as him mom.

Food should never be late. And the kibble dish should always be full. I don't what is with the Staff some time. Bud

Winnie has a built-in clock. 6:15 every day. Get up! Feed the kitty!

Bud's good about not digging me out of bed. Once I'm up though, he's a trip hazard.

Once in a while, Junko will jump into bed to let me know she wants me out of bed for the day. She even purrs loud when she does it.

Mouski likes being lazy with me. He stays sleeping until he hears me rattling around. Winnie might eventually learn to sleep in, but I'm not betting on it.

Bud is into being lazy to the point of shiftless. Food Lady

On the weekends, Junko wants me up on her terms. Silly girl.

Cats always want it on their terms.

Jack wanted food on his schedule. Calicos and tortoiseshells seem to want everything on their schedules.
Joys of having one of each at once.

I know what you mean. I remember my late Rachael.

Winnie is definitely a girl of schedule. If I'm not up to feed right on time, she is sure to lick my nose or pat my forehead. Right on time. Every day.

I'm lucky. Bud is patient until I get up then I can't get to the kitchen fast enough.

Tortie tends to sass me the second she knows I'm out of bed.

I'm lucky I guess. No sass, but Bud tries herding me to the balcony door.

Junko didn't want me go to work yesterday. She was very needy while I was trying to get ready. This morning, Junko wasn't as needy. My parents do take care of her and still love her. Since we no longer have Jack, she may be more emotionally needy and needs someone to spend the extra time with her everyday.

They mourn like we do.

Mouski and Winnie are pretty polite about rousting me out of bed. Once I'm up though, they bust into the bathroom to tell me I should feed kitties before the morning mom routine.

Yes, kitties definitely mourn. Mouski is much more needy now that Bingo is not here any more.

I do what I can to spend more time with Junko. Junko knows she is still loved. Jack gave Junko a lot of attention.
