2/23/2026 – A Monday for Mom

Don’t laugh. I’m only wearing this silly thing because Dad said it would make Mom happy. I’m notoriously uncooperative when it comes to things being put on my head. I already have things on my head; my fur. Oh, and my ears. I don’t need anything else. But sometimes, Mom insists. Well, she tries. I insist her efforts are silly.

Dad said I ought to be a sport and try it just once, for my Mom. After some negotiation that touched on the return of my crinkle paper-filled Island Box, I agreed to the following:

I will allow Mom to place one or more toys on my head, not to exceed 5 toys, and photograph such as evidence of my cooperation. In good faith of this deal, Dad will replace my Island Box within 30 days with fresh crinkle paper to be changed out once a week. Further stipulations may occur at a later date.

I wanted Mom in on the deal as well but she’s having what she calls an “interesting” time at work this week. I don’t know what she’s complaining about. I’m the one with a braided fabric worm on my head. That box better be coming along soon!

2/20/2026 – Finally Friday

Nothing much to see today. Just an orange and white boy enjoying the winter sun. Although, it does seem a bit quiet even for my usually quiet ginger mind. Real quiet.

Yep, still quiet. Kind or eerie to be honest. No breathing in my ear, no purring other than my own, no jostling for the best spot. Maybe I should check on this quietness. That’d mean I have to get up from this sunshiny spot on this wonderfully warm heated pad. But it’s too quiet. I can’t relax with all this quiet, can I?

No, I can’t. I know what the problem is. I just have to find it. Looking, looking . . .

. . . looking, ah-HA! Found it. That’s why it’s so quiet. My usual warm pad partner is over there. Hey, wonderfully warm pad partner! Why aren’t we sharing the warm pad this very minute? There’s sunshine over there.

Oh. Nevermind. Don’t mind me.

Nothing’s on my head. Now I can relax.
