Do you ever dream about KITTIE?
Here is my kittie dream I had last night:
I had a dream last night that we got a 5th Kittie. In the dream, my
dad got him because his owner had died in a fire and he had been burned
in the fire and his owner had left $1400 in the bank for his care (all
the owner had) but the humane society in Owen Sound said that would
only cover his vet care, not his support afterwards, so they were going
to put him to sleep and take the money (!) (Strange things happen in
dreams--I can't imagine them doing that IRL!) So my dad said no,
adopted him, used the money to get the vet to fix his burns, and we got
him. and Dylan didn't like his name, but it's kind of like Smokey,
Smokey had to stay Smokey, this dude had to stay "Lucky."

PS Dylan hated Smokey's name. He wanted to rename him because first
it's a very common name and second, Dylan had a cat named Smokey when
he was a kid and it was sort of confusing to hear about another Smokey,
particularly since I believe Dylan's Smokey met an untimely death
thanks to a car.
But at that point, when we got Smokey-poke, everyone at the base had
been calling him Smokey for 3+ months. He answered to it, everyone
else called him Smokey, I called him Smokey, and....we finally had to
face it....there really wasn't a better name for a Smokey Poke. So, he
stayed Smokey (and pokey).

It may be going around like a virus. I dreamed about cats and dogs and
kittens last night. I remember being terrible upset because I didn't know
our could remember their names. I was still bothered about it for a while
after I woke up. Making sure I remembered everyone's names, all the pets I
had even as a kid and my friends and my brothers pets, etc.

I had a dream once that I turned my kitty (Leia, the white one) over to
a testing place for testing. The tests were going to be painful and I
felt bad, but she Had To Go. I have no idea why I'd do this.
So...I woke up very agitated, and she was sleeping next to me quite
peacefully, and I grabbed her and hugged her and said,' Oh Leia, I'd
NEVER do that to you!'.
Meanwhile, this peacefully sleeping kitty had been assaulted and woken
up for no good reason and wasn't happy about it at all. Poor confused
baby. She squirmed out of my arms and walked away, looking over her
shoulder at the crazy human.
I only had Leia for 9 months, but she made quite an impression on me.

Is this a dream or a premonition?

It BETTER be a dream because 5 kittie in a 2 bedroom apartment is,
well, it's a lot of kittie. Especially when you have a small kitchen

And I bet Smokey and Tyche gallop to their dishes. I don't somehow see
Nox indulging in such uncouth behaviour!
We've got two in a 1 bed flat and it is a small flat. Our kitchen is
long and narrow, which usually leads to the traditional dawn chorus of:
"I can't get to your dish any faster the pair of two! Move it! If you
want fed I can't go round you to fill the dish. Sarsi! Are you trying
to break my neck! On second thoughts don't answer that!"

Wow. You got it in one.
Smokey screams about the impending threat of gravy famine the whole
way. Tyche just runs behind him and lets him do all the vocalizing.
Nox follows behind to supervise, in case I'm too stupid to figure out
how to open the can. She will only eat soft food if it's placed at the
opposite end of the kitchen from Tweedledumber and
Tweedlehe'satotalmoron. Meanwhile ,our Tweedledumb, Kumani, waits in
the bedroom because she knows that once the can is open, she will be
getting crunchies in the bedroom which she can eat in privacy alone.
Kumani hates what is in a can--soft food is served by that perverted
vet, after all.

Sarsi has been known to pull bags of IAMS out of cupboards, retrieve
new feeding dishes from bags and as a kitten she used to help herself
to dry food. She plainly is worried we might forget how to pour her
favourite kibble into a bowl- she has proof of this- we keep forgetting
that she prefers kibble to wet and trying to make her eat the wet
stuff...She makes a big thing of sulking until our backs are turned
whereupon the level of this wet stuff drops alarmingly...

LOL!!!
All this in a small kitchen!
