Welcome, July! In the last post, a certain Kitty not only forced her way on to my blog, she made off with my change (though she won’t get much with $4.57) and escaped before the police could apprehend her.
She made off on this Cutie Car. Obviously, she didn’t get very far. Would you, on this thing?
But she managed to get some distance away at least. To help the police, I set out to discover her whereabouts. First stop: Kitty’s parents. A bewildered Ken and Barbie had this to say:
Ken: First of all, the fact that she’s our daughter is news to us.
Barbie: All we can say is, we’re very disappointed that her life has turned out this way.
Ken: Is she really a supervillain? They’re supposed to be rich. She never gave us anything.
Barbie (disapprovingly): Ken! . . . Anyway, she came by here after slipping off that Cutie Car. It was the banana one after all. What did she expect?
Me (crickets chirping)
Barbie (slightly embarrassed): We told her to turn herself in to the police.
Ken: Especially since she never gave us a dime for rent after moving back here.
Barbie: Ken!
They weren’t much help. But an astute person snapped this photo of Kitty scaling a bureau.
Oops.
Her dangling escapade must have ended soon afterward, because the next Kitty sighting took place in a patch of flowers. Maybe she thought she wouldn’t be noticed.
She was wrong.
The last sighting took place on Brush, a tree you might recall from this post.
But when the police converged on that spot, Kitty was gone. No one knows where she is now.
Meanwhile, Lyn Miller-Lachmann asked about Jordie. Life has been up and down for him. Having always believing himself to be straight-up gangsta, Jordie decided to acquire some molls just for the look of the thing. But things didn’t work out. This photo was taken seconds before the would-be molls beat up Jordie, and made off with his wallet. I was told they went on to a successful, but short-lived bank robbing career. (Hmm. Guess it wasn’t so successful, if they were caught, though I heard a movie is being made of their story, even as I type this.) After a stint in prison, they headed to Hollywood, where they’re working as stunt doubles.
Weary of the laughter and jeers of others (ironic, considering his outfit), Jordie gave up his life of crime. (He wasn’t good at it anyway.) He’s peddling ice cream somewhere.
Lemony Limes also decided to give up the lackey life and go straight. She applied for an internship with the Avengers and is now being mentored by Captain America. And even Goldie the goldfish, still shocked at having been chosen to be one of Kitty’s lackeys, has realized that crime does not pay. What would a fish do with money anyway?

Poor Jordie. At least he has ice cream. 🙂
That’s about all he has right now. But there are worst things to have! 😀
Hope he doesn’t eat the profits!
Glad to hear Jodie has given up a life of crime…it certainly doesn’t pay. 🙂
Yes! And after a long stint on the jury, I saw that first-hand (as you know). 😀
🙂
Just read your post about Milly. So sorry to hear that. But I’m glad you’re sharing her story.
I think the whole story, soup to nuts, is a good thing. Lots of adventure to come! And, thank you!
Her life would make a fascinating book.
It certainly would.
You are making the most of these fanciful creatures. Even Hello Kitty and her ilk have learned crime doesn’t pay. Ha ha!
Yes! This is a lesson I don’t mind imparting to even a stuffed animal. 🙂
P.S. Your book was shipped, so it should arrive soon, if it hasn’t already.
Got it ~ thank you!
Yay!!!!
You must have read Freakonomics, which points out that most criminals still live with their parents or grandparents. Crime definitely doesn’t pay, at least unless you’re a too-big-to-fail white-collar criminal.
I haven’t read it, Lyn, but now you make me want to read it. 😀
Oh where
Oh where
Has Miss Kitty gone?
Oh where
Oh where
Can she be?
With her hair quite short
And her claws quite long
Oh where
Oh where
Can she be?
Love it, Nancy! 💟😀 😁
Yes, where indeed? When I find out, I’ll let everyone know. 🔎
Yeah, she’s a sly one…might come to your house with that song singing about her – ya know, big ego and such.
😉
Very true. I’d better change the locks. 😀 😁
Goodness! How did you become mixed up with all these criminals?? You’re clearly mixing with the wrong crowd – be careful they don’t lead you astray! I fear for you… 😱
I appreciate your concern, FF! You were right to caution me. Why just the other day, I wondered how I would plan the perfect heist. I gave up the plan of course, though I kept a copy of it on my computer. . . . 😀 😁
Been awhile since I read a story filled with such as the likes of Kitty, Ken, Barbie and I love that get-away car…what a crack up.
Thanks for the fun post, L.Marie.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Laura. Chronicling her adventures was a day brightener for me. 😀 😁
I wonder if Kitty isn’t hiding in plain sight; here by not. You take care, L. Marie. She’s shifty and could be just about anywhere, hiding. If you have a ceiling fan, I’d check there. I’ve found all sorts of miscreants up there. haha
Good thinking, Penny! I seriously need to dust mine. Perhaps that might be where she felt safe to hide!
