We Are Bad And We Know It

Well for me, Jake, it has been a few hard days. Wednesday I escaped out the front door when Jason came over to do his wash and eat supper. I guess he did not come in fast enough, so I thought this was my perfect time. Away I went with dad in tow. Mom yelling “Jake want a dog treat” and Jason standing there. I went all the way down the block and while peeing on every tree. When I go to the corner, dad squatted down and asked if I wanted a dog treat, so I ran to him. He is lucky I like my treats, because I was getting ready to cross the street.

The neighbor dog and me are making mom mad, I keep barking at him through the fence. By the way, I found another hole and went to visit again. Dad is getting so mad at me. Mom said the yard is starting to look like crap, because there are blocks of wood and stakes everywhere, not to mention anything else they can find to block me. Mom was trying to work and I am making her life hell she says. She is just mad because she has move a little to catch me. I am really fast.

Well I am Pooh Bear and I like my dog treats. When mom says dog treat, I going running. We only get one in the morning, in the afternoon and one at bed. I bark at the fence too, but when mom says Pooh Bear you want a newspaper, I go running into the house. She isn’t going to spank me ever. I don’t think mom likes barking dogs.

Well I am Lexie, and I have been a good cat. Mom says I haven’t gotten outside to do naughty things. That is good she said. Well I am Jasmine and I am still a good cat. I am mom’s baby she says. I just cuddle and sleep. Well I am Bella and I am still the biggest and fattest cat in the house. I like to help mom scoop the litter box every night before bed. I get in there and make sure everything is gone and then I go to the bathroom.

Jake, Pooh Bear And The Cats


We are back and we are bad. Well at least that is what our mom says. She had a bad day yesterday. Jake here, I kept asking to go outside and all I did was sit on the deck and look out over the yard. I kept it up all morning and finally mom said, “No more, I am not getting any work done”. Well about fifteen minutes later, I asked to go out again and she said, “Go lay down and look out the window”. I really had to go so I went and pooped in the dining room. I guess I should only ask to go out when I have to go. She was so mad at me, she told me I was a naughty boy and ran up and gave her kisses so she would forgive me. I do that all the time when she calls me a naughty boy and then she loves me so much.

I am Bella the big cat. Jason came over tonight and I love him. He lets me jump into his lap and lay on my back while he rubs my tummy. He used to try to play with Jasmine, but after a couple pets, she would bite him. Lexie does not like him either. They do not like anybody. They only like mom and dad. I play with them, but they run away to fast, Jake stays and takes it for a few minutes. I beat him up again last night and he ran and hid behind mom again. What a baby he is, he thinks he is so tough. He can dish it out, but he cannot take it.

Pooh Bear here. I was feeling a bit sluggish today again. I think it is just the heat and because mom has the air-conditioning on all the time. I went and laid in the kitchen for a long time. I will probably feel better when the humidity goes down. My nose is so small I breathe funny when it is hot.

Lexie and Jasmine here. We just laid around upstairs were it is warm. We do not like that air-conditioning mom has going. Jasmine did manage to chase Jake a couple times, but he is to much of a chicken. I slept next to him last night, he likes me in bed, but he does not like Bella and Jasmine in bed by mom. Bella snuck in bed with mom and she whispered to Bella, so Jake did not know that Bella was there.

We’re Back From A One Day Hiatus

Well Pooh Bear here, I was sick on Monday. I didn’t want to go outside, I didn’t eat or drink water. I just laid around all day until bedtime, I started feeling better. Mom said time for bed and that means a treat, so I ran out of house, ran around the yard a little, and back in the house for my treat. I felt so much better mom said. Tuesday was a boring day, Jake and I ran and played in the house, and then we went outside and horsed around. I jumped on my mom and laid on her so she could not get any work done.

I am Jake, I played with Bella today and dragged him around the house. He kept batting me in the head so I had to protect myself. I found a new place to play in the yard and mom doesn’t like it. I play with something in the woodpile. Mom wants to know what is so important, but I am not telling.

Lexie, Bella and Jasmine here now. We just laid around a lot, but Jake and Bella played together. They play rough and then Jake wants play like that with me, Jasmine, so I spit at him and hit in the head with my paws. I don’t use my claws, but sometimes I would like to. Lexie here, I was chasing a bug around the living room and then it flew on the bay window. It was so funny, Pooh Bear was trying to climb the glass to get the bug that was moving higher and higher.

Mom caught it and threw it outside. She was laughing at Pooh. The neighbor’s cat walked by the window again and the two dogs went nuts, barking and growling. They don’t like that cat, it comes on our porch and climbs into the edge of the bay window and taunts us. I, Lexie spit and hiss and it does the same thing through the window and the dogs go nuts barking. Mom gets so mad when it does that.

Jake here again, that cat came in the backyard a couple weeks ago and attacked me. Mom was screaming, I was barking and Pooh just sat there and watched. It’s a mean cat.

Another Hot Dog Day Around Our House


Well as you might know, we had another hot day. This has to stop because we all just lay around doing nothing. Pooh Bear and me (Jake) slept the entire morning away. We did not even bark at the mailman. Mom thinks we might be sick since we have been so quite for a couple days now. She does not realize we are hot and just want to lay around in the air-conditioning just as she does. She did not even clean the house yesterday, she said the rest of the house was unbearable.

I am the biggest of them all, so I more problems with the heat. I am Bella and you can see from my picture, I am a big cat. I laid in the hot dining room again on the chair. Every now and then, I would pant. Mom thinks I look funny when I do it because I am the only cat that she ever had that pants like a dog. You know where I learned from then right, the dog. She has not figured that out yet.

I am Lexie, I had fun yesterday, mom forgot to check the basement door and I found the weed eater string. I had so much fun, but mom was not happy. I tangled it up, it tied in knots, and now I am the bad cat. She should yell at dad for forgetting to lock it and herself for not checking the lock. See they have lock doors around me, because I learned how to open doors. If I cannot stand on something to open the door, I jump up at the handle, wrap my paws around it, and turn. It works every time. I am the oldest and the smartest. Everyone is a comic in this nut house.

I am Jasmine the pretty one, I was a good girl all day. I slept upstairs and did not mind the heat. It was hot, but I have my own special place to keep cool. I sleep in my mom’s dresser drawer. I take everything out and throw it on the floor and then I crawl in and go to sleep. Nice and comfy and no one can find me.

This is Jake again for a quick update, I let that darn cat Lexie outside again. Bella and I were fighting by the patio door screen and all of a sudden the screen opened up. Lexie is out, Bella was out to, but she comes back real quick. I wonder what Lexie will bring mom home tomorrow. Mom is already yelling and complaining. Lexie is not suppose to get out.

Excitement Yesterday Around The House



Well I think mom was a little mad at me (Jake) last night right before bed. You know, mom put a throw rug under the water dish because Jasmine used to throw water all over the kitchen floor. Well I don’t know what got into to me, but about 10:00pm last night, I grabbed that rug and dragged it over to the doorway to the dining room. I was trying for the dining room but it wouldn’t go any farther, so I left it in the doorway. How was I to know that mom would go walking in there in the dark and trip over the bowl of water.

It was a mess. She screamed, fell down and there was water everywhere. We all ran to her to make sure she was all right, but she yelled at dad because she thought he did it. He didn’t and he told mom it must have been me. He saw me try it one other time and made me stop. Oh well, she is okay, but she sure was fuming laying there on the floor all wet.

Jake and I played before bed. We ran around chasing each other all over the house, mom was laughing then, we made her feel better. By the way I am Pooh Bear, mom was so mad at Jake we had to do something. Jasmine is getting her picture put on here today. She thinks she is special. I went to bed last night and there she was sitting on top of mom getting petted. She gets everything she wants.

I am Jasmine and I am special. Last night on the couch, mom was ignoring me and not petting me so I bite her in the arm. That got her attention very quick, she started petting me and then I was happy. It was to hot for much of anything yesterday, all us cats just lay around trying to stay cool.

Lexie and Bella here. We played with Jake last night and ganged up on him. He squeals like a pig when we both get him. Mom just laughs because he starts everything and when the tables are turned and he gets beat up, he runs to mom and hides by her. What a baby he is, he can dish it out, but he cannot take it. Tomorrow mom says we might let a little cat nip. It has been a long time since she gave us any of that stuff.

Yesterday Was Lazy Day For A While


Well, here we are back again today. Jake here, I seem to be the one with more to say today, since everyone else pretty much slept all day yesterday. I slept a little, then chewed on my bones and hung around outside for a while. Mom was looking at jobs, so she didn’t do much but sit around on that dump computer. Pooh and I did get our morning potato chip for a treat though. Mom forgot to buy dog bones again. It was another hot one. However, I tried to keep busy. I got scolded once by mom, I got sick of my bone and started chewing on the couch cover, right in front of her. Therefore, I went back to my bone. Mom is posting a picture of me and Pooh Bear today. Aren't we cute.

Bella here. I scared everyone in the house today. I knocked over the vacuum cleaner in the kitchen and it made a big bang. The dogs and mom came running, but all us cats scattered. She could not find any of us. She was looking everywhere, it was so funny, we were hiding. Someone punched out the corner of the kitchen screen again, mom thinks she knows who it is, it was Lexie. She was trying escape, but the window isn’t open far enough. At night, I went into the living room by my mom and Jake grabbed me and starting chewing on my ear again. I let him for a while and then let him have it.

Jasmine here. I slept all day, it was to hot to do anything else. Ever since mom put the water dish on a throw carpet, I cannot scoop the water out onto the floor. Mom would walk into the kitchen, it would be all wet, and the water was everywhere. I love playing in the water bowl. That way that dumb Jake will not have any to drink. That is all I have to say. I was pouting yesterday, no water to cool me off. I got fifteen minutes with my mom in bed before that stupid dog Jake came.

I am Lexie, yeah, I tried to escape out the kitchen window, but I couldn’t get out because mom won’t open the window any farther than my body size. She is not being nice. It has been one week since I escaped, I am due for at night out with the boys. I don’t like all these new neighbor cats coming around here, I have no claws and I am to old to be fighting. Mom says I could get seriously hurt. No me, I am superior and I chase them. I only got tackled once and screamed bloody murder and woke my mom. She came running down the stairs to the front door and found a big black cat beating me up. She was mad.

Pooh Bear here. Did you ever wish the other dog would leave? Well yesterday, dad came home and Jake wanted to hog him all to himself. I was so mad that I bit him hard. Dad didn’t yell, but my mom did, she told me to knock it off. Mom wanted Jake and I to go for a walk with her last night, she is on a diet again supposedly and every time she talks like that, we have to walk. I do not understand because we are not fat.
