We’d hoped to get Quint to sit with last Wednesday’s Welcome October banana post but he just wasn’t having anything to do with those things. As we recall, Viola wasn’t terribly enthused with them either.

And in the off chance you think Quint is the perfect cat and never finds trouble, here’s proof that he’s just as tempted by the forbidden buffet table top as that one cat who’s more on it than not.

See what I have to put up with, Mom?

Yes, we see, Viola. Thank you for not glaring back at that sister of yours. Tessa, could you just try not to look at your little sister with such disdain for once?

Don’t worry, Viola. We’ll get that favorite milk jug ring out from under the cabinet where, undoubtedly, its joined its many siblings all of whom were batted under there as well.

Happy almost 12th Birthday, Viola and all Niblets near and far. Tomorrow, you’ll be 12 years old and we hope you’ve continued to be the best cats you can be. Your angel mama Zuzu is proud of you as are we. Your foster Mom and Dad are sending you all a million kisses. Happy 12th birthday, Niblets!

10/01/2025 – Hello October!

Hello October! We’re happy to welcome you along.

“Uh, this really isn’t a fall-appropriate prop, Mom.”

Sorry, sweetie. It was the only thing I had.

“This is a banana. So, no fall fruit or a squash or anything fall-like?”

Can’t photograph what I don’t have. I suppose maybe I could have dug out some fake fall flowers or something . . .

“Maybe? You think?”

Okay, okay. Maybe a banana was a poor choice. I don’t know, maybe bananas are fall-appropriate in some countries. Mistake noted. Let’s continue with the welcome wagon to October, okay?

“silence”

October, we’re happy to see you! We hope you bring cooler weather and rain sooner rather than later. We’d really like rain on the last week of the month, please. Every day if possible. September, thank you for being cooler than most previous Septembers, and for bringing a touch of warm summer rain here and there. Most appreciated! Say, let’s meet and do that again next year, okay?

In the good news column, Dad’s new mattress will arrive today and shortly, will be ready for all October cooler weather cats!
