Kitty visions

Mectin sleeps a lot. She sleeps a whole lot. I'm jealous. Is it wrong of me to sometimes wake her from her slumber to tell her I'm jealous? Is it wrong to wake her like she wakes me at 5 in the morning, as I paw at her face and make rude meow noises in her ear? No. .... okay, maybe a little. But as I sit procrastinating from my work, and looking at my sleeping Mectin, I wonder if she is procrastinating also. One could view her countless hours of sleep as procrastinating from doing the work that is laid out for a kitty. Work that involves saving the world, saving the whales and fighting for kitty-equality. Or maybe she is just in the visioning process. Maybe she spends hours of her day envisioning a world in which whales and cats dance equally in a field of dreams. So, I'm not too sure what I'm trying to say here. Maybe this is a desperate attempt at tricking myself into believe that at this moment, although I'm not doing the work I should be doing, I'm starting a dialogue about the justice of whales and cats. This is deep, my friends. (not really.)
So as Mectin lays sleeping, I still question her intention. I wonder if she thinks of anything other than licking her tail. (probably not.)
But maybe it's just a communication problem. Maybe she wakes me up at 5 am and desperately tries to tell me the secret of life, the key to ending the issues that face our society, what happens after we die. If Mectin could speak, would she say all of this? Is she trying to tell me that I'm wasting my time by trying to finish all of my work, and I really should just be taking a nap? Yeah, I think that's it.
Thank you Mectin, thank you for this moment of clarity amongst a lifetime of uncertainty.

Oh Mectin, where has the time gone?

So it's been a while... hasn't it, internet? I don't really know what happened, where time went, where this blog went.....I don't know, and neither does Mectin. Mectin does on the other hand know a whole bunch of stuff! Like.............
Anyways, I think that Mectin is finally becoming a cat-woman. Mainly this means she has stopped being and innocent kittay, and has become a bit of a bitch lately. I can't blame this all on Mectin though, I do play a part in this. Last week I held onto her foot for a while, she used to let me do anything to her without the slightest protest, but on that particular day in August I held onto her foot and would not let go. She made a series of annoyed faces/noises, and then opened her mouth and put her teeth on my hand. This was shocking! It was shocking, and it was heartbreaking. Although Mectin had no intentions of biting me, she was letting me know that she could. I think she's finally figured it out. She finally figured out that she has choices and a will of her own. Maybe that's where the time went... it has gone to Mectin and her new found kittyindependence. And that is hard for a Jocelyn to accept.
Mectin asks for this independence a lot. Sometimes she leaves me notes in my lunch with pictures of her packing up all her belongings into her kittynapsack and hitting the road! Sometimes I find brochures from exotic locations in her litter box. I even stumbled upon her online dating profile on match.com. hmmm......
Well, Mectin is on a journey to becoming a full grown womancat. It may be hard for me to let go of her innocence and underdeveloped mind. But I see good things in our future, in our journey of Mectin & Me!

Ode to Mectin

I just don't know if there's anything more to say about Mectin. I fear that this blog might be dying. Maybe it needs to die to get popular and become the newest internet sensation. Maybe.
But before it dies, I did tell Gordon that I'd write about how much I love Mectin. Oh Mectin, oh how I love you.

Ode To Mectin
You, my sweet kittay
You light my life
You give me kitty kisses.
Your paws awaken my soul
and your whiskers, my heart.
You, my fluffy minikitty
You are my love
My sweet Kittyana
My dream.

Mectin is my friend. But I'm just not quite sure if I'm her friend.

Mectin has been very nice to me for the past few days, very loving and sweet. We spoon every night. It's our little ritual. But the truth is, I think I love Mectin way more than she loves me. Sometimes I am deceived by her longingful eyes, her passionate head bumps, her melodic purrs, but Mectin does not truly love me. I believe she only loves the idea of me, she loves me as a figure. She could give a shit less who I am, or who I am not. I am completely replaceable. But maybe that's okay. She has a right not to be attached, she's only a kitty.

Kittyagitation! (aka whys mectin always gotta throw up? part 2)

Mectin and I are in a fight. I think she's trying to make up with me now, but I'm still angry.
She kept me up ALL NIGHT. All freaking night. She wanted to go in and out and in and out over and over again and if I didn't get up to let her out she'd yell at me, and then start and my feet and run up my body till she sat on my shoulder or chest, and then proceeded to yell in my face until I let her out. Eventually I just got up and turned the little kitchen light out and left the door open so she could go in and out as she pleases, but I guess once I did that she decided she had no interest in anything except for throwing up on my tax return.
Maybe she's trying to tell me something, maybe she's just soo radical. First she pukes on my health insurance bill, then she pukes on my tax information? Hm...
ANYWAY! Every time she puked, which was about two to three times, I lovingly, despite my anger, got up and turned the light on for her, got her water and cleaned up her kittypuke. Never once did she say thank you. Instead, she found more and more ways to annoy me.
So today I am a very frustrated lady. It didn't help that when I went to feed her this morning, she decided the best way to encourage me to get the food bag down from the cabinet is to YELL at me while doing so. What was she thinking? That I was going to stop midway and say, "ehhh you know what? neeever mind." JEEZ!
And on another note, something else that frustrates me....I have the Martha Stewart show on in the background, it's her valentines day show I guess, but she made the whole audience wear red. I mean... really? How did she coordinate that? Did she not allow in people who weren't wearing red? Did she provide the shirts? I don't know, that annoys me.
OH hey Mectin, having fun walking all over my body while I'm trying to type? How about pushing your wet nose into my hands. Cute. Reeeeeeal cute.
Mectin better have some flowers or chocolate waiting for me.

Mectin is looking quite orange today.

Mectin is a very mobile cat. Although she does not have thumbs, she overcomes adversity in many different ways. She is also a quick thinker. Unfortunately... she is not overwhelmingly bright.
Mectin can get into my room by pushing her face against my door. Before my lovely door does not latch, she doesn't have a problem getting in. (Unless the heat turns on then for some reason there's a current and she cant push the door open..) But she does have a problem getting out of the room. Recently, I do believe that she has learned from watching me that I push the doorknob down and open the door, so she's started standing on my bed and trying to open the door. Like, I said earlier, she is not the brightest kitty and she does not have great balance or coordination, so when she tried to stand and push the handle down, she fell off the bed. So there's me, at 3 am, laughing at my cat who just fell straight off the bed onto her face.
But I have to give her credit, she did show mental growth by trying to open the door. If only she could actually succeed.. then I wouldn't have to get up every 4 seconds to let her out. In time Mectin, in time.
