Starvation is imminent.
We are not exaggerating.

*But mostly DV since he is the SpokesCat, his tummy is highly sensitive to emptiness, either actual or anticipated, and he has the mind of an accountant who happens to count kibble instead of tax breaks.
Is your Human Daddy considering running errands on a weekend, thus abandoning you, his Little Bundle of Joy?!
Sit on him. Now he can’t go anywhere.

There are plenty of more comfortable spots to lounge, but my favorite spot is next to Miss Stella…
…even if I sometimes get a trifle squished.
It’s worth it.

What is this, Human Mommy?
Is this Steak of Apology for abandoning your Feline Overlord while noisy tree work was being performed outside his favorite window, which interrupted his daytime naps, which was all the worse because lengthy thunderstorms had perturbed his circadian (Catadian) rhythm the night before?
It’s in a baggie…
Oh, that’s better.
Throw in some brisket and I may accept your apology eventually.

Summer mode…
…activated!

It was hard to sleep last night with all the booms and ka-booms!
Today, a nice long snooze is definitely in order.

Usually, the Humans are not allowed in the Private-Members-Only-Cat-and-Woofie Club, sometimes erroneously referred to as the front porch, because they are not Members.
There is, of course, an exception if they are working for the Club Members.
Here, Human Mommy is on duty as a cushion for an esteemed, founding Club Member.
She can stay.
–Darth Vader
It may be a holiday weekend for you, Humans, but not for us Guard Cats.
We Guard Cats take no holidays from guarding the homestead.
–Phelps
You want me to come inside, Humans, because there is a storm brewing?
But I am inside… Inside the Private-Members-Only-Cat-and-Woofie Club.
Question: why are you inside the club, given that you are not members?
–Finnegan
It’s a hot day.
Best to settle in for a nap.
–Stella
