The Best Thing
a poem by Viola.

Boxes arrive.
Stuff unpacked.
Excitement abounds.
Really, who needs that stuff?

If excitement is the point,
wouldn’t it be cheaper
to order an empty box
and watch me nap?

Please excuse our intermittent commenting presence for the next two weeks while 1) road/home construction near Colehaus has our Internet connection super wonky at best, and 2) Mom is on vacation meaning Dad is in charge of Colehaus Cats until September 1st. Who knows what kind of trouble that means!

    What a poetess you are Viola! So many talented kitties live at your house! Thank you for visiting us when we lost our poor Julie, it meant a lot to hear from all our old friends. We’re sorry to have taken so long to write but our hearts just hurt so much. Keep up the good work! Purrs!
