Sassy cats – Gracie’s adventure to Narnia

August 11, 2023 8:36 am

Gracie: This is my usual bird watching spot.

Gracie here. It was an awesome week! I had a great adventure. The peep calls us “indoor only” cats. We have no desire to go outside. We don’t try to sneak out when the door is open. We have a great gig and we know it. It’s scary out there but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to check it out once in a while.

The peep was doing “stuff” on the deck. She was going in and out and left the sliding door open. Then she forgot it was open and did something else. I thought it was a sign from above that it’s time for an adventure. It may be a portal to heaven or…maybe….Narnia.

I stepped out on the deck. It’s full of flowers. I checked and there was no catnip. What kind of garden is it without catnip? It smelled good out there, not like Gus’s poopy butt and peep farts. It smelled like bird sweat and squirrel poop. I could smell the bird nest underneath. All good. I walked around a while checking it out. Then I decided to call for my maid.

The extreme wealthy have bells to summon their help. I have a good set off lungs. I hollered loudly. The peep came running but couldn’t find me (she was looking in my favorite spots in the house). Then she noticed the open door. I was sitting in the middle of the deck yodeling. It was to let the cats next door know I was out.

As she came to the door, she called me back in. I said, “What? Are you freaking kidding me? When will I get out here again?” That did not make her happy.

I wasn’t running away, just smelling the sunshine. There was a hint of deer in the air. It was good. After a while I strolled back into the house and the peep shut the screen door. She said I had to do my smelling through the screen. Boogers. I needed a nice nap anyhow. Tomorrow is another day!

Wishing you all a great adventure this weekend!

  1. Miss Gracie! I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your storytelling and typing abilities. Miss Zoe’s spelling is atrocious and her computer skills are primarily limited to shrinking youtube to postage stamp size and re-orienting the window by 90 degrees. Neither is useful and if I let her teach you how to do things that I didn’t even know could be done (no less un-done) your Peep would chase us down with a stick.

    Narnia looks beautiful but please don’t scare your Peep like that again!

  2. Who wouldn’t like to visit that lovely oasis? Well, for a little time…catnip absence is so unnatural!
    Glad you got a tour, Gracie.

    1. It’s just wrong not to have a pot of catnip there. The peep says it would attract the neighbor’s cats and that wouldn’t make us happy.

  4. The portal to Narnia is really beautiful and I can understand why you’d like to spend more time there, Gracie. If you ask nicely next time maybe the Peeps can invite you again for a little visit. Seems like you caused a lot more ruckus than was absolutely necessary! 🤷‍♀️

  8. Can’t blame you for taking a bit of an exploratory peek in the great outdoors. That’s a nice deck and outside smells are always interesting. Still INSIDE is cooler, more comfy, and that’s where the food is!

    1. Aww Teddy, you get to go out often. We can’t do that here. The peep’s old cat Jake was indoor/outdoor and he would make her crazy. She always threatened to install a GPS tracker on him. Now I think they have them for cats. Back then they were too clunky especially for a cat that wasn’t used to a collar.
