'Twas a Week After Christmas ...

Rocky: 'Twas a week after Christmas and all through Artsy Catsy
finally the humans have stopped driving me batsy!!

It's been so long since I've been able to post, you may not even remember who I am! Well, I am the CEO, the BOSS, the BIG GUY, the ALPHA CAT ... who has been totally demoted to Mr. Omega Nobody by everything Christmas! But before I begin my Yuletide rant, let me wish all of my (remaining) friends a very belated ...

It all started out okay. My mom's daughter Tiffany got to come home from Italy to have Christmas with us, and I was glad to see her ...
... until she started practicing opera! She could only be with us for ten days, and she had to sing the lead role in Madame Butterfly just a few hours after she landed back in Rome on New Year's Day, so she practiced and practiced here and yikes! My EARS!!

But even so, I did get to use my executive skills to snoopervise Tiffany and cousin Jason in the decoration of our Christmas tree, which didn't get done until Christmas eve ...
Then the downturn started on Christmas morning when I was attacked by Santa Paws! ...
After that, I was subjected to throngs of human friends and family parading in and out to see Tiffany and totally disrupting my schedule. All they did was talk, talk, talk and flash the flashy thing and do WAY too much of this ...
But do you see me on MY table?? NO!! They wouldn't let me up there! When it isn't the pesky holidays, I get on that table whenever I want! How dare they!

And then to make matters worse, my mom and Tiffany packed their bags and LEFT me for several days while they went to Indianapolis to visit even more humans before Tiffany went back to Italy. How dare they!

My mom finally got home last night, and tried to squish me into forgiving her ...
But I told her my forgiveness comes at a price, and here it is: As soon as she unpacked her overnight bag, I showed her the new CEO rules for packing her bag the next time she tries to leave me! ...

What a distressingly busy holiday you had. But I am sure it was good to see family!

Happy New Year!!!

Jans Funny Farm said...

Now that's telling her! No trips without the CEO!

Hope you all had a nice holiday season.

Ohhh, I can hear the disgust in your voice at the neglect you suffered over Christmas, Rocky. But let me tell you, my humans took me with them on their Christmas trip and travel is not as much fun as you might think. OK, once I was there I had comfy sofas and Devon Grandma stuffing me with turkey and ham, but to get there means hours of boring driving in a car whilst imprisoned in a little box. Not so much fun!

I don't know Rocky, traveling can be hard!

But are you sure about wanting to travel? We like staying home with all our favourite toys and comfy napping places.

Oh Happy New Year, Artsy Catsy people & more importantly, kitties!

I was happy to see your post today because I had the worried about you a little bit (even tho I enjoyed watching the Mr. Milky video a few times!)

Welcome back Rocky, we missed you. You were funny travelling in that bag, but be careful, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Happy New Year to all of you.

Mr. Hendrix said...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all too!

I'm so bummed your poor ears were tortured and your routine messed up. It was nice Tiffany was able to come home.

I really hope your mommy does pack you next time! You were so well behaved in that bag. You'd be a good traveling companion.

That looks like a great way to travel to me!

Nomi said...

Wow, so many experiences ! And in the end, you even got to go in the travel bag. You don't take up too much room and there is plenty of room for mommys fings.

Happy New Year All. FAZ

Max said...

Doood! ANd I bet they didn't even take you on that trip after say Bon Voyage to you! Or did they take you to a "trip" to the next room? That's just not right. You should poop in that bag.

Angel, Kirby and Max said...

We are glad you are back. We checked in ever day or so looking for the best CEO we know! I don't know how fat Indianapolis is from you, but traveling gets old really quick! Happy New Year!

Boy n Beethoven said...

I tried that, Rocky, this time round when mine Mummy tried to leave me again, but she spotted me and took me and all the clothes I packed into her bag out! I hope you have better luck than me!

Wow! Sounds like a busy time was had in your household for the holidays! We are sorry you were so neglected....make your Meowm pay for it now.

We think that looks like a great way to travel!

Happy New Year to Rocky and all at Artsy Catsy (and to Mr Milky too)

Glad to see you back but so sorry you had to endure such terrible neglect during the holidays. Your new travelling bag looks quite comfy and warm, we hope your Mum stays put now for a while.

Happy New Yeer! And I think it's safe to say that opera and cats don't mix!

Cat with a Garden said...

Rocky, that is a pawsome travelling device you got there! We got stuffed into plastic carrier cells and then put in a bigger metal cage (which even MOVED) for Christmas. We love how your tail flicks!
Nice to meet the CEO, Siena & Chilli
