Trouble with the hoomin

Marina - 19 Nov 2004 14:14 GMT
Frank here. I would like to ask my fellow felines for advice. The last
week or so, my hoomin has been acting strangely. She always spent too
much time at the computer and too little time serving me, but this is
getting ridiculous. She sits there, staring inanely for hours, emitting
a deep growl or a high moan now and then. I am really getting worried
about her.

The computer keeps saying pop pop pop pop pop. Do you think it is
broken? I sincerely hope she can fix it in that case, or I won't be able
to communicate with my lovely catlady Waffles.

What is nearly as bad is that she ignores me when I (very politely, I
might add) tell her it is time to serve my dinner. Can you believe this?
It is soooo hard to find good help these days. The hoomin tells me that
it is Bev's fault, and that I should tell Bev to serve me dinner. So
Bev, if you are out there, I would like to have a tin of tuna, two large
beefsteaks, and some ice cream, please. Nikki will let you know what she
will have later.

My human has the same problem. She also blames Bev.

Fez and Rufous here, on behalf of the Fantastic Seven. It's the same
thing at our house. The good thing is that one of our daddies is not
obsessed with the popping noises and we get him to feed us. Most of the
time.

My dad's OK about that, since his computer doesn't pop either. I still
prefer to have Mom pay attention to me when she's home and Dad isn't,
though.

Felix, thinking we need to figure out a training program for these
humans

We only have the one hoomin, and when she's out of commission, there is
no back-up. This will have to end.

Frank, maybe you can try what I do.  When Mommy gets that way, I come
over and meatloaf on the floor right underneath her right elbow.  If
she stretches to skritch my head, it is just out of reach.  When she
goes back to the funny popping, I meow at her. She says something
about why can't I sit in the chair, why must I insist on sitting on
the floor. I keep meowing until she leans all the way over and
skritches my head.  Then I hear some funny noises, and Mommy says some
bad words.  But she does get up and look in my bowl to make sure I am
not starving.  Which I am, of course.  I can see empty space at the
bottom, that's how I know.  
Love,
Stinky

*Hissspit*! The hoomin has gone la-la over a silly game! She has too much time
on her hands which should be spent pandering to your every whim, my sweet.

Teleport over here immediately my love! I have my hoomin better trained.

Thank you my dear, I'm coming right over. Do you mind if I bring Nikki
too? Maybe she can keep that pesky Marble out of the way for us.

I think Nikki and Marble may well be excellently suited to each other.

Come to me my sweet, let me envelope you in my fur and feed you the mice I
caught this morning!

Same here, though late at night. I want my hoomin in bed so I can lay on her
and all I get is Pop pop pop at the computer. I finally laid my head on her
hand, but it did not stop her. Rooowr.

You mean Mom is supposed to have BOTH hands available for scritching?  I was
just learning to lay on the desk by her and instead of using both hands on
the clicky thing, I get scritched with her left hand while she is shaking
that lumpy thing with her right hand.  I thought the pop pop pop was good!

Shmogg:

My hoomin is no better. First, I have to put up with being catnapped and
moved into a strange place. Then I get a new Paw. Then I get catnapped again
and have to put up with two more cats who claim that it was *their* place
and I wasn't welcome. Then I get catnapped again, and again! Then the smelly
drooling thing turns up and is too stoopid to realise she should just go
away. Then the squeaking smelly drooling thing along (making meowmie sick
int he process) and I have to suffer the indiginity of it sucking my tail.
*MY TAIL*!!!!!. And if that wasn't enough for me to have to put up with, now
my breakfast and dinner are late because both Meowmie and the new Paw (who I
like more than the old Paw, but don't tell) are making ht eputer go
pop-pop-pop. They even *fight* over who can make it go pop-pop-pop. They
*also* blame Bev!

Who is this Bev? I think we should get back ont he Good Ship Mouser and go
find Bev so we can pee in the sink with Bonnie. Go Bonnie!!!!

You have a new Paw?? What happened to Joel?

Who are these smelly, squeaking drooling things that make meowmie sick?

As I've said before, this whole Bubbel thing was originally instigated *by*
Bonnie and Clyde. They clearly got it from the Mothership. It's a feline
plot. They get to pee in the sink and get into all sorts of other trouble,
while Bev is glued, slack-jawed, to the popping machine. :)

There was another Paw before the hoomin called "Joel", but he was mean to me
and not much icer to meowmie, so we don't talk about him much.

The first smelly drooling thing is the stoopid one, and Meowmie and Paw call
her "Fluffy". The second smelly drooling thing that made Meowmie sick seems
to be like a kitten, but bare. Its probably a hoomin kitten - I stay away
from it so can't tell for sure.

Ah, that explains much, but the Mothership could at least schedule in
breakfast and dinner breaks!

Ah... this is a *long* history. Well, I know your life is much better
with the "new" Paw, even if he helped to create the second smelly
drooling thing. :)

This sounds like a good idea, especially since it is getting very cold
up here and there is icky white stuff on the ground. How about it
Waffles, up for a romantic cruise in summery NZ?

I can just see the communal pee parties in Bev's sink.  ;)

Sounds good. Indeed, the tiny hoomin that is the fat one's grandniece came to
my house yesterday. Did the fat one mention to anyone here that she's a great
aunt?? Anyhow, the the small hoomin has dual NZ?Uk nationality, what with her
Mum being a Brit & her Dad a Kiwi, so  the cruise would be a good idea, as we
can check out the place in case the fat one ever goes to visit her favourite
small hoomin if she moves to NZ from UK.

Purrs, Waffles
