Really Monkey....Really...

I, George, am throwing out a question to you all...

ARE BEST FRIENDS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS ANNOYING?!

Don't get me wrong, having Monkey around has really helped my exercise plan and definitely made me a stronger man, but MY GOODNESS this cat never STOPS!

1. He keeps touching my back paws while I am relaxing. So when he walks around me, I hit him.
2. He keeps scratching on my scratchy box and post. So when he does, I hit him.
3. He keeps running around the apartment like a crazed maniac...and that dang bell on his collar is driving me batty! So to try to stop him, once I have just had it, I chase him down, and hit him.
4. He follows me every where!!  When mom goes potty in the morning, that is MY sacred time with her to trip her as she brushes her teeth. Well, he likes to come in now too...and I am NOT ok with that! So when he creeps the door open, I hit him.

....Now I am all worked up! I need to go lie down, and mom is taking a nappie, so I am gonna go cuddle with her.

***

Ok. A little better now.  Monkey tried to come in and jump in the bed with us. I hit him, and he walked out.  WILL HE EVER LEARN?!

Ugh, o well.  My Chelsea loves him, and mom seems to get along with him, so I figured, I will work on it too.  He is definitely not growing on me right now, and its more like he is getting under my skin, but hey, I am his big brother...and I guess that that is what little brothers are supposed to do...irritate the crap out of me.

OH, but I must say, Mom just LOVES seeing this side of me.  I get treats when I stand up for myself...and I was hoping to get double treats when I literally scared the poo out of Monkey...but alas, no treats.

Ok. I think I am gonna try to steal a bite of Monkey's food while he eats mine!

MONKEY IS MAKING PROGRESS!

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY WE ARE HAVING!!! My almost friend Monkey is making sooo much progress :) We will be snuggle buddies soon--i can just feel it!  

Last night I slept by Chelsea's door where Monkey is.  I want him to feel safe, and know that I am there for him.  I like to whisper things to him to let him know that I am there, and that the people here are so good. 

And when we got up this morning, mom and chelsea got out the treats!  I was a bit of a show-off when they opened the door so that Monkey could see how cool I was!  I showed him how we can sit for treats or lie down for treats...and how to work them for extra treats!  Monkey did a great job with his first lesson from me!  He was milking it for all it was worth!  He even ate out of Chelsea's hand. 

But of course, he is still a little nervous when I get too close.  But it was so fun!!!

And then, before mommy left for work, we had some more all roommate bonding time!  And boy is Monkey on his way to being a GQ model like me :)  We got close enough to take a picture of him too! 

And while mommy was at work, and Chelsea went in to visit him...HE LET HER RUB HIM!!!! AHHHHH!  I AM SO PROUD OF MY ALMOST FRIEND! 

And how about this.  Mommy calls herself the mean one when it comes to Monkey.  well guess what? NOT ANY MORE!  MOMMY AND MONKEY HAD A BONDING MOMENT WHEN SHE GOT HOME FROM WORK!!! As I laid outside the door making sure mom was ok, he jumped in her lap when she sat on the floor and then begged her to rub him.  I got sooo excited I let out a MEOW of praise!  I guess he heard this, and came over to the closed door and played paws with me under the door!!!

YAY ALMOST BEST FRIEND MAKING PROGRESS!

But I know that there is still a long way to go and we are gonna go day by day :)

My Almost Best Friend...

MY NEW FRIEND IS HERE!!

problem is, i haven't seen him yet, and i don't think that i will get to meet him for a few days...but I JUST LOVE HIM! 

My new friend came last night and has been in my Chelsea's room ever since.  He is super nervous!  Mommy said that he is pissed off and confused...Chelsea says he is a demon kitty...haha! but chelsea doesn't mean it!  they like to go in and check on him every so often, just to make sure he is eating and doing ok.  i like to lay by the door and send him good energies...and to let him know that my people are great! 

but i understand.  these are his first days in a new place with new people and a new friend (me)...he has all the right to be upset and super cautious.  at least he isn't screaming and clawing at me like little grouchy one!!! 

more updates to come as he days go by! lets pray that Monkey (oh yes, that is his name!!) starts to feel a little more comfortable because  just want to snuggle with him so bad!

Change is Coming in the Morning!

So my time as an only cat has come to a quick and super sudden end!  Tomorrow, my Chelsea is bringing home a new cat named Monkey!  I really hope he isn't scared of me like cousin Sebastian was...or pissed at my living existence like that grouchy little cat was...


Mom said she is a little jealous for me...and that I should feel open to being open with my feelings.  I have no idea what she means by that, and I wish should would just scratch me behind my ear.  But she also said that she is super excited that I get a "guy love" brother / friend to play with all the time now...and that makes me happy! 

I mean, I guess I am a little bored with mom at work all the time, and Chelsea doing all of her job hunting.  So it might be kinda fun to have another friend around to play string with or ball with or just snuggle and take a nap with!  I am just hoping that mommy won't be too jealous for me :) And being that she is a cat whisperer, her and monkey will get along just fine, and she can hopefully give him some good words about me for our official meeting (face to face) in a few days :) 

Ok adventure...HERE WE GO!!!
