Homecoming

We have different ways of greeting Human Mommy when she returns home after a prolonged, unauthorized absence.

The Woofies throw her a party, bestowing kisses and cuddles and licks as if they’re happy to see her.

It’s kind of pathetic.

We Cats, on the other Paw, pointedly ignore her, regardless of how often she trills our names or makes kissy-kissy noises in our direction.

This is Cold Tail, arctic in fact, and it’s exactly what Human Mommy deserves.
