Oscar: Here are my top 10 things you must know about my cousin Anastasia:
1) She is starting to smell like a human! Well, sort of. Her outer coat has this human sell, while her inner fur still smells like a cat. I guess this is better than nothing.
2) She isn�t as dumb as she seems. Yes, she is slow, but not as dumb as I have thought. She has managed to take over mommie from me, and chase me while she is bored.
3) She only use the litters box either at night or when she is getting a time out (mommie put her in the cage for some time with the sheet draped over it). Don�t ask me why, maybe she has this little deal about going potty in the dark.
4) She is very athletic even though she is FAT! She can jump on the table pretty well, and then chase after me.
5) She isn�t blind or deaf like I thought. She sees and hears me. Which still makes me wonder then how come she can�t understand it when mommie give her time-out?
6) She does play with my toys, at least once a day everyday.
7) She doesn�t respond when mommie call her name. We are not sure why, as noted above she isn�t deaf or blind, so we are not sure why she doesn�t react to her name.
8) For the first few days Anastasia was here, she won�t get into my tunnel. But now as she learned I like to hide in my tunnel, Anastasia has decided to wait by my tunnel or inside the tunnel for me. Of course it is shocking to me when I go in and I see her in there. So now I am more cautious, I look inside to make sure she isn�t there before I go in.
9) Anastasia likes Trader Joes canned food. She will eat that on her own. She eats it like a pig too.
10) Anastasia has a fetish toward paper bags and boxes. She has gotten in trouble at least once every day for messing around in a paper bag or an empty box.
Yes, I am commenting on Anastasia. It isn�t my fault that she can�t learn to read or type. So I have to sit here and talk about my smelly cousin.
Oscar: Geeze, my cousin Anastasia has just became a mommie hog. This means she is always on my mommie�s lap and sleep with my mommie every night too. This is so unfair, she has her own mommy, why is she claming mine? On the bright side, she got in trouble chasing me yesterday. So she got time out in the cage three times! The amount of time each day increases, so by the third time, she had 15 minutes of time out. This morning she chased me again, so she got time out as soon as mommie got up. She is such a brat for chasing me, playing with my toys, using my stuff, and now hogging mommie as well.
Oscar: My cousin is such a free loader! I was sleeping in the blankets on mommie�s bed. Cousin Anastasia tried to get into the blankets but couldn�t. So she saw my paw sticking out of the blankets and decided she will get me out of my blanket spot. Anastasia started pawing me until I finally woke up and got out underneath the blankets. As soon as I left my warm spot underneath the blankets, Anastasia stuck her smelly butt into my warmed spot! I couldn�t believe it! She couldn�t warm herself a spot and had to take mine!
Oscar: Mommie said she has noticed I have slept a lot more ever since cousin Anastasia is here. But if she is asleep, I am usually up. All I can say is I am trying to avoid her at all cost. She uses me as her entertainment!
Oscar: Mommie woke up this morning with Anastasia next to her arm and me by her feet. All was well until Anastasia saw me and decided to chase me when we all got up. I think cousin Anastasia got this whole business of not wanting to share and anger management problems.
Oscar: I would just like to put on the record mommie has broken 2 bowls this month, and this month isn�t over yet! This is what happened. Cousin Anastasia only eats from a certain type of bowls. They are the regular rice bowls you see in a Chinese restaurant. So to prepare for cousin Anastasia�s visit, mommie had gotten some bowls out. The first time she got the bowls out, she dropped one of them. Since we got tile flooring, the bowl immediately shattered. And then last night, mommie dropped another one! And mommie complained when I broke her mug. How unfair is this?
