Daily Feline Wisdom

It wasn’t a phase…

I am most definitely a Shoulder Cat.

—Apollo

Guys, I understand the importance of your Woofie Guard Duties, but could you lower the volume of your barking a bit?

You’re drowning out the dialogue of my Birdie TV show.

—Apollo

Wanna play, Apollo?

Oh, I would, Xena, but I’m currently busy practicing my Majestic Egyptian pose.

—Xena and Apollo

The Humans keep the outside doors closed and Luna tells me it’s too cold to practice Ornithology anyway, so I can’t very well hit the town as I planned this Friday night.

So I guess I’ll just have to do the next best thing and prowl around the guest room, which the Humans usually keep inexplicably closed.

—Apollo

No, I’m not bothering Uncle Darth, Human Mommy.

I know that he’s the Elder Cat and that it wouldn’t do to disturb his midday nap.

I’m just giving my back a good stretch.

Why do you always assume the worst?

—Apollo

I’m sorry you have to get up and go to work, Human Mommy!

Don’t feel too bad—I’ll sleep in for the both of us.

—Sunny

Is it still too cold to get outside to practice Ornithology because your Human Mommy has set the outdoor thermostat extra low for reasons known only to herself?

Curl up in a tight, sulky crescent, both to conserve heat and to signal your displeasure.

—Luna

Yes, I know this slipper is a little big on me, but it’s still mine since I’ve claimed it.

Besides, maybe I’ll grow into it.

—Apollo

For reasons known only through herself, Human Mommy has the outside thermostat extra low. This is not nice.

Fortunately, Human Dady makes us lovely, toasty fires. This is very nice indeed.

—Cosmo

I am most beautiful and I know it.

I adorn the hardwood floor better than the most exquisite Persian carpet could.
