Special Toll

In honor of the 4th of July, the Stair Toll is payable ONLY in Tummy Rubs.

Why, you ask?

Because Tummy Rubs inevitably result in the deployment of our Murder Mittens…

A grumpy dilute Tortie lounges at the top of a staircase, exposing her snowy white belly.  She is meowing aggressively, presumably explaining to a human that the toll is payable only in tummy rubs.

…and we Toll Collectors are feeling rightly annoyed by the continuous barrage of bangs, pops, and booms with which you Humans celebrate this Cat-forsaken holiday!

Lunch

Lunch happened yesterday, but it is almost too late for lunch today and Human Daddy has made no move towards the kitchen.

Three disconconsolate dogs, a little yellow one, a little black one, and a big black and white one, lounge on a grey loveseat.  They are wondering why they are not getting lunch today.  They got lunch yesterday and they assumed that set a precedent.

We will have to console ourselves with the fond memory of yesterday.

And hope for High Tea.
