05/06/2019 – The News as told by Viola

I have news today, good news and no, it’s not that I’m still pretty though that ought to be news every day. My news today is that my Dad is somewhere else, not here giving me brushies as usual because he found a job! It’s only a temporary job and for a lot less that he says we need to keep our house, but we’ll be afloat for a while longer.

It’s that word “afloat” that has me worried. Are we floating? Who put us in a pool? Cats don’t like pools, or so I’ve heard. I wasn’t aware I was anywhere in proximity of a pool. Should I be frightened? I think I should be frightened.

I’ll have to have a think on this. Which is more alarming – I may or may not be in a pool, or that my Dad isn’t here brushing me? Here might be the real quandary: Cats have too much time to ponder such things. I think I need a nap.

Shhh . . . I’m napping and waiting for brushies from my Dad.

Just checking those nose wisdom freckles. Yep, still there. Still kissable.

We apologize for not being able to comment on your blogs over the past month. Mr. Colehaus has yet to find a job and we’ve been experiencing network connectivity issues daily (there’s heavy construction going on up the street and everyone’s having the same problem). We hope they finish up soon because no amount of calling to our Internet company seems to be helping (or maybe tomorrow, all will be well again!).

Recently, Mom discovered how to make word search puzzles and maybe you’d like to give one a try. Below are words she used which you can copy and paste into the website and print out your puzzle to solve. Just click the link, click “make your own” at the top of the site and follow the instructions. To print your puzzle, click the Print Puzzle button at the bottom.

Our title was Colehaus Cats and our caption was Do you know the Colehaus Cats? Our minimum and maximum word lengths were 3 and 15, she didn’t include a hidden message and she used these words:

litterbox
catfood
Tessa
Pia
toys
Quint
tower
Olivia
the Dad
Mom
Viola
blog
Colehaus
cats
pets
brushies
combing
petting
visitors
readers
online
angels
patrol sergeant
tabbies
house panther
manx
ginger princess
tuxie
danger cat
painter
vet

Not all words may be included in the puzzle. All other settings she left as is. We hope you have fun with this!

Here’s a 100-piece online jigsaw puzzle of Pia and her nose freckles from above. Mom is out of practice and is sure your time putting this together will be much better than hers!

Yeah, Quint pretty much gets along with everyone. (Pia might take issue with this. That’s another story for another time.)

Danger Cat/Baby Lovebug Tessa and Quint get along most of the time. These two used to wrestle hard, and in fact, Tessa taught Quint how to stand up for himself. Nowadays, Tessa is mellowing, like a fine cheese (a Tuxie cheese?), and isn’t too keen on tussling with long-legged and long-reaching Quint. But napping together? Sure, why not?

Who will probably never nap together, or have a friendly tussle, would be Viola and Tessa. Nope. Not friends in the least, as you can probably tell from the look on Tessa’s face. She’s probably thinking right this minute, “Mom, if you weren’t here . . . *POW!*”
