Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

27 May 2015 - It's hump day, and the office is quiet...which just means that it is too early for the taller peep.  Occasionally I get to sit on the throne, to feel how "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown".  Frankly I can't tolerate all that responsibility for very long...and the seat isn't that comfortable either.  My idea of governance is "live and let live", which probably is anathema to a die-hard capitalist.  But since I have nothing to sell, not even an idea, I am not looking to make a profit, and I sleep better at night for that very reason.

26 May 2015 - We cats are very spatially aware, probably an instinct honed from aeons of predators and aggravated targets that would attack from above.   Consequently I haven't settled on whether this latest "toy" is friend or foe.  It makes an intriguing noise, like rustling reeds, when it flutters by, and its airy gyrations definitely have captured my attention.  But it could be suckering me up for a punch, so my continued caution is called for.

25 May 2015 - The trick to keeping a smile on the ol' puss is to remember those days when you are sitting on top of the world.  Not every day will warrant that accolade, nor should it, but good times will carry you through the rough patches.  Should you wish to focus on the negative, the "poor me" moments, that is your choice...just remember that you have elected to be unhappy.  As for me, even the summation of nine lives is too short to waste on anything but pools of sunshine.

24 May 2015 - We cats definitely enjoy sitting inside a box, but we are outside-the-box thinkers.  Here I am training the shorter peep (for some reason the taller peep is more resistant to my lessons) to open the back door when I peer into the bedroom window.  The only way this series of steps can be reinforced is by catching her in this part of the house and then getting her attention by hopping onto this cement pillar and rattling the window screen.  The first time this multi-step method occurred to me was quite an aha moment...it might even deserve to be copyrighted.

23 May 2015 - The shorter peep draped this material over the railing just to cushion my perch...she is so thoughtful.  I know that I am not actually sitting atop a flying carpet, but we cats do possess fertile imaginations.  Looking down from this height makes it easy to pretend that I am soaring above the earth.  At this altitude I could bail out, if the magic falters, and survive.  Naturally I would land on four feet:  it is the way of the feline.

22 May 2015 - I was totally unaware of the peeps' plans for me yesterday:  a visit to the vet.  Obviously I survived, but it was no fun.  The ordeal began with being stuffed in a shoulder bag...and my stomach promptly knotted up because I knew the destination.  This time, in addition to having my abdomen groped and my mouth pried open, I was stuck with a needle.  Although the peep in a white coat cooed over me and stroked my head, the rest of my treatment was deliberate cruelty if you ask me.  At times like these I seriously consider running away to the circus.

21 May 2015 - I am not certain why my peeps place my dinner plate four feet off the floor...it isn't because there are other four-footed creatures in the house.  And at that height I am not prevented from eating, and they are very aware of that.  Perhaps they think that I have no self-control and require my bowl to be out of sight so I don't chow down indiscriminately ...but it is the taller peep that I am worried about.  There is some reason I am certain, but without a peep brain or a peep clue I may never know why.  It is a minor annoyance.
