Miu just submitted to a thorough brushing, brush miu we man.

We just out-cleaned the hairbrush, milestone in Local Miu History man.

 

Miu eats about Many (2+1) cans of glop per day, ingest miu man.

She's our first miu who eats "cuts" and doesn't merely lap the sauce, thorough miu man.

We had to feed previous Cats T-B. paté only, waste of other glop man.

 

Miu is like glue to Mini-B., lap-fungus miu to Mini-B. man.

Miu is also quite affectionate to Mrs. T-B., affectionate miu to Mrs. T-B. man.

However, when miu is on floor, miu runs away when we approach, don't get it Niki-B. ma'am.

Doesn't feel like "our" miu yet, sigh man.

 

And what breed of miu looks like a tiger, huh Niki-B. ma'am?

bengals.  they tend to be really playful and you can take them on walks.  But it's possible she's just a DSH (domestic short hair) which means "short haired mutt cat that no one  knows what it is."  Both of mine are DSH.  one is an orange tabby and the other is just black.  He's part Siamese and wouldn't run away if about to be run over by a truck.  

Give miu time.  If you do the feeding, she may warm up to you.  She may not play fetch like your old miu but maybe she would like a laser toy, or a da bird.  My cats LOVE da bird. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/da-bird-feather-teaser

Haven't put 10K miles on the Camry yet (was driving slightly more with PRG around, but have retreated to basically only leaving the home for doctor's appointments and driving practice for PRG; even have groceries delivered now).

It'll be five years old in December.

I've put 5000 miles on mine in the last 2 months. 😑 That doesn't include all the miles I drive at work.

I just want to share my brand new pet peeve -as if I didn't have enough-: people overusing the term hygge and not even having a clue about how it is spelled...they write it hooga! They truly get on my nerves. 

The end. 

It is weird because I wouldn't often use the stand alone hygge. I'd say something is hyygelig. Or if I'm being annoying I say koselig, because the Dane hates when I speak Norwegian.  I think it is interesting that people can be hyggelig in Norwegian, but not Danish.

Miu gathers that we feed her, because she looks at empty bowl and then looks at us, blame game man.

Maybe she's scared of us because we're big, surmise we man.

 

And miu is playful, si Niki-B. ma'am.

She likes dangly toys plus small stray items that she finds on the floor, opportunistic miu man.

And she hasn't once tried to run out the door, nonopportunistic miu man.

It ain't no mere game to identify a miu, no man!   

And where's our bonus point for pictured miu, huh man?

[TBoneTX 45,361]

Funny occurrence last night, si man.

Miu has electronic litterbox, electric eye man.

Many (2x2x2+2) minutes after miu does its business, rake goes off, sweep away miu pupu man.

 

Miu did its business and lay down by box, out-chilling miu man.

Many minutes later, rake went off, miu go on alert man.

Rake quit, and miu got into box for sniffing and inspection, curious miu man.

Many minutes later, rake went off, miu go on alert man.

Rake quit, and miu repeated inspection, Groundhog Day man.

This repeated twice more, repeat twice more man.

Had we not gotten up and scared miu, this would have gone on all night, assuredly man.

[SAT 9,609]

Was there too much PPP money that went around or something? 

Too much stimulus? Too much unemployment benefits being passed out? 

 

So....I'm trying  to return my leased car. 

The Lexus dealer where I got it from is awfully complacent. 

I'd email them. They take days getting back to me. 

This is going on a few weeks.

We're going back and forth. 

 

So the sales manager email me a few days ago, to ask if they can offer me anything?

I emailed her "I've spoken to Steve, we were not able to come to an agreement yet, but I do have to return my car soon, please let me know when I can come to return it"

 

She must have forwarded this email to the salesperson, and he emailed me, today (Finally).

"You can return your car at any dealer near you" 

 

Are you kidding me? Did you just tell me to go to another Lexus dealer to return my car? 

Did you just send your customer to another Lexus dealer? 

 

Coincidentally, right when I'm fuming in disbelief, the GM of this dealer sends me an email

"Can we offer you a new car?" 

 

(Do these people have daily meetings to communicate? like my company did?) 

 

I emailed him back. 

"Since your salesperson, 10 minutes ago, just told me to go return my car at "any Lexus dealer", I will get my next car at "Any Lexus dealer". 

 

So, I contact this "Any Lexus dealer" in NJ at about 3 PM, today. I have a deal, I now have a new Lexus...

 

And my kids' Godfather also has to return his Lexus from this same dealer. So it was a 2 car deal. 

 

It's almost funny lol. 

I'm sure they know that every Lexus dealer have the same car for the same price.....

[TBoneTX 45,361]

Miu seems to understand (or has been introduced to the idea) that we feed her, edified miu man.

Miu also submitted to more brushing by us, miu needs to lie still instead of squirming during it man.

Miu napped with head on crate mat and butt on marshmallow bed, eclectic miu man.

 

Miu wanted to play late at night, loudly asked Cat-Daddy for same man.

Miu attacked dangly pole, good huntress man.

Miu absolutely demolished "Play 'n' Squeak" fake mouse, even dragged it downstairs man.

 

And miu's one-week anniversary with us is Thursday, seemingly adjusting miu man.
