Chapter 9 Snow in Jerusalem

      What is this white stuff?  It started coming down from the sky a few days ago, and left this cold stuff on the ground.  I don't like water, but I did come out in the rain that came before.  We cats don't mind a little rain, but when it gets to be a flood, I find someplace to hide!

      Yesterday I came

out, and very surprisingly, I was  able to walk on top!  I'm very light so my feet don't sink in.  That's lucky because it is very deep.  All the vroomy things are marooned and can't move! I hope that this goes away soon, but the mice that do come out are very thin, but they are easy to catch! Not such good a meal though.  The trash is covered up and I don't smell anything tasty there. Here's a picture when it was coming down. It looks pretty, but after a while it gets very cold! The sun is starting to come out! Wow, I wonder how long it will take for all this stuff to go away?  And then will it warm up?  I don't know.

      I thought that Israel was supposed to be a warm country?  The sun shining all the time?  And what about Global Warming? This is cold, not warm, what are they talking about?  Maybe it is going to be an Ice Age?   Cold stuff is just not my cup of tea! Cats can't wear boots, I don't care if there is a famous story about Puss in Boots! They just don't make them small enough for a cat. And how would we put them on? Or take off? Ah well. I hope it ends soon! 

Chapter 8 A home visit

It is not what you might be thinking, I'm not a social worker, who is worse than a mother-in-law! I don't criticize people and take their kids away!  I once visited a house.  I was outside just having a great time roaming around the mother caught me and brought me into a building.  She put me in this moving room, with a shiny wall.  I didn't trust it so I didn't look into it.  There was another cat and it was scary the way the room was moving.  So as soon as the door opened, I got out of there!

There were a lot of new smells there, I can't describe it so well. Then she opened the door and I went in.  What a difference from the outside, no wind, no mouse smells.  She put a dish of milk for me, and even though I already had my breakfast, I drank it.  Fresh milk is much better than spilled milk from the trash, you know?

The little blond girl came over and I wouldn't let her go!   I think that she was too surprised to see me.  I woke her up, and she was still sleepyheaded.  I know exactly how that feels.  Most cold days I don't like to get up.  The little girl pushed me away, but  I had to get pet.  This is the best feeling in the world, if you don't  know about getting a pet behind the ears, you don't know nuthin.

 There are so many places to hide in the house.  Under the bookcase, under the couch. I know about those things because sometimes I curl up on them when I find them outside.  These are still new and not broken, that's the difference.

I just love getting pet.  Hey, don't stop! Hey, not there, Rwow, Whoops, Did I scratch you?  Oh well, Can we go back out now? 

Yes, let me out.  A house is nice, but I like my home outside better.  Oh, no, I don't like that moving room, I'll go down the stairs!  How many are there?  These are going on forever! Wow, it takes 5 minutes to find the door.  No, don't pick me up now! Grrr.  See, you didn't get a good picture this time.  

I'm outta here!  Next time some time later

Chapter 7 Chanuka in the Holy City of Jerusalem

This week, something interesting is going on in Jerusalem and I think also in the rest of the world, but I'm not sure, of course.  In the evenings everyone lights these lights and some are outside lit with oil.  Here is a picture of one of them.  Each day there is a new light.  I like to go close and look at them, but the glass boxes are too hot to touch  Yup, I found out the hard way.  But don't worry, I'm not hurt.

I won't try that again, nope, never again! 

So I'm told that this is called Chanuka.  (however you spell it!).   The thing is that my humans that I like to have pet me have not been coming out in the morning.  I'm not sure for how long, because for a few days, it was very cold in the morning, and I just couldn't get up and go over there to check.  But they have been coming out in the afternoon now.  Can't they make up their minds?   There is less vroomy things in the neighborhood now, and many more kids on bicycles and roller skates.  Most people don't like us cats, but some do.   So I have different families that I go to for different reasons. 

There is one family that I go to for food.  They gave me this stuff that has cheese and tomatoes, starts with a p sound. I don't know, it was ok. but not the best. I like milk and tuna the best.  I have a special place outside that I sleep, under a few different bushes. 

 I'm called Tab, you may think that is short for Tabby, but the boy named me Tab short for Tablet. Computer.  But because I'm a mix of brown and black, I can hide under a bush and most likely no one will see me.  This is great for catching mice and rats.  I like to chase them, and eat them! That's why you don't see many when I'm around. Of course, I don't mind the milk and tuna either.  I have a different name in Cat, but you humans can't pronounce it so I won't bother to tell you.  So there! 

This holiday, the kids are around all the time, so I stay clear except for the two families that I like.  I'll see you around. Sometime.  You might think that you have tamed me, but it is really the other way around!
