Searching for Vegas in Maine

Our kitty cousins, Vegas and Kaz, are typical teenagers. Despite not visiting for over a year, at ages 16 and 13, they thought they were too cool to hang out with their younger cousins, namely Asa and myself. But that didn’t stop us from trying to find out where they were hiding during our visit with our grandparents, Babci and Pepere.

Cats don’t swim, so clearly they aren’t in the lake.

Is that them over there? No, that’s Babci’s squirrel friend, Rocky. At least he came out to say, “hello!”

Inside the house, I examined their water bowl…

Take that cats! I left doggy slobber in your bowl!

…while Asa searched for any treats they may have left for us.

Forget the cat food, I smell hot dogs in this fridge!

After a quick snack break with Pepere, we continued searching.

Remember Asa, what happens at Pepere’s stays at Pepere’s! Not a word about the extra treats to Mom and Dad.

While I sniffed on top of the rugs…

Do I detect a hint of catnip?

…Asa searched underneath them in case they were hiding there.

I found their stash of catnip. No wonder our kitty cousins are hiding. They are on the nip!

Asa then tried to lure them out of hiding with a slipper to play with, but our grandparents told him cats don’t play with them.

What could cats possibly play with that is more fun than a slipper?

Then our grandmother, Babci, had the brilliant idea of taking out a toy box full of squeakies that our other cousins, Huskies, play with when visiting.

No signs of our kitty cousins in here either.

Who can resist squeaky toys? Cats! That’s who! Despite all that squeaking, our kitty cousins didn’t join us.

Ha! Ha! Kitty cousins! We are having way more fun than you!

We may not have seen Vegas and Kaz during this visit, or any other visit for that matter, but we sure had a great time with our grandparents, Babci and Pepere!

It was wonderful visiting with you Babci & Pepere! We’ll be back soon! And maybe, just maybe, Vegas & Kaz will pop out to say hello.
