A Snowman? In California?  Gotta' investigate this! We, as dedicated members of the "Sniff Patrol," actively investigate any anomaly or mysterious thing that enters our house. We certainly don't need investigation training cause sniffing is what we do! It's a skill we're born with, a real talent &, we'll thoroughly investigate this one, furr shure!

It's raining, it's pouring & Inkee-Bear is snoring. I'm not asleep, not me. Besides, it never rains anymore. So this is exciting! I don't want to miss a drop. Let the others sleep all they want. This is my time, my 'me-time' if you know what I mean. My siblings are sooo quiet. That is sooo what I want. Besides, I have Meowmuh all to myself.

Am I actin' & lookin' sweet & innocent enough? Meowmuh still hasn't noticed the crooked picture. You know, we have dozens of earthquakes in Los Angeles. None recently? None today? Well, she won't know. She's busy & tired. I'm just gonna' kick-it up here. I'm on the top step of the cat tree now. My ears almost brush the ceiling. Well, not really. I'm not a liar.

Gotta' admit. I'm gettin' just a wee bit nervous. There must be a way out of this. Maybe if I jump up there -- you know, on the valance for the vertical blinds. I haven't been up there before. Would it hold me?  Hmm.

OK. I went one step higher. I'll get it, don't get your whiskers frazzled. I can do this. I'm balanced, I'm reaching, reaching---oh, oh.  I can't quite get it. Oh, no. The stupid picture moved! Now it's all crooked!  Meowmuh won't notice. She's busy & tired.  Besides, I know what to do. Done it before, can do it again. I'll act nonchalant. I'll be my usual sweet & innocent self.

Do you see what I see from our new cat tree? Look at the corner of that picture. It's Meowmuh's new cat necklace! How can I get it? Maybe if I go up one more step. It would be so fun to bat around. The other cats would love it too. They're always saying:  "Sophee, you find such fun things." It's easy-peasy--just check the counters!

I've got this pum-kin goin' now, fur shure. While I'm playin' -- Meowmuh wants to warn all you 2- & 4-legged critters out there -- watch us so we don't eat somethin' that'll make us sick cause, I don't know about you, but I don't want to be rushed to any 4-legged critters' emergency hospital. So, be sure & READ the "Safety Tips for Thanks-What?" Article.

Do you get toys for Thanksgiving? I did. Meowmuh says it's a pum-kin or somethin' like that. You know us cats. We have to FULLY inspect everything! And I mean everything. So, I'm movin' this little pum-kin, I'm scratchin' it, I'm groomin' it. Wait.  I've got a little groom-chore to do myself.

Hey Mr.Turkey, what are you doin' in our cat tree?  The turkey before you just left. He was little. But you & I -- we're about the same size & we're both very colorful. I've gotta' ask. Can you run fast? Really fast? You sorta' look like a bird -- kind of a weird looking bird. Are you too big to fly into a tree? On top of a roof? To go away? Like disappear?

Gracee:  Do you see a turkey?  Sophee:  No. Gracee:  Do you hear a turkey?  Sophee:  No but what does a turkey sound like?
