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?

Gracee:  My turn!  Sophee:  MY turn!  Gracee & Sophee:  These dangly things are irresistible! Only problem? Gettin' Meowmuh to dangle/swish it around WHEN we want & as LONG as we want.
