Monkey, the Guest Blogger

Wassup? I offered to do this update since my Sister is being a moody mean cat.

I'm Monkey and I'm writing the update because Sister isn't here. We knew yesterday that Mom was coming home last night, we heard the big man talking about it. And, whenever Mom is coming home, the big man works hard cleaning up the house. When she's not here, we sorta hang in the bachelor pad and don't get all worked up about keeping it spotless, know what I mean? Well, he started all that cleaning yesterday so we knew she'd be home soon.

There's a cat down the street, his name is Jesse. He belongs to the people who send their boy kid down here to cut the grass. Jesse would follow the boy kid down here. I never liked him, he's a punk. We've tangled, I've sent him home many times with his tail tucked between his legs. Well, Sister thinks he's all hot and is always showing off when he gets close. Of course that doesn't happen often, because I keep him run off from down here.

I kept telling Sister to stay away from his his scrawny tail but she doesn't listen. She's been hanging with him. Mom told her to stay away from him. The last time Sister got caught with him, he chased her up Miss Beulah's tree and wouldn't let her down. Mom made the big man get a ladder and climb up there. I kept telling him I wouldn't have done that. She got up there, she could get herself down by herself.

Anyway, Sister hadn't seen Jesse since so yesterday she decided to go down to his house before Mom got home and she ain't come back. Now I've been down there looking for her but I haven't seen hide nor hair of either one. I don't know what's going with her.

But I know Mom is worried. It was dark when she got home from the mountains last night. She was tired and not in a good mood. Seems when she got to her car in the airport parking lot she had a flat tire. I told her about that leaky tire but did she listen? Anyway, she was tired and hungry but she went out looking for Sister. She was calling her and stuff. I was trying to get some attention for myself, but she'd just pat me on the head and keep calling Sister.

She finally gave up and went in. I sat in her lap the rest of the short evening. This morning she's been out calling Sister. No answer. I went back down to Jesse's this morning too but still no sign. I've tried to get Mom's mind off Sister. I've been following her around, attacking her big red house shoes. I've jumped up her back to attack her hair but nothing's working.

Anyway, when Sister gets home, I'm whooping her butt. And if that Jesse comes around again? I'm taking off some body parts, if you know what I mean.
