05/08/2020 – Friday Facts or Fibs

Today, we’re listing five items that may or may not be true. Two are absolute truths and three are wild statements without any truth whatsoever. Can you spot the fibs?

1 – All Colehaus Cats love getting combed and brushed except Pia, who always needs it.

2 – Olivia enjoys being read to; her favorite author being long-winded Herman Melville.

3 – Tessa sleeps in the smallest, tightest ball possible for a cat.

4 – Quint regularly jumps down behind the clothes dryer and meows for help getting out.

All Colehaus Cats sleep with Mom and Dad each night except for one. Miss Independent Viola sleeps in the kitchen in one of two boxes, we presume, to guard the house from overnight bug visitors.

Think you know these Colehaus Cats? How’d you do?

Numbers 1 and 5 are absolute truths. #1 – Pia can’t stand being combed or brushed but we work hard every week to keep her fur from matting. Someone once told us long-haired cats have nerves close to the surface of their skin, making brushing painful. Don’t know if that’s true but it seems to make sense in Pia’s case. #5 – Viola has always done her own thing, including sleeping out in the kitchen by herself every night. Sometimes, Mom misses Viola’s kitten days when she used to sleep on Mom’s pillow.

Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are total fibs. #2 – While being long-winded may be a deterrent for some readers/listeners, Olivia doesn’t seem to mind. However, Herman Melville bores her half to death and she’s most apt to find somewhere else to be, while listening to James Joyce makes her snuggle into blankets, purr and fall asleep. Sorry, Mr. Melville. #3 – We are talking about Tessa here, who tends to take up the most space possible for a cat weighing 13 pounds. #4 – This was a tricky one: Quint did jump down behind the dryer once and yes, meowed for help, but that was years ago. Nowadays, he rarely acknowledges the dryer exists, let alone the confining space behind it.
