Wlell, it’s been two months now. Two adults (questionable) and one cat, inhabiting an 8 foot by 32 foot area. And we’re still alive. And speaking. Most of the time. Good thing, as we have four more months to go. Actually, T and I do well in small areas. Both raised in smaller homes – with lots of kids in them, and like things tidy and in their place.
Traveling with Miss Kitty has been an education I could have missed. I’ve learned alot about her this trip (her first with us, and I hope, last). She has developed some very strange characteristics. Or perhaps she always had them, and as she’s an indoor-outdoor cat at home, I just didn’t notice.
Miss Kitty doesn’t like it if the food in her food dish gets more than 1 inch below the top rim of the dish. She will come stand in front of us and meow, and then walk back and forth to her dish. As soon as we pour a little more food in it – she goes at it like she’s been starved for days! (Her dish ALWAYS has food in it – so I don’t know what’s up with that.)
Miss Kitty’s litter box is in the back of the motorhome. If it is dark outside and she needs to use the facilities, she comes to stand in front of us and meow, until I go turn the light on back there. She then immediately goes in and takes care of her business (no pun intended).
If I’m sitting on the couch and she wants to be petted, which she does A LOT, she looks up at me and meows until I lay her blanket out so she can jump up there.
Each of the ‘meows’ she uses, sound very different. And she uses the same sound for the same activity, every time. I think she REALLY CAN talk. And she must be really really smart…she’s got us pretty well trained in just two months.
We still love it here in Southern Arizona. I love every type cactus! We take day trips frequently, and see all the sights we are able. We also spend time just ‘messing around’. T has been going up to the wood shop here at the RV park and has cut new cedar side pieces for his 1978 Lil Red Express truck that he’s restoring. I haven’t been going up to crafts this year – really got into beading last year – but I’ve been messing around on the computer. I made our Christmas cards that we sent out this year. And I’ve been making these nifty little seed packets so that I can share seeds from my garden when I get home this spring.
I like the seed packet thing. What a neat way to share.
Miss Kitty is indeed smart to have you two trained so well so quickly. Love and miss you, mama.
Sounds as if you are really realaxing and enjoying. The seed boxes look very good and will be good presents. Have a good Christmas if you dont post before.
Those seed packets are too cute! Sounds like Miss Kitty is a direct descendant of my cat, Ophelia. That stupid thing has decided that she’s in charge of bathing the baby. We spend all weekend knocking her away from poor Brendolyn who she’s licking half to death. She doesn’t meow when she wants something, she sits and stares at us, occasionaly patting our closest body part with one paw. Sounds like you’re having a great trip!
