in her sister's paw steps

isis (top) was very fond of the bathtub. she used to get in between the shower curtain and the liner when i was in the shower and wait for me to finish. then she would jump in and catch the drips. she would come out all wet and with a little kitty mohawk. then i got a new shower curtain and she started waiting on the toilet next to the shower. eventually, koobs (bottom) would join her and they would both sit on the toilet - isis on the tank part and koobs on the seat part. after isis died, koobs stopped coming in the bathroom. but recently she's been coming in and sitting on the tank part just like isis did. she has no real interest in getting in the tub though and she gets kind of annoyed if i bring her in.

soft like a bunny

koobs went in for a urine test this morning but she didn't have enough pee so she had to stay there until she peed. i enjoy taking her to the vet because the doctors and nurses coo over her and tell her how pretty and well behaved she is. her regular doctor is on vaca this week so she saw someone else who said she was "soft like a bunny."

snow kitty

koobs enjoyed a little vaca to vermont. she packed her fur coat, her gummy bracelet and her appetite. she enjoyed hiding under mom's bed, exploring the top bunk, bonding with her auntie tee and watching the snow fall. it was the longest car trip she's been on in years. when she was little she went from albuquerque to san francisco.

November 14

november 14th is an important day in kitty history. i know this because it is zoe's birthday and i always forget it because of the important kitty things.
two years ago, there was a mouse in the house. i assumed if they ever saw a mouse, koobs would go after it and isis would hide. but the opposite happened. isis wanted to play with it and koobs hid under the couch.
one year ago, i was so scared that there was something wrong with isis. she had been peeing on the floor and i took her to the vet. they told me nothing was wrong with her.
and today was the alarm and fireman incident. which was very exciting for koobs.

so much to talk about

this morning the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms went off again and again. so i had to put koobs in her box and sit outside for a while when the firemen went inside and checked for fumes. it was the longest she's ever been outside and i knew she would want to talk about it forever. i went out to dinner after work and while i was gone she talked so much and followed carrie around. carrie was annoyed and worried. but koobs was just sharing the details of her adventure.

Isis & Koobi Fora 4eva

i just got this tattoo. i thought about getting different hieroglyphic representations of isis. but i wanted it to be for both of them so i did this instead. and now they will be with me forever.

home for good

i brought isis's ashes home on friday. i wanted koobi fora to be interested in them or to recognize them in some way. but she doesn't. here she is posing with the box. there is a spot for a picture but you can't get the picture in unless you unscrew the box and i'm worried that things will fall out. i am going to build a shrine.
