The Cats Talk!

Nimbus: You guys are so not going to believe what Mom did to us! She abandoned us!
Jadzia: She didn't abandon us, kid. The beans went out for a night and they just came home late.
Curzon: Mom would never abandon us. Just take our word for it kiddo. That's the same bean that took me in off the streets when I was young and spent every last bit of her energy and inner strength to nurse us back to health and then help you survive when you were born. I guess you don't remember nursing out of a straw, eh?
Nimbus: I don't care! Both beans were gone all night! Mom forgot about me! I didn't get my morning shot!
Jadzia: She poked you as soon as she got home, which for the record was only three hours later than you would've gotten your shot anyways. And because you weren't too high, she decided it was better to keep you on your schedule than give you a partial shot. Don't start badmouthing the beans. They love us more than perhaps you can understand.
Nimbus: But MY bean wasn't in bed for me to snuggle with!
Curzon: You mean to put your butt into his face. You and your mother are so rude like that.
Jadzia: Like you're any better! You sneeze in their face!
Curzon: Need I remind you of how you used to fart in the bean's face!
Jadzia: HEY! I can't help she fed us crappy food! And besides, that was years ago!
Nimbus: STOP ARGUING! *grumble* You two are always bickering.
Jadzia: It's natural for siblings to do that.
Nimbus: I'm glad I didn't have any then.
Curzon: So am I...
Jadzia: CURZON!
Curzon: What?
Nimbus: ENOUGH! Now I'm just trying to say how I feel like we were abandoned.
Curzon: But we weren't, and look, they came home to us, just like every other time!
Nimbus: But every other time it was just one of them!
Jadzia: Besides, I'm not letting her leave even to go check the mail. I'm not getting off of her lap, I'm blocking the door...
Curzon: And I'm providing added security to that.
Nimbus: So she's never gonna leave us again?
Curzon: She's going to have to go back to work. And she'll probably leave again, and maybe both of them. What's important is that you know that whether just one of them leaves or they both leave, they WILL return.
MomBean: Just for the record, Mr. Cat and I went out as we said we were going to for the Super Bowl. We went to a friend's house and we decided it was best we stay there overnight.
Nimbus: But you cheated on us! I smelled it!
MomBean: What you smelled was their dog. She didn't sleep with us, we just pet her a couple times.
Nimbus: Promise?
MomBean: Oh Nimbus! You do this every time we go anywhere where there's animals. So does your mom and uncle. What are you going to do when I hit the lottery and start my sick kitty shelter? Sheesh! We love all animals, and will give them pets and lovin's. But we love you guys the most, and nothing's going to change that. You know that.
Nimbus: But...
MomBean: No but's about it. You are the one that snuggled up with Mr. Cat after we got home.
Nimbus: Only 'cause mom was blocking the way!
Jadzia: I was not!
Nimbus: Oh please! Every time I get within eyesight-range of you, you hiss at me!
Curzon: Didn't I teach you better? Don't take her crap!
Nimbus: I don't want to hurt my mom!
Curzon: I didn't say hurt her. Just don't let her bully you around!
Jadzia: I don't bully! I am a Queen! I just require a wide berth of space!
Curzon: Oh please.
MomBean: Oh please, all of you! We had a great time watching a great football game (I told Mr. Cat the Saints would win LOL), we had great food (though it went so quick), and Mr. Cat got his behind shocked with a surprise birthday cake. You guys probably didn't miss a beat. I bet you guys slept almost the entire night away.
Furballs: BUT WE MISSED YOU!
MomBean: We missed you too. We came home soon after we woke up. Notice how we gave you guys affection as soon as we got in the door?
Jadzia: You call scooping me up and carrying me outside affection?
MomBean: Oh please. You got a good lung-full of fresh air and scritchies from Mr. Cat. Besides, I could've done worse. There's two and a half feet of snow on the ground. I could've dropped you in it again like I did in December.
Boys: NO!
MomBean: I won't. There's just too much snow. It wouldn't be fair to you, could get you very sick, and would mean I'd just have to go in and retrieve you because there's just too much for you guys to find your way through. The last thing I want is to get cold and wet myself. I had enough of that trying to get to work during the height of the storm. I won't do that to you guys.
Furballs: Promise?
MomBean: Promise.
Jadzia: So why don't you tell our friends about what you ordered and what you did to the other bean?
MomBean: Ok first of all, I didn't do anything! Well, not all by myself! It was agreed by our friends (the ones who hosted the party) and I that we should get Mr. Cat a birthday cake at least, and we had even considered making it a dual football and birthday party. But cooler heads prevailed and we just made it a football party and she bought a cake for Mr. Cat. We put some candles on it (not nearly enough, we weren't out to kill him lol) and sang "happy birthday" to him as I carried the cake out to him. Of course, the look on his face was classic and I was laughing so hard that I couldn't finish singing! I know he doesn't like having a big fuss being made of his birthday, but compared to what we could have done, we didn't make a fuss over it at all! Of course I know that all of our friends that helped us give Mr. Cat a good birthday are now probably already planning what they're going to do to me next year. I'm dreading that, but maybe by that time I'll figure out some way to get back at them! As for what I ordered, it wasn't anything for you guys yet. I might get you guys something special, but with as tight of a space as we have here, I can't do anything fancy. There's no sense getting a tent as you boys love the cave so much.
Nimbus: But Curzon's hogging it!
MomBean: Gargh, and how long were YOU hogging it? Anyways, as I was saying. I just bought myself a bigger battery for the PDA since this one is so small (it's a smaller charge than even my travel battery on the ol' Toshy) that the poor thing doesn't hold a charge at all. Plus, I'm not even sure it's in that good of condition. And since we're talking about a bigger battery (both size and voltage or whatever you call it - that's Mr. Cat's expertise, not mine), I had to get a bigger case that could accommodate it. I have months yet before you guys' birthdays come up so I have time to decide what I'm going to get you.
Nimbus: We need a remote controlled NipSock!
Jadzia: No, son, because your uncle will eat it and then get sick and barf it up and ruin it for us.
Curzon: HEY!
Nimbus: True. He IS the one that drops food in the water bowl and has barfed in the food bowl more than once.
Jadzia: And eaten yarn and plastic string that nearly got him rushed to the vet. For a cat that so hates vets, he sure knows how to get himself sick enough to make the beans worry about having to take him to a vet.
Curzon: Hey I'm doing better!
MomBean: Yes, you are, but because your nephew got so sick and we had to switch you guys' food. It was a good side effect of getting Nimbus healthy. We got you healthy too. Now if only you'd stop dropping food in the water bowl!
Curzon: But I like it wet!
Jadzia: Well then scoop it out after you drop it!
Nimbus: Or don't drop it at all, eesh!
MomBean: Nimbus, you really don't have much room to talk, Mr. Cat-Litter-On-Nose cat!
Jadzia: *laughing*
Nimbus: Hey at least I always use the box... AND BURY IT *grumbles at Curzon*
Curzon: I try!
Nimbus: Scratching on the box and everything around it doesn't work. You actually have to push cat litter over it with your paws, big boy.
Curzon: Who you calling big, fat boy?
Nimbus: I am NOT fat!
Jadzia: Hey you two, you're BOTH big! Neither one of you are fat though.
MomBean: Nope, she's right boys. You two are two very strong healthy cats. Now I really do think we should wrap this up before we bore all of our friends to sleep. OK?
Everyone: Bye everyone!!!!
Jadzia: *reaches for send button*
MomBean: OW! Claws!!!
