I’m not really mysterious, though Mom thinks so. You see, I used to be aloof. I liked being aloof (because the world needs more loofs, I guess), but then, one day not so long ago, I discovered I could get all the petting and brushies I wanted if I just stuck around instead of running off to do my own thing (being aloof, apparently).
Now, I hang out with anyone sitting down and I get extra, extra attention. And I can say, with the utmost confidence, attention is GOOD! I don’t know why it took me so long to understand that. I guess, it’s a mystery. Hey! I am mysterious!
Hi-ho! Today, I’m relaxing. I work very, very hard at relaxing at least 10/10ths of every day. Doesn’t matter if someone else is grumbling or trying to snuggle with me, it’s all about relaxing. Dad says I could give good lessons on how to relax. And if I had time from all my relaxing, I might think more deeply about that. But it’d cut into my relaxing time. Ya gotta pick your battles.
When I’m not relaxing, not at that exact moment, that is, I do other things. Someone left the soft brush here, probably because they were trying to brush my floofy sister Pia, who hates brushings of any kind, so I took it upon myself to learn how to brush myself. It’s true, I can do this!
I’m sure my current best friend Floppy Cat would agree with me about the soft brushy, and on relaxing; he’s very relaxed and quiet, a great role model. Somedays, we have long conversations, the extra quiet kind, on all kinds of things – relaxing, napping, self-grooming, snuggling. You know, all the really important stuff.
That’s pretty much all for today. The autumn sun is pretty bright so it’s time for me to snuggle under the covers on this freshly washed, fleecy, autumn blanket. Here’s a secret: I was waiting all morning for this very blanket to be washed, dried and spread out. Not that I didn’t want to share my day with you while I was waiting, oh no. I liked you being here, learning what I do, listening to my song. It’s just . . . this is the first fleecy blanket of the season, and it’s so soft and warm. And I’m sharing it with you! Nighty- night!
