Who's Minding the Deck?
'Sheba may think she's so clever by hiding in the jungle, but I know where she is, and I can pounce on her any time I want. I just feel like sleeping in the garden right now:
No, those aren't snakes. They're actually something worse. Mom calls them "soaker hoses" and when they're turned on, they make my nice sleeping spot ALL WET. Gross!
Well, I wanted to tell you all about my deck. Since it is MY deck and not Bathsheba's! I usually sleep out there because someone has to protect the place from all the vicious animals that come in the night.
Just last week a big ol' coon came on my deck. Unfortunately, I was away prowling at the time. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) Well, this coon had the audacity to wash his filthy paws in my nice clean water dish. (It even has my name on it!) Then he must have sniffed in my food dish, but I'm real good about cleaning my plate; I don't leave any crumbs! Well, that must have made him mad because he proceeded to take his muddy paw and made a paw print right in the middle of my dish. When Mom saw it the next morning at breakfast, she scrubbed and sanitized it real good. She didn't want me to get any coon germs! But she destroyed the evidence! She should have been like the CSIs and at least taken a picture of it before she erased the evidence. And now you all might not believe me that I have this vicious coon after my food. But it's true, and I'll make Mom take a picture if he ever dares to show his face on MY DECK again.
And while I'm at it, let me explain why I eat out on the deck. I think it's because Mom loves me extra special and wants me to eat al fresco out on the veranda, but mean old Bathsheba says it's because Mom is trying to keep me away from her food so she can eat in peace. I must admit that when we're fed side by side, I eat real fast so I can help 'Sheba with hers. Isn't everything for me?

We heard about your blog from Rosie & Cheeto. We added you to our links and our new blogs section.
Looks like you are having lots of fun in the wide outdoors.
Hi! Skeezix sent us to see you - nice to meet you and welcome to the blogsphere! Come and visit us when you have a chance
Jake, my mom says you look like a marble cake! I don't think she meant you look like an actual cake, but who knows. I think she thinks way too much about food.
Thanks, everybody, for the kind words and all the publicity!
At first Mom thought that she would make us indoor kitties, but once we had a taste of the great outdoors, we could never be content inside only. We know there's lots of danger out there, but we thrive on it. We're happy to share our outdoor adventures with our indoor buddies.
Yes, you can call me Sheba for short, but what's wrong with the word bath? As long as it doesn't involve water, don't most of us like baths?
