My life with two cats, Chewie and Juniper.

 Meet the Stars of the Show! Chewie is from K-town, starting his life behind bars at the Kona Humane Society. He refuses to be a lap cat and only likes to be carried around over the shoulder or around the neck like a kitty scarf. We are here to solely serve him and him alone, or so he believes. People watching comfy much? Juniper, the blue-eyed cross-eyed siamese scaredy cat, is from Keaau on the Big Island. Life must of been rough out in the sticks, but she's finally figured out we aren't that bad. She's not much of a lap cat either but loves to get her belly rubbed. Can I help you? TV watching  There you have it! These two make up most of the action that happens around our house.

8:15am There's a visitor in the house and everyone knows whats going on except Juniper. She begins her morning stroll to the kitchen without a clue that someone new is in the living room. Our internet has been sporadic the last few days and a technician has just arrived to check it out. Juniper immediately freezes upon seeing the new face. Eyes wide, she stops mid-step and stares at Shiela from Spectrum. Juniper scrambles to turn the corner, then gallops away as fast as she can to safety downstairs. For such a small thing she has two lead feet and can be heard throughout the house every time she runs. 10 minutes pass and she pops her head around the corner to assess the scene. It seems safe enough so she continues to the living room, bopping and weaving her way like she's avoiding some invisible punches. Shiela has gone outside so Juniper thinks this is a good time to get up close to the area Shiela was last. Of course the front door opens and in ...

9:29am King Chew Chew, supreme ruler of the household, has begun to make his presence felt. No one is safe from his random acts of violence, especially Juniper. She normally has the zoomies in the morning and today she has a stalker watching her every move. As she rounds the corner past the dining table Chewie is waiting for her. She never sees him coming until its too late. BAM! He flattens her like a pancake with all 12 pounds of fluff'n stuff. He's smart enough to know the closer he is to her, the less likely she can see him. He's got about a minute of expendable energy then Juniper takes his legs out from under him and the score is settled. He disappears, probably to sit on his throne downstairs and Juniper gets comfy on her bed. All's well for now..

 6:42am I'm dead asleep. I feel someone moving the pillow next to me and as I slowly open my eyes I see Juniper attempting catch a daddy long legs spider thats walking right to my face. I bolt straight up. Quick side story: Shane, my boyfriend, literally told me the night before these seemly harmless spiders are poisonous and I already have crazy arachnophobia. Juniper give me a wtf look as I shoo the spider off the bed. She continues to watch it before completely losing sight of the spider even though its 6 inches to the right of her. She goes left and the spider gets to live another day.  Seems like a great start to sunday...
