Here’s Mr. MewMew in his favorite habitat, sitting outside on a warm day on cool cement while coated in dried chicken catnip treat dust and giving all other visiting cats the mean-eye stare. “Do NOT even THINK of honing in on MY catnip dust!”

He’s very serious about this.

Mr. G insists someone come into the backyard to give him attention. Sorry, sweetie. We’ve got jobs today.

As our kitties get older (Tessa, Pia, and Quint are almost twelve years old, Viola will be eleven in October), it’s getting harder to photograph any of them together for a Multi-Cat Monday blog post.

Oh, sure. Tessa and Quint sometimes snuggle but not often. Pia never snuggles with anyone, and double ditto for Viola.

Viola says, “So what? I don’t want to share a photo with anyone. I’m independent!”

Sorry, Viola. We couldn’t resist trying. And doesn’t Pia look enthused?

06/07/2024 – Deep Thoughts with Viola

The other day, Dad asked me how I got to be so independent and as I shifted away to the other far chair, I thought, “Me? Independent?”

Am I independent? I’ve always been this way. What’s not being independent? My mama raised me to be my own cat, to do my own cat things. Is that being independent? I sleep downstairs when everyone else is upstairs. I eat overnight when everyone else eats during the day. Mom says I’m a mystery pooper because no one catches me doing my business. Is all that being independent, or am I just being a cat? I am a cat, right? Please don’t tell me after all this time I’m something other than a cat.

Okay, whew! I can see that I’m a cat. One question answered.

Where’s Mr. G today?

He’s hiding better today.
