So, there we were, reminiscing on kittens and specifically, how kitten-y small some of the current Colehaus Cats were, which led us to look up one Colehaus Cat in particular, an orange ginger one, and we were oooh-ing and awww-ing over this and that:
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.
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.”
. . . 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.
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!
