Settling In
At Sea
Well, we've been at sea for almost two weeks. This is not bad. So far the bait bucket has been targeted only three times, the rigging has been climbed numerous times by the kittens, two cat fights have been broken up, two betting rings caught in action, one cat fished out of the ocean, and over twenty impersonations of me by Captain caught on tape. The hoomins are relaxing on the deck when they aren't busy taking care of us. The fat wench isn't sneezing nearly as much as usual. She says that the only thing she's allergic to on the ocean is us cats. PawRob has been taking good care of himself. He's the hoomin guru for us all. PawRob says that he's owned by all cats, and seems determined to prove it. He let four of us sleep ON him yesterday afternoon. This doesn't count the seven that were on the rest of the bed. The fat wench said that there wasn't enough room for her and took a nap on the sofa instead. She thrashes around so no cats really want to sleep on her anyway. Besides she likes to be cooler than PawRob and doesn't keep the place warm enough. Gem and the blonde wench are at their usual summer activities. PawRob told them that they weren't to be hanging out in the rigging, behind the deck house, or in the crow's nest ever again. Gem says that there aren't many other places for the two of them to be. The fat wench laughed and said, "Exactly." I don't understand the big deal. It's not like sex is that exciting. Mike has been busy being paw to our latest addition Qui Gun Kit. Qui is only eight weeks old and a very determined napper. He'll even nap with the fat wench, given a chance. He loves to nap with PawRob and tries to snuggle up against QC. Seeing a less than two pound kitten snuggled up to a twenty-three pound Maine Coon mix is a study in contrasts. The rest of us laugh at him, but we wouldn't dare smack him, QC has taken Qui Gun under his paw, even grooming him upon occasion. This is not a good sign for those of us who'd like to teach the little monster not to play tag with our tails. The kitten contingent among this year's crew range from eight weeks to a little over a year or so old. They have a lot of talent and potential. We've drafted a bunch into the army as there is the possibility of meeting up with the dastardly d*g pirate, Captain Ruff, or whatever his name is, personally, one d*g is like another, the big difference is that the little ones seem meaner and more dangerous than the big ones. The rest are being integrated into the crew. For instance, Stanley has been delegated to assist Scotty, our ship's engineer. Captain and Harriroadcat have been delegated to assisting the quartermaster, and Ranger is assisting in the kitchens. The other new members have been assigned to places that seem to work with their talents. Smokey, our Bos'n is very good at figuring out where a kit's abilities lie. The new seine nets seem to be working well, though the hoomins stick to rods and reels for their fishing endeavors. Between the two methods, we seem to be doing pretty good on fish, though the hoomins are talking bar be qued boogers. It sounds nasty to me, but then I'm not hoomin, thank Bast. Respectfully, Cap'n Pine Cone esq. |
