Dad is still off climbing his first mountain. I'm not sure what a mountain really is, but here we are just before he left on Wednesday. Is climbing a mountain like climbing a tree? If Dad can't get down, will they call the fire department to rescue him? So confusing. Notice how I have my legs braced to jump in case Dad tries to take me with him in that big backpack thingy.
Here's why I would never go mountain climbing. Look at the food. Disgusting energy bars, tortillas and peanut butter, dried fruit, and trail mix. No way!
Later, I went out and did some deep thinking. People think cats just sleep, but that's not true. We ponder philosophical questions about life and the universe. Or we plot ways to get even with transgressors. As I was lying there I suddenly remembered that Mom and Dad had tuna breath on July 4th.
Argh!! It wasn't just any old tuna--it was Ahi tuna! They ate Ahi tuna while I was taking a nap and didn't leave me any! Those bastards. I will plot my revenge.
It's Weekend Cat Blogging, which was created by Clare and Kiri. Clare hasn't been feeling very good, but I'm sure Kiri is tending to her. Go over to Eatstuff and say hello! I'm sure that Clare always shares her tuna with Kiri!
I love that darned cat.

That is too funny! You broke me up with that tuna breath comment. Nothing gets past these furballs!

Upsie, you could climb any mountain you wanted- thank goodness that you have the good sense not to! ;)
However, great pic of Dad, and much luck to him!

Hmmm, I've never really thought about mountain climbing like this. Thanks for opening my eyes to the consequences. I won't be mountain climbing either. So there!
Please be kind on your revenge... :)

Upsie, my daughter just walked by as I was reading your deep thoughts and she looked and said "Awwwwwww". She thinks you're cute!
P.S. I'd be a little upset about the tuna too! ;o)

Hi Upsie! I wonder what you have in store for yr Mum and Dad.

Upsie- you're way too smart a girl to go hiking. Stay on level land so you can hunt down the ahi wherever it may lie!

Glenna,
Upsie says that you should bake her a tuna flavored cake!
Aria,
How did you know that Upsie's full name is Upsie Daisy? :):) You're psychic!
Lisa,
Upsie says she should at least get some nice Italian tuna--to celebrate the World Cup.
s'Kat,
The mountain thing is a bit much. Bob came back fine--and then he slept for nearly 18 hours straight. I kept checking to make sure he was alive.
Mae,
Upsie has still not exacted her revenge. i think she is waiting until our quard is down--then she will strike!
tbirdonawire,
But, she never shares her dry cat food with us!!!!!
Boo,
We wonder too! Will it be something simple like a hair ball on our bed--or something much more devious?
Kristi,
So true! There's nothing good to eat on a mountain!

You know I had to run before I could comment on this the other day but seriously it has had me laughing for a couple of days.

Upsie also deserves a piece of Ahi Tuna fish ;-)))!...
She is really a cute cat; I love her ways a lot!
