Lorelie likes to sit on the TV and watch the Weather Channel a lot. It started when we were going to go to Mexico and our grandma said that her old cat liked to sit on the television. Then, knowing Lor, she would always do something crazy like sit on top of the TV.
But we had to change the TV. The one in the living room went upstairs and Lorelie did not know. She thought it was the same TV but it wasn't. It has a round back, so she fell off of it and it was very very funny.
Now she cannot lay on the TV as she likes to.
The cats love to spend time in the kitchen, for example: Lor in a drawer.
Lor's new hobby is to lay on the ironing board.
Mika's new hobby is to lay in the cabinet where the broom is and go in cabinets maybe looking for mice.
Something has changed in the past two days. Kerstin and I are going to school, so the cats are really freaked out about that.
They are even looking for the suitcases, since we get up at 6 in the morning every day.
The cats might throw a party when we are gone, with all of the alley cats. Every single one. From every single alley in the city of Dubuque.
And Mika starves herself when we are gone. But the funniest part is that once she sees one of us walk in the door, she runs to the food bowl.
Our schools are Thomas Jefferson Middle School and John Marshall Elementary School.
Last night when I went to bed, my dad came running upstairs, saying "Mika caught a mouse!"
I thought that daddy was kidding, then I thought about it, and actually thought that it was true, because he told me all about it and I heard a big crash.
The crash was Mika capturing the mouse in the kitchen.
She chased it into the bathroom and it ran into a hole behind the sink, but Mika was waiting for it and caught it again and they severely injured it and brought it into the living room and started playing with it.
It died because she was playing with it so hard. My dad used a plastic bag and threw it outside.
I think if Mika can catch a bat -- she caught a flying bat earlier this summer -- she can catch anything.
Tonight me and daddy were playing Battleship and the top of the Battleship box was over to the side and Mika came over to the side and laid right in it.
We were laughing and laughing.
For some reason the cats just love to lay in boxes and brown paper bags. I think it is because they love to hide a lot and so I think that is why they do that.
I said "Mika wants to learn how to play Battleship."
But she really tried to go to sleep.
I think she did that because she wants to hang out with me because I have been away for three days.
Whenever we're gone she always wants to hang out with us when we get back. Earlier today when we came back she followed me everywhere. It made me think she loves me so much.
When we first got Mika she always followed me around. It was so cute. And she was very skinny. Now she is very fat. She is on a diet now. That means we are only feeding her a certain amount of food every day. We're getting her to exercise.
Sometimes we give her catnip. It makes her crazy! It makes her go nutso!
It is so funny. She all gets all wound up and runs all over the house. It is very, very funny.
Now, let's get back to the following me around part. Now, in the morning, she follows anyone who gets up first. And she always sleeps with us at night.
That's why I call her my baby.
One night, Mika (my cat) was sitting in Daddy's seat when we were getting ready to eat supper.
I laughed. It was funny because Mika had never done that before, well she had, but not during supper.
Mommy set Mika/Daddy's lasagna on the table and Mika showed a funny face: Is this for me?
We all laughed. Then Daddy said: "I'll just go eat in the dining room."
Kerstin and I both said: "No, no, no, no, no. We'll kick Mika off."
I think Mika sits there because she is part of the family, which she is. She's just not part of the family that sits at the table.
One day, it was Lorelie's crazy streak.
First, she tried to jump from the liquor cabinet to the highest place in the house.
But when she tried, she fell. Then she tried to get on the liquor cabinet, but she couldn't quite get on it.
Then, about an hour later, when I was at my friend's house, my dad told me that she tried to go backwards down from the staircase to the church pew under the stairs. But, she slid down the arm and fell and was seriously embarrassed. That is why I named this section "Lorelie be careful... and I mean it." She is a crazy cat.
Lorelie likes to sit on the TV and watch the Weather Channel a lot. It started when we were going to go to Mexico and our grandma said that her old cat liked to sit on the television. Then, knowing Lor, she would always do something crazy like sit on top of the TV.
