I’ll admit that at times I’m not a perfect cat. Although I try hard to maintain my laid back attitude, I’m sometimes angry, demanding or jealous. Mom understands when I’m demanding. I want to have her hold me when I want to be held. In fact I rarely object when she picks me up. I don’t get jealous when she picks up Miko because that is usually to remove her from all of the places she shouldn’t be like the stove or counter when Mom is making coffee. 99% of my anger has been at Miko as well after she tries her ninja attacks when I’m taking a nap. She is a kitten and will grow out of those attacks. That will just leave me with my jealous bad trait to work on.

As most of you already know, my dad has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. That is a really long time. He was home for 3 days after the first week, but he was too sick to really notice me. I did get to give him a few kisses, but that seems like forever. Yesterday, on my normal posting day, Mom took Missy to the hospital to see Dad. She explained that dogs were allowed, but not cats. I don’t think that is fair, but I’m stuck with it. Missy didn’t want to share details about getting to see him. She just gave her silly smile and danced around rather than talking about it. She makes me both jealous and angry. There are reasons people say that dogs drool and cats rule! Mom, however, took pictures so I can share with you. Dad looks tired, but I am happy he got to pet her. Maybe if I work hard on being a dog-cat, Mom will be able to take me. Better yet, maybe he will be home soon.
