Daily Feline and Canine Wisdom

I’m a Daddy’s Girl, but I also love my Human Mommy…

…particularly her legs, which are making for a most excellent cushion.

—Xena

Did I liberate the hair catcher from the bathtub drain?

Yes, I did, but I don’t feel even a little guilty about it, Human Mommy.

Let’s be honest—this tiny plastic doodad is no match for your head furs and it makes for a good Cat toy.

—Apollo

Uh-oh! Has Human Mommy clogged the drain again with her long furs?

It certainly looks that way, little Neo. Human Mommy should start licking herself clean like a civilized creature.

—Neo and Apollo

But surely you’re not going to displace me, Human Mommy…

…not while I’m engaging in an adorable, upside-down head nap.

—Apollo

We’ve made it over the hump, Humans.

Surely that deserves a meal…

…or at least a hearty snack.

—Cosmo

Look, Human Mommy! I’m doing something creative with my tail.

Enough of that…

My tail is now tired.

Innovation is hard work.

—Neo

You’d think that, with all the times she’s gone up and down the stairs, Human Mommy would understand the Stair Toll.

You would be wrong.

I still have to explain that the toll is due prior to descent, that we Toll Collectors do not accept IOUs, and that strokes are appreciated but are not a substitute for hard currency like Tuna, ‘Nip, and chilled cream.

—Apollo

As a Cat, it’s your duty to look a bit affronted when your Human Daddy forcibly scoops you up for a lap cuddle.

That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it, though.

—Lily

Happy 4th of July, Humans!

Kindly refrain from producing those loud booms, bangs, and pops that you often use to mark this holiday, as they might alarm my beloved Little Brother Neo.

We can’t have that, now can we?

—Apollo

This may look like many other photos Human Mommy has taken of me snoozing on my Cat Tree, but if you look more closely, you’ll see that my back paws are crossed.

This is a fancy nap.

—Neo
