Mom, are you quite through yet?

Oh, sweet Tessa, you know I’ll never be through with you and your toys. It was a good week of toys, don’t you think? And I just couldn’t help but round out this stressful week without one more Things on Cats photo and you, sweetie, take the best ones.

Well, maybe that’s because I’m the Best Cat Ever! Or did you forget that already?

Never.

With any luck, we’ll round out this week with good news, reasonable decisions and a smooth path forward. You hear that next week? The Best Cat Ever has got her eyes on you. Make it a good one!

Hey, maybe Quint was on to something last Monday. Maybe all Mom needed was some lazy summer napping cats, a couple of favorite toys and her camera. Shall we call this a Week of Toys or maybe go one step further and proclaim this the Summer of Toys?

I don’t recommend pushing things that far, Mom.

Okay, maybe you’re right. But just one more . . . for fun!

Clearly, Viola was having so much fun, she refused to look at the camera.

8/17/2026 – Nothing for Monday?

. . . and then she said, “I’ve got nothing.” And I thought, “What?”

This is my mom who always has something. She has things to do, things to say, things to share. And she has me! Why would she say she’s got nothing? On a daily basis, I give her all kinds of blog content. I politely ask for food in my bowl in the morning, I clean up after eating like any gentleman would do, I take all my morning naps in more than one spot and that’s just the morning content. She could have a field day with all that, at least enough blog material to run for weeks, more if interspersed with content from my sisters. Yeah, I know, more glaring from one, more napping from the other. Whatever. Mom, just run with all this for a week. I can’t believe I’m saying this but if things get really tough, you could always put toys on my sister Tessa’s head and take pictures.

All right, Mom, see if I ever try to be helpful again!

THANK YOU dear Friend of Colehaus for thinking of us last week. We’re building our vet services fund because we never know when something might happen. Both Tessa and Quint are 14 years old now and Viola will be 13 in October. The babies have grown up. THANK YOU dear angel for your generosity!
