8 October 2013 - I don't believe that "sentry" is in my job description, but I willingly offer my services.  The truth is that my eyesight and hearing and sense of smell run rings around those of my peeps, so for everyone's well-being, including my own, I stand guard.  I don't boast the beefiness of the typical bouncer, but if necessary I can be quite intimidating.  Seldom is it necessary to curve my back, stand my fur on end, and screech like a banshee, but I assure you the result is quite effective,  So be careful when creepin' round my back stairs.

7 October 2013 - Glamour shots are easy to spot, overly made-up faces, over-the-top attire, exotic backdrops (often fake).  But with moi, what you see is what you get: no fussing necessary for me to look great.  I don't deserve the blame or the credit, as my photogenicity is largely due to genetics and diet.  The only role that I fill is maintaining good hygiene, which we cats are reknown for.  But I have seen what is out there, so I am very grateful for my cheekbones and glossy coat.  Why shouldn't I strut?

5 October 2013 - I had an unsettling dream last night.  I found myself in a quasi-familiar place, looking out over an expanse of cold water.  The green of the leaves was so sharp, I had to squint.  There was a metal structure in a tree, creaking in the wind, but otherwise there was no movement, no sign of life.  I could feel my muscles knot in contraction, my ears alert for voices or footsteps, anxious for any indication that my peeps were nearby.  How did we get separated?  Were they lost or hurt?  I was very relieved when I was snatched out of this scene by a snore.

4 October 2013 - When I was a wee lad, I  tried to walk through mirrors, not that I had heard, at that time, of a peep named Alice.  But there seemed to be another world beyond that surface, and I am intrinsically curious, as you know.  I was convinced there was some way to get over there, and I would explore the surface high and low, meowing at the face before me.  Now I realize that it is just a mirage, a visual echo, and a handy means to see around a corner and behind your back.  It is also a way to stare into your own eyes,  and bask in admiration:  "Damn, I am handsome."

3 October 2013 - If you want to roll my eyes back in my skull, just scratch my head.  There is nothing, not even catnip (overrated, IMO), that pleases moi more than fingers run through my fur, around my ears, under my chin...simply heavenly.  I'm not exactly certain what endorphins are, but I do like the euphoria that results.  When my nine lives are done, don't promise me a heavenly choir:  my conception of paradise is my own personal masseuse, Eternity would be a drag otherwise.

2 October 2013 - I don't know where the notion originated, but answers are often sought in high places.:  not among the upper crust or the powerful, but rather from recluses that live in physically remote spots.  Is it the arduous journey to find these individuals that endows their opinions with wisdom?  Is it their decision to live apart from the world, that we admire?  Come up and see me sometime, and we'll try to figure it out.

1 October 2013 - Which would you rather be, family or guest?  Sometimes I spend time in the seldom-used upstairs bedroom.  Possession is very close to ownership, so there is precedent for my claiming this space as my own.  The privileges of guest are not shabby, peace and quiet being very high on that list.  But I am quite fond of my peeps, so I honestly prefer the messier arrangement of family.  My presence seems to keep them on a more even keel;  another way to phrase that is to say they need my calming influence.  And when I require  a bit of distance, I can always retreat to the guest quarters.
