Temp Apts 4 Thru 7



Percy: This was temporary apartment 4.  It was compact (at least I couldn't get stuck inside it) and a bit higher than some of the former ones. It was light and airy, near food and water and had enough of a "yard" to have a small party.  A drawback was that it was too close to the noisy neighbors that drove me out of my favorite cabinet.

Welcome back to the saga of my search for a new apartment.  Last week I showed you Temporary Apartment 3.  This week I will do a fast tour of numbers 4 through 7.  Remember, I am a cat and apartment hunting is not unusual. 

I was relaxing when Jan entered the kitchen and yelled, "Get off my dish drainer!  It's reserved for clean dishes.

"I'm clean," I countered.

"But you're a CAT!"


So I moved onto a storage shelf.  Here I am surrounded by bags.  I'm not a plastic bag, so I moved upstairs to the next shelf.


Number 5 was a plastic-lined wicker basket.  It was okay, but not great.  When Hurricane Jan blew through and turned it upside down, I was forced to move next door to number 6.  I removed all her junk in the way (kicked to the floor) and was fairly comfortable there for a couple of days.  But then I discovered the penthouse apartment, otherwise known as number 7.  There was enough room for me to stretch.  (See my foot and tail sticking out. Click on photo to enlarge if you can't read it.)


This penthouse wicker basket was super comfy.  It had a big, soft cushion for me to relax on.  Yes, this was definitely where I wanted to live.  I didn't stick to the plastic liner and the privacy was to die for!

Until Jan found me.  "That basket is for pillows, not cat hair!  You need to move."

I could see her hesitate when I gave her my "Oh, yeah, make me!" look, but it didn't stop her.  She turned my apartment around so I couldn't access it.

Evicted again.  I would be embarrassed to be homeless, but I didn't live to become a senior mancat by giving up.  I will win!

And by the way, I should have peed on her dish drainer while I had the chance.


We are participating in Happy Tuesday blog hop.  Stop by Comedy Plus to see other posts or to join the fun.


Today is also Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day and we would like to take a moment to remember all the Funny Farmers we've lost since we began blogging: Jenny, Crystal, Cotton, Grayce, Cameron, Sam, Buddy & Merci. (Again, you can click on the picture to enlarge it.)


We all miss each of you and are the better for having known you.  Note: Micah and Percy will most likely not be saying that when one of them goes, but who knows - they might become friends before then!  :)


Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day was founded by Deb Barnes of Zee and Zoey’s Cat Chronicles, author of Purr Prints of the Heart.

  8. Bwahahahahahahaha. It's not too late to pee on the dish drainer. That would teach her. I think you need to talk with her about having a place of your own and then letting her help you with that.

    Have a purrfect Happy Tuesday. My best to your funny mom. ♥

  10. I wish you luck finding a great apartment. The dish rack was super modern but there is always a chance of getting wet and we know you'd not like that. Keep us posted. We miss our Funny Farmers that have gone before us. ♥

  12. Wow Percy you're sure having a lot of bad luck with your house-hunting! Maybe it's about time Jan provided you with a special box all your own with plenty of soft cushions and maybe some yum yum treats and squeaky toys too. We have lots of extra boxes in the garage that you can pick from. I think a couple of them might even have mousie scent on them.

    It was nice to see all of your dear angels.

  18. Percy, Mr. M was a connoisseur of box-apartments. By any chance are they any vacant ones around your establishment that the rude landlord wouldn't give eviction notices on?

  19. So many great baskets to chose from! Thank you for the fun post and for sharing the memories of your beloved angel friends. Love and purrs from Deb, Mr. Jazz, and the Zee/Zoey gang.

  22. Katie of katieisabella.blogspot.com/ left a comment but it has totally disappeared, so posting it her for her.

    Percy...you will find THE perfect apartment I know. I had to make the biggest kitty smile though, at another commenter's comment about the rude landlord evicting you from apartment after apartment. It is not a very friendly neighborhood. BUT... don't move...times will change for you I know. The perfect apartment is right around the corner. Hey, come on over with me for overnight, and we will discuss strategies.

  26. Percy...I hope things are finally going YOUR way this morning! You have had a terrible time finding an apartment. I wanted to say that and also see if my comment will stick to the page here. Yesterday it wouldn't. XX

  27. Well, darn, that wicker basket looks like it made a grr-eat nest! The texture was fab! I think you'll have to put your foot down and tell Miss Jan that you have made it yours. The pillows can find a new home! Tee hee hee!
