I've Moved!

That's right! I'm moving up in the Web 2.0 world, and I'm taking my blog with me. This cat is going places. Stay up to date and visit my new blog here: http://www.rivercitystudio.com/blogs

For a moment, there was peace.

How’s a cat supposed to sleep with all this racquet?!?!

I had it so good for a month. The team was respectful; they walked at a normal pace, usually wore shoes with soft soles and kept their voices to easy tones.

…and then she was back. I think it’s Deb. She’s much more tan than I remember! Oh but I would know that walk anywhere. Click, click-click-click, click as she all but runs past with a flurry of papers and no understanding of an “indoor voice”.

While she was gone, I would hear her voice from that box with wires talking to the team, directing things. They would nod and then scatter, heading to their spaces, fingers flying across that silver thing with buttons. Then I would go back to sleep.

So she’s back. So I’m awake. So I’m tired. So I’m plotting my revenge.

I left her chair alone while she was away, no need to disturb things in her office in her absence. Now, I’ve taken to laying in her chair and shedding as much as possible. Those clothes of hers will never look the same, ha, ha! Sometimes I even roll in the nip before taking over her chair.

Next, I’ll find a way to put rubber casings on her heels. Then, maybe then, I’ll sleep.

Why am I inside!

The weather is changing and finally spring may be arriving. Gone are the cold, gray, bleak days of winter. Here are the days filled with bird songs, warm rays of light and the laughter of children enjoying the simple pleasures of a water sprinkler.

At least, that’s what I am told. I don’t know because they don’t let me leave the office.

What, are you afraid I will run away? Where could I possible go? I don’t know anyone outside of this building, and I can’t call any of you because you refuse to give me your cell phone numbers.

Still, it does look pretty crazy out there, and I am fond of tuna, of which there seems to be little outside my window. I guess I’ll stay inside for now, just don’t take it for granted.

It's a New Year!

Well, 2009 has arrived, and with it comes a new opportunity to make resolutions that I have no intention of keeping. With that in mind, I present my list of 2009 New Years Resolutions. Enjoy!

Find better places to take naps. Stop settling for just anywhere.
Be nice to Melia. Kill’em with kindness.
Stop throwing up when there are visitors. It doesn’t seem to impress anyone anymore.
Demand filtered water. Hey, why not.
Start saving for retirement. I’m not getting any younger.
Start earning money. I’ve got to start saving for retirement.
Ignore more people. I have been giving way too many people way too much attention.
Get into shape. Because fat cats get very little respect.

T'is the Season

Its here! Its here! Christmas is almost here! I can’t wait, I am so excited. I already received my gift; a new mouse-shaped chew toy! I played with it for 5 minutes and now it disinterests me completely.

In case you were wondering here are my holiday plans.

Christmas Eve
Noon: Everyone takes a half day and leaves the office. I act sad and pathetic to make them think I will miss them.
1pm to 6pm: Sleep
6pm to 11pm: Roam office and mess with stuff
11pm to 1am: Wait for Santa

Christmas Day
1am to 1:05am: Pounce on Santa and eat the cookies I left him
1:05am to 9am: Explore different places and positions to sleep in the office
9am to 9:05am: Give Melia her gift
9:05 to 9:06am: Get hit by Melia for no reason
9:06 to 9:07am: Regret getting Melia a gift
9:07 to 11am: Look out the window
11am to 2pm: Meow at different objects to see if they are alive
2pm to 4pm: Feel the Christmas spirit
4pm to 12am: Sleep

I know, it’s quite a couple days of activities. But it only happens once a year. I hope all of your holiday plans are fun, relaxing, exciting, or whatever you need them to be. Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas.

Oh, look! A new chew toy! Has this always been here?

I am Yoda, and I am thankful.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When I am not busy eating to the point of sleepiness, or looking for a place to sleep, I am sleeping. I enjoy it greatly, as I excel at it, and have been told it is when I am most cute.

That is why I was so excited to hear about the current state of the US and global economy. Poor economy means less business, and less business means less stomping around the office, less talking loudly on the phone, and less turning corners without looking where you are going and stepping on someone’s tail (you know who you are).

Unfortunately, such is not the case at River City.

For some inexplicable reason, River City continues to do business, continues to bring in new faces to the office, and continues to talk loudly on the phone even when you may be lying so peacefully next to them, purring gently, and not at all deserving of someone yelling excitedly in your ear about site designs and database programming.

So, to counter this attack of sleep canceling activities, I have started to hide myself away to the darkest corners of Nathan’s office. There I sleep in peace. My lullaby is the soft pecking of a keyboard. My blanket is the warm air blowing out of the computer. My pillow is what appears to be some important document.

I am Yoda, and I am hiding.
