A Cat Worse Than Kitty

A new villager has moved in, and I was not happy to see that it was Monique! She was one of my very first adversaries going way back to the early days of my GameCube town (along with her partner in crime, Olivia). They were so rude, and I hated them (and Yuka too, who also lived in my town in those days).

Monique: What, can't you tell? I just moved here, and now I'm trying to get everything in its proper place!
Your proper place is a different town.

I know I was tired of Kitty being in my town, but Monique is even worse. Oof. Well, hopefully Monique won’t stick around for years like Kitty did.

Puck was talking about dabbing some beet salad on his clothing to show the outside world the stuff inside him. Yuck. I don’t want to see inside you, Puck.

Puck: Cuisine couture helps me show the outside world the stuff inside me! Like beet salad!

Down at the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Ballad for me. Oddly enough, that’s the same song he played for me in New Horizons tonight!

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Ballad.

Rasher was feeling sick with a cold. Since it’s the holiday season, I thought I would be nice and buy some medicine for him. When he took the medicine, it seemed to work a bit too well.

Rasher: Huh? Heeey! I feel all warm and tingly inside! Is this waht happiness feels like, woof woof?
Yikes. Please never make that face again.

Portia asked me for some new clothes, so I bought her two outfits at Able Sisters (in case she didn’t like one): a night sky tee and a one-way tee. But she refused them both, saying they weren’t gaudy enough. 🙄

Astrid G’roo on Me

I recently received Kitty’s goodbye letter in the mail. It feels weird to not have Kitty in town, especially when I see that big empty space near the southwest beach. But still, I’m glad she finally left.

Dear Jeff, I've decided to move away from Forest. It's hard to say bye to good friends like you. So I won't. Because I'm SURE we'll meet again somewhere! -From: Kitty
Please don’t say that. :/

Many cedar trees are decorated with festive lights for the holidays now. But there are only a few spots in town where you can see three lit-up trees on-screen at the same time.

Several cedar trees decorated for Toy Day/Christmas.

When I ran into Astrid (the kangaroo who killed Kitty), she asked me to make a delivery to Walker. She mentioned her catchphrase, “my pet,” but it almost sounded as if she was calling Walker her pet. Walker is a dog after all, so it’s semi-believable. 😉

Astrid: Here you go... Please take this to Walker, my pet.

I went down to the Roost and asked K.K. for a random song. I didn’t even realize it was 11:58 p.m. (so I barely made it in time), until I looked at the timestamp on my screenshot. 😛 He played K.K. Country, which is not one of my favorites. But I must admit, the live version sounds better than the aircheck.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Country.

After the show, I made the delivery to Walker. Astrid sent him a kappa suit, and Walker was not a fan.

Walker: Huh?! A kappa suit?! Ummmm... Yeah, I don't think this is gonna look good on me...

When I returned to Astrid, she rewarded me with some cabana flooring.

I have to say, Astrid’s help in getting rid of Kitty is making me like her (Astrid) way more than I would have otherwise. Even though I know it’s really just a coincidence that Kitty moved out after their fight. It’s like I’m just so grateful. 😀 It might just be a temporary boost, but for now, she has my approoval.

I took the bus out to the city, but almost everything was closed. Redd’s was still open, and of course the auction house is always open. So I stopped in just to say hello to Lloid.

Lloid: Truly a shame of Herculean proportions! However, I beg of you, do not give up the hunt! Please do try again!

I posted a new video comparing a number of aspects of the five main Animal Crossing games. If you haven’t seen it yet, I hope you’ll give it a watch.

See you all next time!

Nine Lives Lost, At Last

Winter has arrived in Forest, as snow now covers the ground and trees. Chip was hanging out in front of town hall, because there was apparently a fishing tournament today. Who knew? 😛

Chip: Ah! Oh, this is a shame. The Fishing Tourney ends at 6 p.m. Yep! All done.

He told me that Goldie was the winner of the tournament with a 41.2-inch sea bass. So Goldie wins the gold! Yay!

Chip was also on the minds of some of my villagers. Rasher was impressed by Chip’s cooking skills, but also by the way he gobbles up the fish!

Rasher: Yep, Chip has a way with fish in the kitchen. But the way he gobbles them up is a jaw-dropper, too.

Saturday night is K.K. night, so I slid on down to the Roost to check out the show. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Steppe for me. That’s the 2nd time in my last 3 K.K. shows that he’s played that song! He needs to steppe up his game.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Steppe.

When I visited Kitty after the show, she gave me the best Christmas present I could ask for: After 1,415 long days (almost 4 years–since January 2017), Kitty is finally moving out! YES!

Kitty: Sorry. But, as you can see, I'm leaving town, I'm awful.
I’m a certified north coast Kitty cat killer.

Take a good look at her, ’cause it’s the last time. 😉 I’ve been waiting for this day forever! Maybe that fight with Astrid last week was the last straw! 😀

I’m sure she’ll send me a goodbye litter letter in the mail next time.

Anyway, Bones asked me to catch a dab for him. I agreed to help out, and it didn’t take me long…only four attempts! And one of the other fish I caught was a lobster, so I made some money in the process. I took the dab back to Bones, and he rewarded me with a lattice wall.

I can’t wait to see who my next villager (and final new villager of 2020) will be! Enjoy your weekend, everyone! 🙂
