“Pssssssssssst, Isis. Look, the door’s open just a crack!”
“Don’t even think about it, Ollie. He’ll get upset.”
“Naw, it’ll be okay. Just a romp about the yard. I’m sure he won’t mind.”
“Well, okay. But just a bit. Uh, how do we open the door wider?”
“Use your head, silly!”
(nods)
(Isis uses her head to get the door open more and they both squeeze thru.)
“That isn’t what I meant, but it will do!”
“Picky, picky.”
“Look at him. He’s over there on that wooden table with the smaller computer thing. I’m gonna have a look around.”
“Ollie, you said just a romp around the yard! Hey, where do you think you’re going?!”
“I’d be crazy to pass this up. See ya later.”
“Ollie, come back here this minute!!” OLLIE!”

To be continued…..

The Bumps

Ollie: The Spud says he’s found a small lump on my chin and is making a sound that sounds like Vet.
I am not looking forward to this.
Maybe by purring in his face and rubbing up against his legs, he’ll forget about it.

“We would like to post this song in honor of our good friend, Sockington.”
Isis: “Hopefully Pennycat will get one, too.”
Ollie: “Oh, shutup about that!”
Isis coughs up a hairball showing Ollie what she thinks of him at this moment.

Isis: “I see that our 2 Legger is in his office again at his computer doing what work he usually does. I’ll just come on in and see about getting some attention.
(Peeks over leg) ‘Purrrrrrr?’

Interview with Ollie and Isis: Part 2

paws4caws — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:24:47 +0000

The cats, Tonisha and Adrian take a short break for some water and tea, respectively and then return to the Interview.

Tonisha: What is your life long goal?
Tonisha: What do you like to do to tease your humans?
Tonisha: Where do you like to sleep most?
Ollie: Hold up a minute! I’ll answer your last question first.
Tonisha: Okay.
Ollie: Where do I like to sleep most? In Scott’s bed, of course. It affords the most room and comfort.
Tonisha: I agree.
Isis: I like to sleep on the floor in front of the entry foyer on the carpet.
Tonisha: What is your favorite thing to chase?
Isis: Me? Well, there is this strange red point of light that really gets me going. It seems to have a mind of its own.
Tonisha: Oh yes! I know that has entertained cats for many a time.
Isis: Where it comes from I have no idea.
Tonisha: Do you have any favorite insects?
Isis: It goes under the crack in the door and floor and I have to try and reach in there and grab it to pull it back out again.
Adrian Sloane: Ollie: Crickets are interesting to watch…..and play with….but….
Isis: Well, they get worn out too easily and get all still and stop moving!
Adrian Sloane: That’s because they’re dead!
Ollie and Isis stop and look at Adrian in shock!
Tonisha laughs.
Ollie looks back at isis and shrugs.
Isis laughs.
Ollie sits back and looks at Terry expectantly.
Tonisha: *has to stop giggling*
Tonisha: *ahem*
Tonisha: What is your favorite TV show?
Ollie: Oh….uh…..what is a TV?
Tonisha: It’s a box with pictures on it and if you have a favorite song or movie, I would love to know, such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or any Cat Stevens or Garfield might be a hero
Ollie: Oh! Sounds come out of it?
Tonisha: And images
Ollie: Oh yes, well, I’ve not heard of this Cat Stevens fellow, but he must be rather honorable if he is in the main stream of things.
Isis: Is he an Alpha Male?
Oh! Garfield is our viersion of Dick Tracy. ‘Oh, I can hardly wait to see what happens to Garfield!’”
Tonisha: Is there anything you like most to chew on?
Ollie (slightly embarrassed) My…..uh….toenails.
Tonisha giggles.
Tonisha: At least its not Isis’s ears.
Isis: Oh, contraire!
Tonisha smiles.
Ollie: (sigh) Well, here we go again. I was trying to remove the flea from the inside of your ear!
Isis (annoyed and haughty): A likely story.
Tonisha giggles.
(Ollie looks out the window and sees to his delight that some birds have arrived.)
Ollie: Well, thank you. This has been a lovely interview.
Tonisha: It has!
Isis: Enjoyable, but much too short.
Tonisha: You were both great.
Tonisha scritches both cats behind their ears.
(Both cats purr in unison)
(The cats say their goodbyes and depart from the area.)
Adrian Sloane: Thank you, Ollie and Isis. Well done.
