Hey, it’s me, your roving reporter Olivia, telling all and telling tall and small. This month’s been a doozy for barfs. Why, it looked like so much fun, even I had to join in a time or two. Mom says it’s our usual seasonal change barf-o-rama time, when temperatures vary wildly from day to night and bugs find their way inside, only to be pounced upon by one or more of us. I’m not going to admit my sister Pia is an excellent bug hunter but just between you and me, I think half her substantial body weight is from eating bugs.

Mom: Olivia, that’s not true at all! You’re making it sound like we’re neck deep in bugs around here. Not true at all.

Did someone mention a bug? I snacked on a couple of ants the other day. Mmm, tasty!

Mom: All right, you two. We do not have bugs. End of story.

Au contraire! But let me continue my report while Mom and Pia go look for bugs. There I was, napping, purring the gentlest of purrs of one content kitty, when, suddenly, my brother Quint needed a face wash. You all know how messy he is. And I said, “Brother, you need a face wash.” And he said, “Well, you know how messy I am.”

And then, some time later, . . .

. . . Mom came back from her bug safari and with camera in hand, naturally, she took my photo with Quint fur on my face. I mean, really now, was that necessary?

Mom: Olivia, that fur could have just as easily come from Floppy Cat as it could have come from Quint. Are you blaming Quint for shedding on you?

And that’s the problem with Moms, boys and girls. They ALWAYS have some kind of photographic evidence. Well, Mom, hate to break it to you but Floppy doesn’t shed because Floppy’s not real. Like to see you get evidence otherwise.

As I was getting to another report, before someone tried to correct me, my grouchy pants sister Tessa was grouchy all month. Okay, so no real news there, I guess.

Am not! Don’t make me come over there.

The only one who didn’t get into any trouble all month was the Squirt Viola which, frankly, amazes me since that peanut seems to get into everything, just like sister Tessa!

That’s about it for the time being. I’m sure more trouble will make itself known next month, with all the guilty parties participating as usual. Time for this reporter to grab a quick, well deserved nap!

04/20/2020 – Staying Home

Mom knows this isn’t a flattering photo of me because I made good and sure she knew it. But the thing is, I don’t even care. You see, my Dad’s been working from home for a few weeks now and while I do love my Dad, I love my naps more. Do you know how many naps I’ve missed since he’s been working from home? Let me share my nap-less tally:

Missed naps on all Mondays going back almost before time began: 22.

Missed naps on all Tuesdays since almost forever: 18.

Missed naps on all Wednesdays, or maybe it’s all Thursdays; been so long its hard to remember: 14.

Missed naps on the other day that might be Thursday but might be Wednesday: 14-ish.

Missed naps on all Fridays, Saturdays, AND Sundays combined: 58.

So you see, friends, I figure I’ve missed . . . let’s see, 22 x 4 plus 18 over 12, carry the 6, multiplied by 243, divide by 0, add 5 times 1 equals . . . A WHOLE LOT of missed naps!! Frankly stated, I think my beauty sleep’s been compromised. I’m becoming a tired-looking orange cat instead of the Ginger Princess I really am! Quick! Someone get me some tasty treats and a pillow and get my Dad back to his job anywhere but here at home!
