Mitten Monday


 
We've been having a busy and exciting summer here at Casa de Cory.   Unfortunately that means mom isn't always available to take my photo and help be my secretary.
 
First she went off to "play"...really?  Why can't she just play with me?
 
Then we had some serious drama.   Our gas range went haywire!   The thermostatomagigamathingie broke and mom thought the oven turned itself off...but NO!  It went on full blast.
 
Our house filled with smoke!  The smoke detectors went off, then our fire alarm went off...Grete was barking her head off (for the record it did not help)...and the chick-hen that was baking in the oven....well the dish it was baking in shattered!   You know what that means.   I didn't get to eat the chick-hen.   Luckily my daddy is smart and he shut off the gas.  Whoa.
 
Then the nice firemen came...
 
You know I can meow about it now.  I was SO freaked out that I made myself REALLY small.
 
Mom couldn't find me until after it was all over and we were all safe (except for the chick-hen).
 
Whew!   All us kitties and Grete are safe.  Mom and dad are safe...the house is safe.
 
But the gas range?   Not so much.   We will be getting a new one soon.

That whole stove thing sounds like it was more scary than fireworks! My human would have been as freaked out as you, Cory!

Holy cats, how frightening! We're glad that it turned out okay (well, for everyone except the chicken and the baking dish). You have reminded the head peep to trim back the vines that grow over and obscure the gas shut-off valve at our house.

Oh my Ceiling Cat, how awful!! We are glad everything is ok now. We would have been freaking out too.

Wow! And we thought the 4th of July fire-boomers were bad! We freak out when the fire alarm thing goes off so we can only imagine how you all felt. We're glad you're okay.

That is so frightening! Too bad about the chick-hen, but we're quite sure your mommy will love a new stove. Mommies are like that ;-)

That is way too much excitement! We are so happy no one got hurt or blown up. You were smart to make yourself small.
