11:00 AM, Sunday, January 31, 2021: Hello there! Well, first of all, it’s the last day of January. Wow, it did the month pass so fast! The reason why I’m writing an entry today isn’t JUST because I want to… I’m writing now because it’s snowing! And what’s the big deal about that? Well, it might not snow again this year, so I’m very excited. The weather forecast predicts that there will be around 14-20 inches, that’s enough to cover me completely! I am going outside right now, it’s currently 11:00 AM Sunday, and I decided to take a glimpse of the fresh white snow that’s lightly covering the ground. Early in the morning, the snowflakes looked thinner, but now they’re thicker and they’re starting to build up. My paws are making tiny little craters in the snow, and I can feel a little frost-bite. I move onto the backyard, hoping to see more snow cover the evergreens outside. Brrr. It’s freezing. For now, that’s all I’ve gotten, so I’ll report back later.

5:37 PM, Sunday, January 31, 2021: Hiya, I’m back! I didn’t write it down before, but then I just stayed for 2 more minutes outside, then went in because I was too cold. But now, the snow is actually starting to grow more intense and gather up more. There’s about 2 inches, and it looks so pretty! During the time I was inside (and still am) I was playing a cool computer game with my feline friends. I don’t think I am going outside again today, because it’s getting much darker. I’ll go again tomorrow!

9:14 AM, Monday, February 1, 2021: Happy 1st day of February! I am in my kitty bed right now, I just woke up. I need to grab my scarf and mittens and maybe a hat, and I’ll go outside. All right, I’m outside, and woah, I’m literally struggling to get through the snow… Overnight it snowed over 3 inches! Must have been pouring! In a couple of hours, I am going sledding with Milkey at Windsor Park. There’s a huge hill there, and we love how fast we can go down it. It is a struggle to get to the top though.

11:55 AM, Monday, February 1, 2021: I’m getting into my kitty snow-mobile and heading to the park. Just since I wrote the last entry, it’s snowed another inch! By now it must be like 6 inches. It practically covers me if I don’t wear my snowshoes. There are no cars in the street right now, safer to drive.

12:09 PM, Monday, February 1, 2021: OK, I am still inside the snowmobile, I just wanted to write a short little ending before I go sledding. And it’d be quite impossible to write while going at a fast speed down a big hill I think. But anyway, I have my big sled that we haven’t used yet, and Milkey has his pink little plastic sled from last year. Oh. Oops, I might have to cut this short a bit, Milkey is calling me over to start sledding. Well, I hope it will be fun! Until next time I guess.

Previously, on Quarantine Adventures with Milkey and Ocelot: When he finally got into his PC he clicked Minecraft hoping it would start up quicker than ever. Taking one minute, the Mojang logo finally showed up, so he clicked multiplayer, and then {Ocelot’s Server}. What was next, was awfully surprising…

What used to be, a world with many colorful buildings, cozy tree houses, a sky castle, was now, just a crater with nothing but a bunch of random blocks that sparked the memories of fun days. “I- WHAT HAPPENED?!” started Ocelot… Before he started saying his next line of “what happened?!” Milkey walked in the room slouched with his head down towards the ground. “Why would these people- wait no, things do this… a couple of months of work DOWN THE DRAIN!” And with that, he hit the printer next to where he was standing and it toppled onto the ground with bits of plastic shards everywhere, printer ink was on the carpet too. Milkey’s eyes widened as he saw Ocelot’s eyebrows raise then drop down to his normal facial expression. “Well that, THAT was unnecessary,” said Ocelot with a slight hint of anger. Milkey shuffled out of the room hoping he would avoid the embarrassment of breaking Ocelot’s $3,000 printer.

The Minecraft world was left to nothing, Ocelot and Milkey’s hard work was ruined by a bunch of stupid hackers. “Ocelot!” yelled Milkey from the room across Ocelot’s office. “yeah?” said Ocelot with a slight hint of anger again. “Let’s not just throw this away, this is a chance to improve our building skills!” Over-excited Milkey yelled. “Mk” responded Ocelot, still kind of angry that his expensive printer was now prone to go in the trash.

A day passed since the incident and Ocelot still can’t let go of his printer…

“Hey Milks, did ya ever say anything ’bout the printer to me?”

“Uhhhhh, hey I got to go right now!! Byeee!” -Milkey’s last words before he sprinted out of The Cat Den and somewhere beyond the house.

“Ugh, that cat” said Ocelot slightly smiling at the fact he’s going to have to buy himself a new printer again. “Oh well” and with that, the story slowly comes to an end…

Now as we all know, lately, the world has changed a lot because of Covid-19… No parties, no pool days (Unless you have one), and we’re stuck to social distancing. That leaves us to stay at home, but what is there to do? In the kitty house of NJ, The Kitty Army has nothing left to do, no adventures to Italy, none to Greece, or to any other country as a matter of fact. But there’s one thing that Ocelot has found to do… Gaming. Now you might think, “How the heck is a cat supposed to play video games??”. ~Just remember, my cats are definitely not average cats~ Anyways, let’s get on with our virtual adventure!

Let’s take a look at the main focus of Ocelot’s computer game! Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by Mojang Studios. Created by Markus “Notch” Persson in the Java programming language and released as a public alpha for PCs in 2009, the game was officially released in November 2011, with Jens Bergensten taking over development. Now let’s finally start the story!

On a normal Quarantine day, somewhere maybe in late July, Ocelot was casually sitting in the Cat Den and using his very own Windows Mew laptop. Usually, he plays Minecraft, but sometimes he takes a break and writes stories for the Catz Times. This time he was taking a break because he didn’t know what to do and decided to go outside for a bit. The weather was nice, the sun was slowly reaching the horizon, the cool breeze swept in as with-in the first 2 minutes Ocelot was enjoying the beautiful day so far… Until, *BZZ* *BZZ* a notification appears on his smart-watch. Ocelot, frustrated as he was trying to relax, decided NOT to answer it. *BZZZZ* BZZZZ* The buzzing didn’t stop, so he decided to answer it. “So much for a perfect evening”, he murmured. Before he unlocked his smart-watch, he noticed it said: “19 new messages from Milkey”. As he knew it was urgent he unlocked his watch and dashed to messages. Below, were the messages that Milkey sent to Ocelot:

OCELOT!!
OCEEEEELOTTT!! ANSWER!!
WE GOT HACKERS!
THEY BLEW UP ALL OUR STUFF!

And far more messages but that would take too long to say. As Ocelot’s eyes moved from text to text, he got a very sick feeling in his stomach. He started typing as he saw Milkey was typing too.

“Wait what?! WHAT HACKERS?! I’M GONNA GO ON RIGHT NOW!” Ocelot was running as he was already pretty far from the house THINKING his evening would be splendid. He dashed through the neighbor’s yard and dashed through their drive-ways hoping he wasn’t going to miss what had happened to his server. As he ran into the house, Zuzia (The Cat Mom) was sitting on the couch watching a cooking show. “Why are you in such a rush?!” she asked. Ocelot had no time to answer so he ran past and into The Cat Den knocking over lamps and chairs and anything in his path. Trying to sign into his computer was A MESS, being so nervous he was trembling, struggling to type his password.

When he finally got into his PC he clicked Minecraft hoping it would start up quicker than ever. Taking one minute, the Mojang logo finally showed up, so he clicked multiplayer, and then {Ocelot’s Server}. What was next, was awfully surprising… To be continued…

Previously:  Then Milkey hopped on and revved the engine and then drove off after Le’ Chat. After  2 minutes of trying to catch up to Le’ Chat Meow, Ocelot noticed two black Fords following him. “Milkey, I think we have a tail”. Milkey looked in the motorcycle side mirror and saw the Fords. He sped up, but then he realized that he had lost Le’ Chat Meow. “Uhh… Ocelot, where did the Rolls Royce go? Did he go down the previous exit?!” said Milkey nervously. “Let’s ask Mr. Kitty…” replied Ocelot…

*BZZZ* “Hey he responded!” yelled Ocelot after a fast-developing thunderstorm started happening. “He said: 23 Cylinn Drive, but be careful!”. Ocelot started going way faster and Milkey turned on the GPS so they could get to Le’ Chat’s mansion. As Milkey looked back he saw that the Fords were gone, not one was in sight. “Hey Ocelot, we lost the t-” started Milkey, before he finished all of a sudden the Black Fords sped off the dirt trail on the side of the highway.  “OCELOT!” screamed Milkey. Before Ocelot could do anything, *BOOM* the motorcycle hit the Fords and the two felines went flying. As the cats thudded and tumbled into the ground, they heard car doors open, and paw steps running towards them. Ocelot and Milkey knew that they were too weak to move, but they had to get out before anything worse happened. When the mysterious figures got close and were about to bend down to pick the semi-unconscious cats, Ocelot got his ladder launcher from earlier and threw it at them. At that moment the kitties stood up and ran into the forest nearby. The thunderstorm started to get really bad and the visibility got far worse. The cats ran like they never did before. “OCELOT!! WHERE ARE WE GOING?!” asked Milkey with fear in his voice. “I don’t know, we just have to get out of sight,” said Ocelot in a quiet voice. 

After 30 minutes of running straight with no breaks, the cats collapsed by a spruce tree and slept. Just slept. 

*YAWN* Ocelot woke up soaking wet from the rain and freaked, “WHERE AM I?!”. After a second he remembered what happened and looked around. Milkey was sleeping as hard as a rock right beside him. Ocelot looked at his smartwatch and was awoke even more when it said 9 missed calls and 21 unread messages. Most of the messages were from Mr. Kitty, most of them said: “Where are you?!, Are you okay?! You should be back by now!!” He looked at the clock and it said 5:06 AM which is 11:12 PM the day before in the United States. Ocelot decided to wake up Milkey so that they could go to Le’ Chat Meow’s mansion to find out why he took the pen…
TO BE CONTINUED…

*BZZZ!… BZZZ!* Milkey looked at his smartwatch and he got a message from Mr.Kitty saying: Your contact will be arriving soon to pick up the package. “What contact?!” said Milkey to Ocelot. “What?! He never told us we are supposed to give anything to a contact?!” Ocelot said. *BZZZ!… BZZZ!* Milkey looked at his watch again and he saw the next message: Your contacts name is Le’Chat Meow. He will be waiting for you at the Cafe across the street from you. Please be there in 5 minutes sharp. “But what are we supposed to give Le’ Chat?” asked Ocelot. “Hmmm… I’ll ask Le’ Chat” said Milkey.

As the cats were walking towards the Cafe they saw a cat in a beret walk down the sidewalk. “I think that’s him” whispered Ocelot. Then the 2 felines walked to a table in the corner of the Cafe and Ocelot pulled out the pen and a piece of paper out of his blue backpack and started doodling. As the cat with the beret came closer, Ocelot and Milkey could tell this was the contact because the name tag on his striped shirt said: Le’ Chat. Instead of sitting down, Le’ Chat snatched the pen out of Ocelot’s paw and didn’t even hesitate to speak.

“Why did he take the pen?!” asked Ocelot seeming to be really confused. “I just realized something!” yelled Milkey. ” Yeah what?” replied Ocelot. “The pen that Mr. Kitty gave you, it probably has something in it!”. “Milkey! You’re a genius,” said Ocelot jumping from his seat then sprinting towards Le’ Chat Meow. “Wait for me!” yelled Milkey.

Le’ Chat Meow was already driving away in his fancy Rolls Royce. “Noooo!!!” yelled Ocelot. “He drove away!”. “Not yet,” said Milkey grabbing a random motorcycle next to him. “Great idea Milks” said Ocelot.

Then Milkey hopped on and revved the engine and then drove off after Le’ Chat. After 2 minutes of trying to catch up to Le’ Chat Meow, Ocelot noticed two black Fords following him. “Milkey, I think we have a tail”. Milkey looked in the motorcycle side mirror and saw the Fords. He sped up, but then he realized that he had lost Le’ Chat Meow. “Uhh… Ocelot, where did the Rolls Royce go? Did he go down the previous exit?!” said Milkey nervously. “Let’s ask Mr. Kitty…” replied Ocelot.

TO BE CONTINUED…

“Hey Bożeniec, wake up!” yelled Ocelot right into my face. *YAWN* I sit up and wonder where I am. “Oh yeah… yesterday I fell asleep on the couch in the fireplace room” I reminded myself.

Today was a Sunday, so that meant I had unlimited time to play around outside. I was deciding what to do when all of a sudden Menchie and Meow Meow pulled up in front of me with a vehicle that looked like it had been pulled from a junkyard. “Woah, brothers! Be careful, you guys aren’t even certified pilots!” I scream. Meow Meow looked like he was hurt, and then as fast as he pulled up, he pulled away. Only leaving a nasty smell of fuel. “This seems really odd, Meow Meow and Menchie are too young to be piloting…” I thought to myself.

When I got outdoors I noticed the Kitty Army was building a lookout on the roof of the home. “Can I join? I’m kinda bored” I requested. ” Oh, thank goodness you asked, Milkey was about to deliver packages to Buenos Aires, Argentina. He said he needed help loading the cargo” said Twitter. “Always happy to help. Where should I go?” I asked. “Down off the roof, turn left into the side yard then Milkey already built a ramp from liftoff, very easy to see” replied Twitter.

When I got to the side yard I saw Milkey’s ramp it looked really cool. “I wish I could go with him…” I thought.

As soon as I thought that, like Milkey was listening to my thoughts, he appeared from a bush covered in mud and icky stuff, then said: “Did Admiral Ocelot send you down here to help me, or to come with me?”. Without even letting me think about the question, he said: “Okay! You are coming with me”. Then he picked me up with his DIRTY paws and put me in the backseat of the plane.

“Umm… I was only supposed to help you!” I said while almost having a panic attack because it was my first time on a plane. Again without an answer, he started the plane and we flew off into the not-so-beautiful morning.

After we were at perfect altitude, Milkey turned on auto-pilot and walked to the bathroom. It seemed like he was in there for hours, so I decided to go check on him. I knocked. I knocked twice, no answer. All of a sudden coming from the bathroom I hear a disturbing sound, I hear the wind. I start to bang on the door, it slams open and reveals that it was not actually a bathroom, it was an emergency escape hole.

My heart starts racing and I wonder what’s going on. “I don’t want to die!” I start crying. “Why would Ocelot want to do this to me?!”. TO BE CONTINUED…

” Ciabatta fatta in casa! Visita qui per acquistarne alcuni! !” said Marco Giovanni at the local Italian supermarket. Milkey came running when he heard this announcement. “Milkey we don’t have time for this! We are on a time-sensitive mission!” yelled Ocelot as soon as MIlkey left his side. Milkey groaned and ran back to Ocelot. “Do you have the equipment to get through the city? asked the irritated Milkey. “No, all Mr.Kitty gave me was a dumb pen and said don’t lose it. But why?” answered Ocelot. “That sounds comforting,” said Milkey.

They continued walking on the beautiful mini streets until they reach a tall wall. “Um… Ocelot? What are we gonna do, the wall is too tall to climb?”. Without answering Ocelot pulled out to what looked like a rocket launcher and shot something at the wall. Instead of blasting it into chunks it burst out a ladder that stuck to the wall. Milkey’s jaw dropped, “Oh my goodness! Ocelot, how did they let you on the plane with what looked like a huge missile launcher?!”. Ocelot refused to answer and climbed up the ladder signaling Milkey to come up too.

Once the two felines were on the other side of the wall Ocelot grabbed the ladder and stuffed it back inside the ‘rocket launcher’. Ocelot looked at his watch, it was 4:15 pm. Ocelot didn’t even know what he was looking for in Venice, but the Kitty Army made him do it. *BZZZ!… BZZZ!* Milkey looked at his smartwatch and he got a message from Mr.Kitty saying… TO BE CONTINUED

*Yawn* I wake up feeling tired. I look at the clock beside me, it is 5:56 AM. When I stand up from my nice kitty bed, I walk to the window. I still see a little darkness. I pour myself some milk and sit on the rug by the fireplace looking outside.

An hour later once the sun has slightly risen, I go outside into the cold and crisp morning. I see geese flying away from the sight of me. It seems a little too boring right now. I think of what to do: “Hmm… what should I do?” At that moment I see that Ocelot and Milkey are planning another adventure. I don’t feel like flying all over the place, I just maybe wanna have a good walk, to make me fully awake.

I trot into the neighbor’s yard, the cold wet grass makes me want to go back inside. But I go on. When I reach a small sewage system I turn back around and walk somewhere else. I get about a mile from home, I went to the park that’s near me.

There is nothing to do… *Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop* I feel raindrops start falling on my back, I shiver at the thought of reaching home soaking wet. I hear the sound of distant thunderclouds. Why did I have to go a mile away from home? The thunderclouds get closer. I start sprinting towards home. I feel as the rain is getting: Thicker, and faster falling. I am only a 1/4 mile through the journey home. The thunder starts booming and I see lighting and heavy rain in front of me. I look at my kitty smartwatch and press: EMERGENCY!

Back at the Kitty Army Base… *Beeeep! Beeeeeep!* Calling all cats to General #4: Mr. Kitty! The alarm got louder and louder, all the cats started clicking n the computers trying to find the location of Mr. Kitty.

Back where Mr. Kitty is… I hide underneath a pine tree I find by the side of the road, it helps just a little. I can already hear the Kitty Army Fighter Jets starting up. I get a call on my smartwatch that I must get out in a more open area because the jets cannot land under a tree. The rain so hard I almost can’t hear my thoughts. I see above a struggling to stay up, Fighter Jet.

I go under the pine tree closest to the intersection and wait until I can get on. It lands really harshly in the already 1 inch deep puddles. I hop on and we ride away into the rainy morning. When we were getting back home, the jet started to make a scary sound: *hrrrrrrrrrr* I panicked and Ocelot did too. The jet started losing altitude, I panicked! Ocelot seemed not bothered at all and pressed the parachute button. After that, the jet gently glided down in the harsh thunderstorm onto the roof of The Kitty Army Base.

*yawnnnnnn* >Grumpisimo, you look like you are tired again…<.

After a long day watching grandpa smoke ribs outside in the sweltering heat, Grumpisimo decides to go take a nap. He remembers his dream of the 4-foot tall kielbasa. He still does not know if it was a nice dream or a bad nightmare. He hopes he does not have that dream again. He slowly drifts towards sleep while thinking of that thought.

His dream starts like this:

k i e l b a s a . . . In his dream, Grumpisimo stands up and walks over to the patio door, looking at the beautiful yard. Then he walks into the kitchen, wanting to eat something, but the ‘something’ he does not know.

He trots up to the fridge and peeks inside, he sees the stuff he would normally see: Mustard, ketchup, and kie-… OMG, it’s that 4-ft kielbasa again! Without even closing the fridge Grumpisimo sped out of the kitchen, on to the couch.

Paczek and Grumpush were in a fort again, but they were doing something else right now, not playing cards but making sure the K.A.B. (Kitty Army Base) was empty of unwanted visitors. As soon as Grumpisimo entered the fortress with that same face as the last Kielbasa incident, Paczek said: “No Grumpisimo, we can’t help you with the kielbasa, we on patrol duty”. “NO! BUT THE KIELBASA IS EATING EVERYTHING! THIS IS THE LAST TIME! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!”. “Fine, but then you have to leave us alone, I don’t want Admiral Ocelot Logica finding out that we are not do-” started Grumpush. “OK, THEN LET’S GO!” said Grumpisimo cutting off Grumpush.

The three felines jogged out of the fort and ran into the kitchen. “Why is the kielbasa gone? Maybe he ran away, let’s check other rooms” said Grumpush. The cats searched all the rooms in the house including the basement, the kielbasa was completely gone. “Wait! We didn’t check the outside!” realized Paczek. Paczek looked at the slider door to the patio, it was slightly open. “He went outside!” panicked Paczek, wondering what damage the kielbasa could do to the neighborhood. Then all cats sprinted outside, looking around everywhere.

They suddenly saw the kielbasa was not: 4ft, 10ft or even 15ft, IT WAS 25FT OF KIELBASA! “How are we gonna defEAT that?!” said Grumpush. Hmmm….. thought Paczek.

“You know that saying that Admiral made up: “To succeed and defeat, we need cats to complete!” asked Grumpisimo. “Yes…” saying Grumpush and Paczek not getting the suggestion. ” Let’s use that saying in our situation! We can press the emergency buttons on our smartwatches to call the Cat Army!” said Grumpisimo. “Grumpisimo! You are a genius!” said Paczek. Grumpisimo looked at his smartwatch and pressed the red button that calls all cats, saying ‘EMERGENCY ONLY’. All of a sudden the alarms in the K.A.B. lit up red and started sounding the alarm: *BEEEEP… CALLING ALL CATS… BEEEEP… CALLING ALL CATS…*.

In the K.A.B. all cats have smartwatches to call all cats to them, the cats know where to go due to an electronic chip in their smartwatch. All cats at the K.A.B. ran to the emergency door through a secret tunnel, leading to the patio. Cats filed out there into a neat circle around Grumpisimo, Paczek, and Grumpush. Then Admiral Ocelot Logica joined: “Hello, brothers what’s your emergency?”. “THERE IS A 25FT TALL KIELBASA RIGHT NEAR MOM’S (Zuzia)TRAMPOLINE!” said Grumpisimo. The other 85 cats looked behind them to see a 25ft kielbasa staring back down at them. Instantly, the cats ran and dispersed into 9 groups of 9. “You are in charge now, General Grump”. said, Admiral Logica. “Great honor” thanked Grumpisimo. Then Paczek and Grumpush joined a random group of ready to attack Army Cats. “ATTACK!” yelled Grumpisimo.

The cats on the sound of that word charged at the huge kielbasa. Biting, clawing out chunks, and eating of course. At the force and weight of all the cats pouncing on the kielbasa, the kielbasa thumped to the ground. Even Cinnamon, the neighbor’s dog joined the hot dog feast. Despite the past with dogs and cats, Cinnamon just cared about food.

After a couple of hours of fighting, the fight was gone. Only tiny bits of the kielbasa was laying on the grass, and the kitties (and 1 dog) bellies were full. The cats sat back down on the patio and saluted to Grumpisimo. “Wait what?” confused Grumpisimo said. ” Congratulations Grumpisimo, you are now officially 1 star General Grump”. said, Admiral Ocelot Logica. Then, all the cats jumbled up in a group and started cheering Grumpisimo “TO SUCCEED AND DEFEAT, WE NEED CATS TO COMPLETE!”.

*Blink* *Blink*. >GRUMPISIMO! I’ve been trying to get you awake for like 15 minutes now, but why were you screaming ‘One-star general Grump!’ in your dreams?< “No! ThIs WaS jUsT a DrEaM, jUsT LiKe LaSt TiMe!” started crying Grumpisimo.
