Princess is annoyed, and I am annoyed

Princess is annoyed because it is raining. "Dad" brought her in early. I will not let her back out. I do not really think she would enjoy the rain, and it is dark now.
I am annoyed because: Princess keeps trying to run my printer, get in my face, go out the window, and generally be a nuisance. Hubby kept talking to me, we have mosquitoes, my sister called twice to confuse me about my brother and dad. whew. I sent hubby to bed so I could get a moment here.
I was trying to finish a second textbroker article, but between the cat, the hubby and the bugs, I gave it up for the night. I got an empty wooden drawer to turn upside down on my printer so that her majesty cannot step on the print button and shoot out papers everywhere. At least that does not use ink.
I should not be crabby, I took a two hour nap today. Wrote an article, interacted here, got the mending started for my sister, made a good dinner, made yogurt. I met my swagbucks goal as well.
This is just a rant from the cat and I. See you all tomorrow.

This photo she was outside, wanting to tell me to let her in but not make her walk on the floor. I have seen the city spray twice for mosquitoes so I was very surprised these made it in. I killed them quickly.

Hopefully you and princess will both fall asleep to the sound of the rain, and let that make you both content.
I am sure Princess will get over it soon enough.

Oh, I helped Princess. I gave her catnip and she was pleased. She does not get it often. Sometimes I feel like it may be that she acts up because she knows it is time for me to turn out the light and get some sleep.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes. Because she does not want us to be out of routine.

@GardenGerty So she's acting up because she knows it's your bed time? Just as a reminder that you need to get some sleep?

There are certain people, whom you know, if you ever won a lot of money, you would do something nice for. You would be one of those people. I would love to be able to mail a gift card for a spa to you. Get you a facial, manicure, pedicure, and massage...I just made myself jealous.

We should go on an imaginary girl's day. The two of us. We could have a nice long chat. You are a sweetie. Things are better as it is morning. Herb day is coming up this weekend and that will be a nice treat.

With two of them they can get in twice as much trouble or they can keep each other out of trouble but it just depends on the day, I am sure.

She wants on top of the highest surface, which is the printer, so she can look out at the rain and be unhappy. I gave her catnip, on the floor and that helped a bit. I need to sew up a catnip toy.

I am not even certain this was deliberate. She just wants what she wants when she wants it.

@GardenGerty I hope you took her permission before blurting out her age to the whole myLot community.
You better start dyeing her hair. Ask her what colour she prefers,

In the dark she would be hunting for moths. Mostly she likes to make sure no strange cat is in our yard.

Well it is daytime now, and drizzly but the cat is outside anyway. I am going to make her a new batch of homemade food. I realized the other day that real turkey or chicken is about one fourth of the cost per pound of commercial treats. I mix yogurt and pumpkin and sometimes oats in it as well and it is healthy and satisfying for her.

It sounds like Princess may be bored and so is annoying you so she can go out again. I don't blame you for keeping her in because of the rain.

She fusses a lot if we make her come in for bed time, but then quiets down when we turn out the lights.

My Sophie likes to be out on the porch at night because it is pleasant out there and when I want her to come she does not. I wait for her to come in and then close the door for the night and tell her she can go out the next day.

We make her come in at night because we feel it is dangerous.
