the golden ruler

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

28 April 2015 - One can't help but feel like royalty lying against this over-sized pillow, but that doesn't necessarily imply that my sleep will be untroubled.  Stress accompanies responsibility, and as alpha cat I must constantly defend my claim.  There is a stray tom...I admit to taking an instant dislike to him...that would love to dethrone me.  The peeps have noticed him as well...it would be impossible to ignore his plaintive braying.  To minimize my anxiety I have ceased to acknowledge his presence, but I know he is out there.

27 April 2015 - It is hard to get excited about a rainy Monday morning, although the sound of the water droplets hitting the roof are very soothing...so much so that there seems little point to stir myself into action.  Although I prefer sunshine, its warmth and upbeat attitude, I do not begrudge the occasional wetness.  Give me verdant surroundings any day.  There must be ecosystems that thrive in desert harshness, but you won't find this cat among the fauna.

26 April 2015 - It definitely isn't the cookie jar (not that I was "caught"), but had I persisted I might have found something edible (probably with a long-past expiration date) amongst the mess.  The drawer was most certainly left open for my entertainment, not that everything has to be about me.  With objects that rolled and rattled, I deduced that it was the peeps' toy box, although they might be a little old for such things.  To really up the fun factor it should have contained a snatch of chicken feathers.

25 April 2015 - A sure spot to observe animals is at the local watering hole.  Mine includes, for convenience, a yellow bowl, seen behind me in this photograph, but the most desirable, I swear it tastes better, is the H2O that comes straight out of the faucet.  I have even been known...very uncatlike of me...to let it stream over my head.  The one snag is that the free-flowing option requires the intervention of a peep, never the most reliable, which is why I must keep an eye peeled for an appearance.

24 April 2015 - We cats don't care for expanses of water, so I am not overly concerned with the approach of swimsuit weather.  However the thought does prompt one to do an assessment of the winter-fed body.  No one can be objective when it comes to his own physique, but I think that I look pretty good for a late-middle-aged specimen.  The rib cage is still wider than the waist...at least from this angle.  I think that I will keep on doing what I am doing:  eighteen hours of snoozing is something of a workout.

23 April 2015 - It is unfortunate that the only home we have is celebrated just once a year.  What we do the other 350+ days has far more bearing on Earth's health.  Today's headlines will no doubt report the number of tons of trash collected in her honor, but why was the garbage there in the first place?  At least we cats dig a hole and bury our waste.  If the dumping ground is not in their backyard, many peeps don't seem to care.  Flinging refuse out a moving vehicle's window seems to be the national sport.  If I were king of the forest, I'd ban styrofoam and slap each dullard with community service...but I am not likely to be elected on that platform.

22 April 2015 - What can I say:  preferring a higher perch is in my genes.   Not that I encounter things, here in our domicile, that are on either side of me on the food chain, but it is nonetheless comforting to stretch out and survey my surroundings from this vantage point.  My nose can still detect the smell of cedar in the air, so my imagination is hardly required to visualize myself up a tree, unnoticed, reconnoitering the forest floor.  Tales have reached me of a prior occupant who rolled off this limb while sleeping...but I am willing to bet, if it's true, that he landed on his feet, startled but otherwise unharmed.
