big book

Immi is looking at photographical book about cats.

Browsing: cat
Immi and Oskar.

Oskar seems to love immi, which is quite surprising considering she can be unintentionally a bit rough with him. The otherday, she pulled him out of the bookshelf (second shelf) — by his tail! — where he was sleeping and he thudded onto the floor, but he didn’t get even slightest bit upset!
I am still in dis-belief by the startling and mysterious events of this evening. Sitting in the next room, I heard Kyoko parroting in varying tones of utter curiosity:
“What is that?!? What isssss that??? Toddd! What is thaaaat?”
As I rounded the corner to the kitchen, kyoko stood near the gate cautiously pointing and peering down at the cats lonesome water bowl…something very strange was floating in the kittie water. A brown anomaly. I slowly quickly connected the dots:
missing diaper
+
cat’s water bowl
+
snickers bar
=
???????
Time for a little word association to aid in the detection process -
When I say water bowl, you say…Toilet!!!
Conclusion –
Immi left a floater in the cats’ water bowl. Mystery solved, case closed.
Political Ramifications -
Geo-fecal submarine and international maritime lines have been crossed. A aquatic feline war has been declared. Mew battles have begun. Code brown weapons have been deployed in the immediate vicinity. The kitty water supply has been intentionally contaminated. New meaning has come to the phrase “don’t drink the water.”
And somehow I landed decontamination duty. This is definitely getting classified under “development” and “milestones!”
Little Immi insisted on putting on her pink sunglasses and boots before bedtime.

Nobody can be totally glam without a plastic banana!

“Mmmmmmmmmmm it’s so tasty”

Mr. Oskar looks a little grumpy because he didn’t get pink sunglasses! How sad
We are spending time at immi’s grandmom’s. Immi is having some apple sauce with the halloween gosties.
Immi and Mr. Darcy are doodling. They look like they are behaving, but just until now, they were jostling over a purple crayon. Even though immi is a person and Mr. Darcy is a cat, they play together really well (it probably helps that immi is a bit like a kitten and Mr. Darcy thinks that he is a person).
Immi is playing with her ponies of the Ponyville. Oskar is hanging out nearby and watching.
…because you know, they are best-friends.
Here is a video of our walk today. Immi is picking up acorns and branches. I’ve never seen her show interest in fallen branches before — I’m thinking that she is playing Harry Potter (we were watching the DVD last night).
Todd is in Detroit this week, so I’m trying to post often since I’m sure he misses us:)
Immi is gardening with her dad.
Feeding Mr. Oskar some fresh catnip. Miss Monroe wants some too, but Immi is busy with Oskar. (Immi seems to be developing ‘favorites’ these days: black plaid skirt, pink jelly shoes, MyLittlePony named CherryBlossom…).
Fell a sleep watching Dr. Seuss DVD.
Immi found a keyhole while walking around wearing Auntie Junko’s shoes (she is visiting this weekend!) and she is trying out her key.
…how immi and Oskar became best-friends lately (Oskar lets immi give him hugs very often, he gives her kitty kisses, and he hangs out near her a whole lot). Immi has been sharing her food with him!
I caught them in the act. Immi is giving Oskar pieces of her pancake. She is tearing them into small pieces so that it’s easier for him to eat it!
Immi put on a leopard handpuppet and showering Mr. Oskar with hugs and kisses with it!
Immi is taking a nap. And the kitties joined her too. (I’m about to study the booklet for Learner’s Permit, the very same one Allison got for me at DMV in Cville years ago!)
Immi is handing out catnip!

Immi has been singing to music a lot lately. It sounds distinctly different from her babbles (holds out a pitch in one place for various duration on time before moving to the next, usually in “ahh”s). It’s mostly quite off from the music that she is singing to, but it’s a nice try.
