Taki's under house arrest!

She seems to be much more animated lately? Maybe it's because we haven't been letting her outside unsupervised, which means she doesn't get to go out much and isn't burning enough energy. But, this restriction is for her own good, since there are cat killers in our neighborhood,  Griffin Park.  See the story here. . . . click on the little camera to see the video. . .

I am HORRIFIED and OUTRAGED that someone would hurt, let alone mutilate and kill some poor little innocent kitty or any animal for that matter!  Those cats were family members to those families, just like Taki is to us.  And we live in a really nice neighborhood! Everyone we've met is friendly and you see cats all the time in yards, so it really surprises me.  Jarrod said he thinks it's probably some mischievous kids. Which makes me wonder what kind of evil, demonic children would do such a thing?? It's just really sad. And if it was a child that did this, what's next?? A dog?? or another person??  It's all just very very disturbing and scary! I hate to admit this but it really shook me up. Jarrod is looking at maybe having to be gone for a few weeks and I am really nervous about the prospect of being home alone that long! I wish more than ever right now that I had a big dog around to scare people away!

And poor Taki just sits by the door and cries. She LOVES going outside in the afternoons and laying on the back patio. I feel really sorry for her. She rarely leaves our yard, but I just can't take the risk of her wandering down the street and never coming back. . . .

On a lighter note, here are some funny pictures of her over the last 2 weeks. She likes on get in or on top of things like. . .

Can't you see why we love her so much! Never a dull moment, well except for the 23 hours a day she's sleeping! It's hard not to love a face like this. . . .
