Peter missed, help needed!

Hoomans! Hoomans! Hoomans!
You won't believe it! Peter is gone! Just gone! GONE!

Peter is the bug that Ruska told you about a while back. The bzzzzzbzzzzz one! I like playing with him a lot. Usually I have to wait until Mommy or Daddy gave him to me to play with, because they said we can only play with him with supervision. But the other night I was very bored and I saw where Daddy had put it... on the white shelf in the hallway! So when Mommy and Daddy slept and could not give him to me, I went there to get him myself. I played with him for a while and then I left him somewhere when I got hungry. But I can't remember where I put him. I searched everywhere. He is GONE!
I jumped on the shelf two more times. Mommy got angry. It was the first time she really got angry since we are here.

I really can't find him anywhere! If you see him, please tell me!

Today we got fancy cardsies. They are like the fancy booklets, but they are cardsies. Otherwise they are similar. They say our names and many things about us! We also got blingblings again as we got already with the fancy booklets. Ruska said they are meant to be put onto a collar. But Mommy and Ruska say that cats should not wear collars, cause it's very dangerous and we could kill ourselves. So we have noplace to put the blingbling. But it is nice to know we would have blingbling if we could wear collars.

Here is cardsies and blingblings.

Today also came the yummy cream that makes our bellies better. Mommy wanted to buy some the other day, because our bellies were upset. In our old home, one could buy it at the human pharmacy, just like that. But apparently in Germany that does not work. A nice lady has to tell the pharmacy that you need it and only then you can have it. I was already excited, maybe we would get to a nice lady again?
Mommy then said that her aunt is a nice lady and might be able to help. But then she found a pharmacy for animals, which is inside this machine here and then she bought it there. Today it arrived. Too bad our bellies are not upset anymore today, so we don't get to eat the cream! But our bellies are upset quite often, so hopefully soon. yay!

The cream came with new toys. Mommy said that they will clean our teeth while playing. I don't believe that and neither does she. But they are awesome toys!

Teethtoys!

Don't forget to tell me if you saw Peter!

That thing called vet...

Hello!

It's me, Phoebe. Mommy has been talking about a huge trip and adventure lately. I am not quite sure what she means by that, but it can only be a blast. Trips are one of my favorite things, so I am already pretty excited!

It was a few weeks ago when I first recognized that something was odd. Daddy all of a sudden left with a suitcase, in the middle of the night, and did not come back yet. Mommy seemed pretty sad, so I already feared he might not come back ever again! I did my best to comfort her. But I quickly realized that he wasn't really gone, but somehow got stuck in this machine here. I see his face and hear his voice every now and then, when he talks to Mommy. They talk about human stuff, about a thing called "Frankfurt", about work and flats. At some point Mommy said they found us a new place to stay and that we all would go there together. Me, Ruska, Mommy and Daddy. I'm a bit confused, I think it is quite decent here, no need to change. But that's humans, who is supposed to understand them?

Lately Mommy has been talking a lot about a thing called vet. I think I heard about it before, but it has been a while and doesn't quite ring a bell. Ruska said, vet means that we are most likely going to die. I don't believe her, she tends to exaggerate with those things. But today was the day! Mommy prepared our transport bags with warm blankets and hot water bottles and sprayed some of that stuff in there, that smells so nicely. I ran into my bag immediately when she called me, because the bags mean that we are in for something super exciting! Ruska was not that convinced, of course, but Mommy stuffed her into a bag as well. I was a little confused because we usually share a bag, so we can cuddle.

Then another human girl came and she took my bag. Mommy carried Ruska and we left the flat. Oh, it was really cold out there! And lots of the fun, strange white stuff on the ground. Too bad I was in the bag, so I could not play in it. We walked a long time through the cold and I heard how Mommy kept saying she would put Ruska on a diet, because her arm was falling off. Hihi. Ruska cried all the time and tried to get out of the bag. Then we got into a huuuuuuuuuge car, with a lot of humans in it! Wow, that was exciting! I screamed as loud as I could, because it was so much fun. Even Ruska stopped crying and stared at me. As well as all the humans on the big car. Whoops.
Then we got out of the car and Mommy and the other human girl started to look for something and kept talking about 'time' and 'too late'. They had to ask someone for help and finally we got into a warm place, that smelled funnily like cats and dogs and the stuff that Mommy sprayed into our bags.
Mommy talked to a woman there and they said something about chips. But I don't think they meant the same chips that Mommy and Daddy eat sometimes. I stole one once, they are bloody delicious!

We had to wait quite a while, there were dogs and other cats that screamed even louder than Ruska, but then a nice lady called our names and Mommy took us into a separate room. She said "Ruska first, cause she will spread terror.". And Ruska did. I was watching from the bag, you know? Ruska tried everything to get off the pretty silver table. Mommy and the nice lady had to hold her together. Then she meowed "OUCH!". Then they held her even tighter and then she screamed very loudly, said many bad, bad things in cat language and tried to bite and scratch the nice lady. But she only laughed and said "Well, now that didn't work. I'll have to sting you again."... they held even tighter, but this time Ruska didn't move or say anything at all. The nice lady stroked her with a thing and it made beep! That was funny! Then she could go back into her bag and oh boy, I have never seen her run in there so fast! Next was my turn. I was allowed to sit on the pretty table and the nice lady said what a cute and well-behaved cat I am. Needless to tell me, as if I didn't know. They held me as well and I got a sting. It was not bad at all, Ruska really is one whiny cat! Then I got the second sting and that hurt very badly!! But I was very brave and didn't cry at all. The nice lady stroked me with the thing as well and guess what!? I beeped as well! Hihiiii! I went also back into the bag and Mommy got two fancy little booklets.
Later she showed mine to her human girl friend and they laughed and said now I am not Fibi anymore, but Pheobe. I didn't get it. We went out into the cold again and Mommy said we are home soon.
Home we took even two of the huuuuuuge cars and in the second one there was a dog sitting almost next to me. He was very nice and we had a wordless conversation through the whole way.

Then we were already home and Mommy dropped onto our bed and said "Once and never again...." Weird.
I am really exhausted from this adventure and there is supposed to be an even bigger one!? Wow! I will go back to sleep and get some rest. What a day. And of course I was right... no yummy chips for us. I wonder what that was all about?

I'll keep you updated in here! And Ruska too at times. Possibly.


Yours, Phoebe



P.S. Here are pictures of the fancy booklets!!

Left is my fancy booklet, on the right is Ruska's.

This might be the reason why Mommy said I am called Pheobe now.
