Tuesdays with Tigris - Annoying
Dear reader,
As you may have gathered, I am a far more refined cat then Styx. I will let you know if and when you can love me for example.
Imagine my dismay when I decided to join the Man on the couch and he thought it would be so funny to make me cuddle a dog toy - a stupid dog toy.
Ok, I do look very cute, but I still maintain that a Gris, should not be made to cuddle a dog toy.

Mischief Monday - I Was Thwarted - by Styx
Hi pals, hi pals,
I tasted the freedom and had the cool grass on my feet and the sun at my back and I hate to admit it, but that sweet, sweet grass lead to my downfall.
The Lady stupidly used the front door when she was doing bird feeder stuff and I was able to make a break for it.
Lady was screaming and I scooted under the deck. Man came out and called me and I stuck my head out and then I ran in the grass. Lady went inside to get treats, while the Man was calling me to stop and wait. The bush was thick so I stayed on the grass. Then the sweet sweet grass was calling my name and I couldn't resist it any more. I stopped for a snack and my man was able to scoop me up.

My love of grass thwarted my freedom.
Lady and Man were glad I was safe and are now being extra, extra careful.
your pal, whose love of treats got the best of him, Styxy

Nature Friday - With Your Host Styx
Dear pals, dear pals,
I am so excited to get to write the blog again. I love writing to you all. It was really hot here last week. The temperatures were in the 30s/80-90s, which Lady says for some people isn't hot. We thought it was hot. With the humidex it was close to (40/100). We sat around and moved less.

Tuesdays with Tigris - I Can Hunt Too!
Dear reader,
Having taken the time to look at this blog, I can see readers may think that Styx is the only hunter in the house. I spend as much time as him watching my yard and hunting. I catch as many bugs. In fact, I would guess, I am probably actually a better hunter than he is. I guess in the fall or winter when the mice make it into this house, we will see I am in fact the best hunter.

Until then, you will need to take my word on it.

Mischief Monday - Unfair - by Styx
Hi pals, hi pals,
I have to tell you something that is very unfair in our house, so unfair, so unfair and it is making me sad. Sometimes to get treats, I have to do a puzzle. I started with some of the dog puzzles. I do not like the rocking ones and the moving ones. Then the Lady and Man got me a cat one. Level 2. I figured it out in only a few minutes. I am a very smart boy, so smart. I can do puzzles. I like treats. Treats in puzzles is nice.

Oh, back to unfair. Tigris will have nothing to do with puzzles. She will look at them and look at the people and walk away. She walks away from food. So instead of making her do a puzzle for treats, she just gets some. She doesn't have to do a puzzle.

It does not seem fair that this very smart Styxy has to work for the treats. I should just get treats for free too.
you pal, who is treated unfairly, Styxy
