Rascal Cat Brothers

By lisa jacovsky

Rascal Cat Brothers Part 1

Hi, my name is Midnight, and this is the story of how I went from a happy, only child, to somehow being given this guy, my baby brother named Snowball.

There I was incredibly happy that Mommy had come home finally so we can cuddle and then all of a sudden, I smell another cat noooooo!

I was not happy. I hissed to make it go away and ran away from it.

But then he hid under the bed. All night.

I decided I would go sit by the bed and look for him.

I may not have been happy yet, but I wanted to make him feel better.

Mommy calls the little brother snowball.

When Snowball came out from under the bed, I saw how small he was and figured maybe I can push him around, being the big brother now and all.

Wrestling with my new little brother was fun because I always won.

Little did I know I only won because he is so small.

Now Mommy laughs any time we wrestle because according to her, Snowball lets me win.

Nahhhhh, I pin Snowball down and look around like I am the king of this house, even if he is five pounds heavier than me now.

Mommy buys more toys and lots of new food for me and Snowball.

We even have two cat trees. And a new tent we can hide in. And a tunnel to run in.

Wow do I love all the new toys we get.

I found out this guy likes to cuddle too! We cuddle together on top of Mommy’s legs now all the time.

I think I may like this new little brother after all.

He is very silly and seems to find fun things to do I did not think of.

He actually climbed up Mommys’ clothes onto the high shelf in her closet.

I love to be up high too but wow that was super high.

We have the best Mommy; she did not even get mad. She actually smiled and laughed when she saw him.

Boy that Snowball gets into all kinds of shenanigans.

Mommy and I heard a sound in the bathroom.

Do you know Snowball was up on the second highest shelf?

He just looked out at me and Mommy like, “what I’m not doing anything”.

We both just laughed at him. There may never be a dull day with this one in the house

and I think that is simply fine.

I love being up high like Snowball, but I like being high in the cat tree more.

Snowball lets me always lounge around on the highest leg on both cat trees; I can be

pretty lazy.

Snowball can take all the fun high points in the house long as I can keep my hiding spots

like under the sink.

Sometimes when I am hiding, I will watch Mommy look all over for me calling my name.

Do I come out? Nope, I wait until she finds me; sometimes it takes a while.

I do not really understand why it takes so long since I was sitting the whole time.

She just shakes her head and laughs and gives me lots of pets.

I love to hide and watch mom.

We all know I love to be pet and cuddled, but that Snowball he likes his butt scratched!

Mommy calls it booty scratches.

Do you know his back legs and butt go up in the air like an elevator?

Mommy laughs and scratches his booty when he does this.

She calls him the big booty king and thinks it is really funny.

Me? I only like my booty rubbed when I am eating my food.

Mommy did that when I first came to live with her, and it felt really good.

It made me start to like her. I think it is when we first began to build a bond.

Me and our mommy we have a special bond.

I talk to my Mommy all the time and love to get my belly rubbed.

Snowball purrs a lot more than he talks but I think he has a special bond with our

Mommy too.

We say I love you to her by marking her with our scent.

I rub my face on Mommy’s face to show that I love her, and she is my mommy.

Snowball for some reason loves feet and rubs his face all over our mommy’s feet.

Mommy just laughs and I think she likes it when he does that.

Oh, yea Snowball loves shoes too. He will lay down on our mommy’s shoes and fall asleep.

I do not know why he likes shoes, sometimes they smell.

Yes, I think we both have an incredibly special bond with our mommy.

Now off to see what other shenanigans me and the little brother can get into.

Rascal Cat Brothers part 2

Hiya, my name is Snowball and I believe you met my brother Midnight already.

He told ya all about the supposed silly shenanigans we get into huh, well, I think they are just

fun things.

I cannot help Mommies feet smell good. So, I want to rub all over her shoes, sometimes I even

paw at her shoes, till she catches me and says ‘no no they are Mommies shoes, not the baby’s shoes’.

pshhhhh I am the baby I think everything should be mine.

Ya know what else is so fun trying to grab Mommies’ feet when she is by the bed.

See under the bed is my domain; I hide there and if the blanket is on the floor I can hide even more and whoosh! Out goes my paw to grab Mommies foot hahaha.

I think it is so funny and my big brother sits next to Mommy and watches too while Mommy laughs.

Speaking of my big brother Midnight, he is so fun to wrestle with.

He even loves to pretend to run from me, who would not want to play with me haha.

Mommy plays with me and Midnight all the time.

He likes to chase these shiny balls that make a sound when Mommy crushes them in her hand.

I like this red dot Mommy moves around and I try to catch it.

One day I will catch it and eat it I know it.

Mommy got us this toy that has balls to chase in it.

I got all those balls out pretty quick with my paw and thought I was pretty smart.

Mommy just laughed and gave me lots of pets; she says I am a purr machine when she pets me, whatever that is.

I just purr because it feels so good when she pets me.

Me and Midnight we both love to play in boxes and lucky for us Mommy always has a bunch. One day I watched Midnight be very silly. This big box was hard to get into but Midnight he

figured it out really quick. He got on top and wiggled and jiggled his booty and squeezed himself in that box.

Then all Mommy and me saw were his eyes. Imagine that, he got himself in there.

He was so silly! Mommy and I just laughed. I love watching the silly shenanigans my big brother Midnight gets into.

I cannot remember a time I was not with my Mommy and Midnight.

Now, when the day is over, I sleep at Mommies feet at night and Midnight sleeps in her arm.

I feel so lucky to have them to cuddle and sleep with after a long day of shenanigans.

Rascal Cat Brothers part 3

That little brother of mine whew he sure does like to play a lot

I run and hide sometimes in the kitchen

He wont get me there!

It's exhausting!

My names Dallas and I have more shenanigans to tell you about

Actually, lately, mommy has been home more

Oh she tries to work at the Table talking to her computer

But ya know what I do?

I walk right across her computer and rub my face on her

She laughs and tells me to say hi and then I hear more voices

Imagine that, other hoomans right there on the computer

Sometimes I turn and say hello to the tiny hoomans

Little brother likes the computer more than me though

he always turns and looks right at the tiny hoomans

I would rather sit on mommy's lap and purr away while she talks

She gives me lots of pets and cuddles while she talks

I really like her being home more; I get more cuddles and pets than ever before

Then little brother he has the nerve to copy me sheesh

He will go under mommy's chair and purr

Then she pets him too

Little brothers huh

He is very silly though, his booty goes in the air!

And mommy scratches it saying "booty scratches"

It is so silly to see but it beats him chasing me

I'm going to go hide from mommy in the cat tree now

I love to see her walking around looking for me when I'm just in the hidey square

Then when it's time for bed I'm going to come out, and cuddle right up in her arm to fall asleep

Little brother likes to sleep on mommy's leg

I'm sure in the morning he'll purr and stick his booty in her face for booty scratches

he is very silly; I always watch and laugh in the mornings

But for now it's cuddle and sleep time

Goodnight world; happy purrs

Rascal Cat Brothers part 4

Hiya, my names Snowball aka: The Booty Scratch King!

That is what my mommy likes to call me when I stick my booty in the air, usually in her face,

For scratches and belly rubs.

She laughs and thinks it is funny, but I just love it and will purr and cuddle on her hand, it feels so good.

I have a lot of fun toys, but my favorite is when mommy throws a mouse high in the air.

I jump and catch it with my paws, or my mouth and mommy say, “Air Kitty” when I jump whatever that means, mommy can be very silly sometimes.

I just love to jump super high anytime I can.

Speaking of playing, I love to wrestle with my big brother Midnight but sometimes he would rather sleep.

That is when mommy pretends to be the duvet monster and I try to catch it and kill it.

She thinks I do not know it is her foot under the blanket moving but silly her I know what it is that is why I do not bite too hard; I love my mommy.

I like walking my mommy to the door when she leaves, and I always greet my her when she comes home.

She says I am her little gentleman.

But I am just nosey.

Speaking of nosey, I like to sit next to my mommy when she works and get lots of pets.

Sometimes ill even come to work with her and say hi to her little friends on the computer.

Mommy thinks it is funny, but I love attention and if I can get more from her little friends, I am going to.

Lately when my mommy and big brother lay on the couch ill come over and cuddle with them and fall fast asleep.

Mommy pets me and laughs because she says I sit on part of my brother when I lay down on account of the fact, I am bigger than him.

I do not mean to but he sure is comfy and he is such a good big brother he lets me cuddle on him too.

I sleep with mommy and big brother at night too now. Soon as mommy wakes up, I can saunter over purring and get my morning booty scratches. I love my mornings with my mommy.

It sure is fun being a cat.

Love, purrs, and booty scratches,

Snowball
