Better Day

The fake news yesterday turned out to be all too true and I was taken to the Vet. That was a bad day.

A handsome tuxedo cat perches in the top branches of a red maple.

Today I convinced the Humans that I am fully recovered from my vaccinations and they eventually let me outside, where I promptly scaled a tree.

Today is a better day.

Worried

I’m worried, Human Mommy.

Big Brother Apollo has confirmed that my outdoor foliage is still very green, which obviously won’t do for my Inaugural Official Halloween Portrait, you have only procured three jack-o-lanterns, though I need at least double that, and I’ve only received this single sleeping pumpkin as a Halloween gift, which doesn’t even really count as mine because I have to share it with Auntie Lily, the Queen of Autumn.

Do better.

Foliage

Little Brother Neo asked me politely to take a closer look at the foliage situation.

A handsome tuxedo cat climbs a redbud tree that is still very green.

I don’t want to break his Voidling heart, but I can confirm that he’s right to be concerned.

We are going to need a LOT of paint, skillfully applied, for this to work as a backdrop to his Inaugural Official Halloween Portrait.
