Chilly and gloomy, you say?
A near perfect day for ornithology, I say.
It’s all in how you look at things.

Forgetting Something
Good morning, Human Mommy.
You’ve let the Woofies out, you’ve made coffee…
But you’ve forgotten something important.
Think really hard, Human Mommy. It will come to you… No?
Cat treats! You’ve forgotten to distribute Cat treats!
–Lily
Job Description
Sometimes your Humans may forget that their job description includes providing a lap until you decide otherwise.
I am enjoying this lap, Human Mommy.
Stay!
–Louie, Guest Contributor
Inventory
Be sure to count your logs…
…in order to calculate how many hours of fire you will have.
–Luna
Thank you, Grammy Cat!
Thank you for my new big bed, Grammy Cat!
Despite what the Woofies say, I know that you intended it for me and only me as its brown color complements my autumnal stripes.

Prodigal Cat
I recently moved to my Winter Palace,* as I do every year.
Human Mommy fretted, as she does every year.
Unlike other years, when she has been more accepting,** Human Mommy dispatched Human Daddy*** to retrieve me.
So I find myself back in my Summer Palace.
For now…
–Phelps
*Phelps’ Winter Palace is a cold weather shelter for stray cats that a neighbor set up 4 houses down from his Summer Palace. No strays have taken advantage of the Winter Palace, as Phelps claimed it as his, several winters ago.
**Human Mommy has never really “accepted” this situation. It’s just plain embarrassing when your Cat leaves a perfectly well heated house, numerous Cat trees, and expensive kibble to rough it in a heated storage container with an endless supply of Meow Mix.
***Human Daddy, while not nearly as embarrassed as Human Mommy, sent numerous Cat photos to the neighbor 4 houses down so that she could see that Phelps’ Summer Palace isn’t half bad.
Throne
When you are true royalty…
…every seat is a throne…
…even a step stool.
–Lily
Monday again?
Monday again?
I’m not in the mood.
–Darth Vader
Reservation System
We really do need a reservation system for Human Daddy’s lap.
Wait times are out of control.

Catching Up
Are the annoying booms, bangs, and pops well and truly over?
Good. Wake me for dinner but not before.
I have hours of sleep to catch up on.
–Quicksilver
