\nOur humans put us back in the cages again today, and back in the big gray box on wheels. We weren\u2019t happy. Kaylee was just getting comfortable at Grandma\u2019s house, and Noxy had started hanging out with Grandma on the couch! <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI explored while they put all the food and all the cat toys and all the litter and litter boxes in a couple of boxes and a bag. And before I knew it, we had been shoved into our cages and were back in the car.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMine seemed a little softer now \u2013 I feel like there might be something new and soft in here \u2013 but I complained a lot anyway. The road was very windy, and Noxy threw up bigtime. (Now we\u2019ve had the trifecta in the car: Poop, pee and throw-up. And Mommy\u2019s purple quilt and the seat cover have protected the car seat every time.)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe weren\u2019t in the car very long this time, thank goodness. Suddenly we were out, and in a very loud, crowded kitchen full of people. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

 Mow Mow. OK, she was cute. But she pulled my tail! Kaylee found a good hiding corner upstairs, so I stole it from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All us cats and the stuff that came with us to Aunt Julie and Uncle Mark’s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

At Aunt Julie\u2019s there was a baby! The little terrorist was chasing me around and flailing her arms and saying<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen they took the baby off for a nap at her house across the street, I came out to explore. I like it! I inspected Uncle Mark\u2019s office and deemed it acceptable. I like the couch, too. There\u2019s also a tall box that say\u2019s \u201cAudrey\u2019s House\u201d with a doorway in it. I might take it over and hide in there<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAunt Julie and Uncle Mark are nice and quiet. I think I\u2019ll try to sleep with her; she looks like she might be allergic to cats. My favorite kind of human. He grew up with cats, so I think I’ll ignore him.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We were greeted by a cute little terrorist.
\nHer name was Audrey.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nNoxy refused to come out of his cage, and when Grammy (Lisa) lured him out with wet food, he scarfed it up and the bolted into the deepest corner of the closet under the stairs, where I think he might stay for the next two days.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nKaylee came out after the baby left, too, but then she went back upstairs.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen Mommy and Daddy and Grandma left! Cousin Catherine promised she would send Lexie a picture every day. I hope she shows me pictures of Mommy, too. I have the feeling it will be a long time before I see her again.<\/p>\n

Ellie Smoit, the Adventure Cat, is chronicling her journey from her house in Colorado across the United States and to Mexico, with a little help from her owner, Lexie Greenawalt.<\/i><\/p>\n

Noxy was even starting to like Grandma before we suddenly left.
\nBut Daddy Bob says we’ll see her again in November<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I found a basket I really liked.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Even Kaylee found a favorite step,
\nafter she spent two days hiding under the sofabed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kaylee liked exploring Aunt Julie’s house at first … until the terrorist<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is her. Audrey. She’s safe in this picture because
\nshe’s in her own house across the street.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
