Cat sitting
I am watching Liam and Sid's house and their cat 'Buzz' while they are down in Miami for the Madonna concert.
I like helping friends out (always have) - this is nice for me in a couple of ways, I get a change of scenery and I get to use their pool and work out facility (I have membership at Bally's but hardly go - the idea of the outdoor pool appeals to me more than the work out room).
So I get here around 6-ish and I am greeted by Buzz - who is meowrowling - in this cross between Mr. Magoo and W.C. Fields - he sounds like he should have a cigar in his mouth - he seems very surly. He is a pure black cat - he's beautiful - but he does seem a bit out of sorts...
I put my stuff down and settle in for some kitty play time. Buzz lets me pet him but then begins to want to grab me and bite. Which is OK. I give him some fresh water and he follows me around the house with the W.C./Magoo imitation voice meowing - eventually he decides he's going to try to grab me every time I walk by reaching out and trying to pull me in to bite me...he's adorable...I meow back in my best Mae West meow...this upsets him even more.
I give up and decide to log on-line and find out *gasp* they don't have Yahoo IM on their computer (OMG!) - how am I going to chat with my 'friend' (yeah I got it bad so sue me) - so I call and leave a msg for them asking if I can download Yahoo Messenger - Shawn calls after just having landed to let me know it's cool. Goddess bless him. We chat for a bit and I say I fully expect an update as soon as he finds time...lucky him - I hear she puts on an amazing show...
So then after downloading IM, I decide to go down to the work out room. Unfortunately the treadmill seems to be broken. I get on the bike and pedal for about 20 minutes and then head back up - tomorrow the pool!
Meantime I am going to relax, peruse their movie collection (I think I Might watch TransAmerica, Crash, The Hours, and Saved *rolls eyes* no silly, not in one sitting).
But for now I am going to do some catching up on writing and hope that Buzz decides to become more affectionate.
