Hi, everyone! I'm back! We are finally getting settled in to our new home in St. George, Utah, and it has been a major adjustment for me. Let me tell you a little about moving as a cat. It stinks! First there is the confusion and uncertainty, as everything that is familiar is packed up and loaded into a big truck. Though I do have to say that when the house was empty, I could run around like a maniac!! That was a lot of fun.
But then I was picked up and put in a cage with my sister, Meeshka, and we were put in the front of the truck and off we went. I don't like riding in a vehicle, because that usually means going to the vet, but this time we went a lot farther than the vet! We rode up over the Cascades, had a tire blow out near Sisters, Oregon, then went on across eastern Oregon and south to a place called Winnemucca, Nevada. There we stopped for the night, and as my humans were taking me into the hotel room we watched a barn owl flying around a nearby field. It was pretty cool, even though I was glad I was in my cage! That old owl might have had me for dinner!
The next day we headed east on the interstate, and Nevada interstates are awful! I thought I was going to get bounced right out of the truck! Can't humans do anything right? Anyway, we made it to Wells, Nevada, then headed south from there until we reached Ely. We stopped for the night in Ely, and continued on to St. George in the morning.
And here we are. I'm still getting used to my new home, but as long as I have my kitty friends and my humans, I'll be fine! My humans don't have their computer hooked to the internet yet, so I'm having to dictate my column to my human daddy and send him off to the library to type it for you, but that's okay. Both my humans have found jobs already, so pretty soon they'll get my computer hooked up and I can write to you as often as I want!
In the meantime, be good to each other, help a kitty in need, and spend lots of money at Salem Friends of Felines thrift shop!!
Your friend,
Obie
