Daily Feline Wisdom

No, Human Mommy, you may not join us on the couch.

Can’t you tell we’re holding an Important, Secretive, Inter-generational Cat Conference here?

—Apollo and Darth Vader

It’s only Tuesday, but it already feels like it’s been a long week, not least because all our meals have been served an hour late.

Thank Dog for naps!

—Cosmo

I am a tight Cat coil, both because it is chilly and because I don’t feel like interacting with anyone.

No one can penetrate my zone of isolation.

Especially not the Bouncy, Pouncy Young Interloper, not even if he pounces.

—Luna

Xena often brags about being the Best Chin Rest, but who is there when Xena needs a Chin Rest?

Me, I’m there. I’m a good and most obliging Doggo.

—Sunny

Did you overdo it a bit yesterday, the best day of the year, Halloween, when everything is about you as a magnificent, glossy House Panther?

Nothing a full-day snooze on top of your Human Mommy and next to your favorite Woofie and Co-Void can’t cure.

—Darth Vader

Ears up—listening to what you’re saying.

Ears down—thinking about what you just said.

It’s unfortunate you can’t move your ears, Humans.

It’s much harder to know what’s going on with you.

Uncle Darth is right that this Halloween portrait setup leaves a lot to be desired.

Still, I think he could work with it.

Okay, I can see that you made an attempt to set up my Official Halloween Portrait, Humans.

But, really???

My pumpkin is as yet un-carved, my skeleton is awkwardly positioned, and, while some of the background leaves are the appropriate yellow color, others are still green, which doesn’t read autumn.

Fix this.

—Darth Vader

It’s nice how the Humans bring flora inside the house—it really brings the outdoors in.

Still, I wish they’d bring in some fauna, like some plump Birdies, playful Squirrels, or even some Field Mice.

That would truly add to the ambiance!
