meow meow

Unfortunately, you cannot see her intensely blue eyes.  This little piece of kitty play furniture was the best investment!
This is actually how she sleeps at night...if I let her.

Saturday I loaded up a few things and headed home to visit my folks.  I took meow meow with me.  Its the first time I've spent the night at my folks since I moved a few weeks ago.  I think they had as much fun with her as I did!  She's so curious about everything.  We discovered a flea on her during our visit.  Quite disheartening considering I've bathed, medicated, and greased her down thoroughly...well, I thought I'd been thorough enough.  She got another bath tonight and now she's just plain tuckered out.  Seriously!  She's been asleep on the bed since 7:00.  I'm sure she'll be ready to play again once I crawl into bed.  

fight! fight! fight!

So I find myself seriously longing for the peace and solitude of the farm.  My bedroom here is quite bright at night.  I often hear my neighbors banging around in their houses, talking as they pass my doorway, practicing the fight song on their tuba, etc...  I did finally meet one of my neighbors.  She's a girl about my age (perhaps a bit younger) and her name is that of one of my favorite songs, so I'm sure to remember it.  Maybe we could be friends and drink hot cider together one evening.  

What I need is a good run on some hay bales.  That would soothe the soul and release some natural endorphins for sure.  And a kitten...I need a nice barn kitten for my apartment.  That would feel more like home.  One that you can't take the farm out of...not that I'd want to.  I guess I'll have to be prepared for sudden, unexpected, late night attacks.

So I'm just experimenting a bit.  You know, getting my feet wet before jumping in.
