The JMEOWW Diaries V.5

Welcome, fans of the queen beast. I am delighted to report that my precious monster seems to be growing out of her incredibly violent phase and is now only slightly violent, sometimes. With age comes wisdom, and also apparently hunting skills.

San Diego has been experiencing a disgusting and horrifying influx of grasshoppers. Which I confuse with crickets, and also dragons. They are awful. It is the second sign of the apocalypse, as far as I'm concerned. The first is the never ending 90-degree temperatures.

One night JMEOWW somehow enticed a disgusting grasshopper to enter my apartment by squeezing under the screen door. Then all hell broke loose. My sister and I started screaming. Justin started laughing. And J started running and meowing and had no idea what the fuck she was doing. Worst hunter. Ever. Every time the grasshopper jumped, we screamed, she meowed and he laughed. It was ridiculous. I was begging, begging Justin to kill it but he got all alpha and was like, NO WOMAN. SHE MUST LEARN HOW TO KILL PESTS. In this weird Thor voice.

I said fine but if she eats it, I'm disowning her. But I had little to worry about at that moment because my moronic cat could not even find the damn thing. Again, worst hunter in the entire world. Of course Justin helped her because he has some sort of death wish. When she finally caught it and had it in her mouth, part of my soul died. My little meoww was now a murderer (with evidence. not just alleged.). But it's good because she will rid the house of pests. That is probably what Charles Manson's mother said too.

The rest of the night she was on high alert. GRASSHOPPER? No, stupid. It's your shadow. You ate the grasshopper.

GRASSHOPPER? Ugh, NO. That was the wind blowing.
On a scale of 1 to the RHONJ, we are at about Guidice levels of intensity in my apartment between faux-grasshopper sightings and laser whining. Just wait until the move. I should schedule her counseling session now.

  1. I wasn't a fan of cats--- until I read this. JMeoww is the greatest pet name there ever was... on Saturday Night Live this week, someone made a joke about their dog named "Bark Ruffalo" and I'm considering stealing it for my future dog, because puns are what make my life worth living.

  2. One hasn't lived until a cat has enticed in a couple of insects and, oh, a mole or two. Holy crap, I once chased a GOPHER around my living room with a yardstick.

    True story.

  3. haha, poor things. I think pets must feel the stress we have (especially aboutmoving) and are NOT fans of the whole process. Hopefully the grasshopper sightings will go away, and she can calm down...just in time to move.

  4. Abby chases down flies, catches them, and eats them. Or leaves them in my shoes as presents. Jestina got to witness that this weekend. Lovely.

  5. Hahaha, this is amazing. AMAZING.

    Can I just talk about my cat batting at a 5 inch (at least! also a dragon!) caterpiller climbing my bedroom wall on Monday night? And then laying in bed last night listening to my cat meow and thinking "hmm, she's rather talkative right now," to notice she's meowing at a GIANT STINK BUG CRAWLING OUT OF MY SOCK DRAWER?

    The grasshoppers invaded San Diego and drove all the other monsters to Ohio. My bedroom, specifically.

    I would also die if my meow ate a bug. I screamed at James to kill it before she did.

  6. Someday, when Jmeoww's moved out and gone off to meow college, you'll thank me for all the cat-rearing wisdom I bring to the table.

  8. Oh to be a fly on the wall that night!!! Good for Jmeoww's new found hunting skills!! You should actually be pretty proud. ;)

  9. HAHAHA that photo!!! I DIE. My life would be sad without you J. "That is probably what Charles Manson's mother said too" I am still laughing!
    I can only imagine Hawkeye near a bug. "omg mom it TOUCHED me, I need a bath!"

  10. Dragons and Thor and all considered, I'd be on high alert too! This is no place for a relaxed kitty! It's a good thing you're moving; it's obviously way too epic where you live now.

    1. Lol...she's been on high alert since birth. We could move to a relaxing tropical local and she would be spastic. I blame the laser.

    absolutely disgusting.

  13. Oh and I'm pretty sure SD is turning into the South. Pretty soon San Diego will be filled with Trailer Parks, singing fish on plaques, fat men wearing "Who Farted" t-shirts, couples registering for their wedding at Walmart, hankies hidden in our bosom (to catch the sweat), children in confederate flag diapers, tractor-pull romantic weekends and every nasty bug known to man, invading our space.

  14. Hahahah! Guidice levels of intensity! That's INTENSE! I gave my cat treats when he killed spiders. He never ate them though. Actually, I don't think he ever killed one either, just batted it around and left it paralyzed.

  15. i did, in fact, witness shannon's cat leaving her dead flies in her shoes.
    i ALSO can attest to the fact that her Abby cat wanted to do upon what jmeoww did to the grasshopper... to me. it was intense.

  16. Hahaha omg!! I died laughing over here!! Matt is looking at me like I am crazy with tears running down my face and breaking into laughter as I type my response....anyways Kors and Spade love to chase after spiders...as long as they are small ones. I can't imagine a grasshopper ew!! but they do meow for a bit looking for whatever spider they just killed and ate
