I rish it were so

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories


17 March 2016 - Ah, yes, the day to wear green!  Well, I don't do clothes, so don't expect me to comply.  Actually it seems just an excuse to pinch someone, but remember that I have claws and teeth.  That I stretched out next to a bit of green was not intentional, although fewer and fewer permit coincidence.  Instead we concoct elaborate theories that "show", to the irrational thinker, cause and effect.  Actually I can refute this particular claim:  I would enjoy reprimanding the boor who dares assault my black-and-white outfit.  Besides, drawing a bit of red would complement the green.

sill life

Me-usings and Me-emories


16 March 2016 - Not every day in Florida begins with sunshine, but it is a rare one when the golden orb isn't seen at some point.  The last few mornings I have awakened to fog, not the legendary London sort, but a faint whiteness softening the forest view.  Sounds are also somewhat dampened by the moist air, and the result is rather dream-like.  The taller peep is not an early riser, so he misses out on these altered landscapes.  He would probably reply that he does in fact see the morning...as in the first few hours after midnight.

give me a break

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories


15 March 2016 - Who needs a beach to bask in the sun?  I am certain that I wouldn't care for a day at the seashore:  too many people, too many noisy children, all that water.  Here I have comfort, with shade just a few feet away should I need to cool down, and quiet (if you ignore the beep chatter).  The humidity level remains fairly low, giving a sharp edge to the light that I especially like...and occasionally I open an eye to take it all in.  One of the side benefits to my sunny spot is that I don't need to fear being run over by cars!

sweets for the sweet

Me-ow-my-oh!


Me-usings and Me-emories


14 March 2016 - I overheard my peeps discussing food (I don't think they knew I was listening)...something about pie day.  So far there has been no activity in the kitchen, but it is still mid-morning.  I have taken a position in the dining room, awaiting the outcome.  Since I technically didn't receive an invitation, I need to "accidentally" be present when the dessert course arrives.  Pretty please, with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

do not disturb

Me-ow-my-oh!


Me-usings and Me-emories


13 March 2016 - I am spending more and more of my time on the screened porch.  It is the best of both worlds:  outside but protected from rain and pests.  Well, not all pests, as the squeeps delight in running across the screen...just to aggravate me.  Sometimes I take the bait, and hurry them along, but mostly I glare and try to resume my nap.  Even paradise isn't perfect.

Me-usings and Me-emories


12 March 2016 - Higher is better, and if accompanied by comfy I am definitely there.  You scolds might think that I do not belong here or that I believe myself to be  privileged or that I am coddled.  To these critics I would say, "my private life is not your concern."  My peeps and I have worked out a relationship, agreeable to both sides, which basically allows me to do whatever the shorter peep permits.  As far as I am aware there is no law prohibiting me from perching on a bed pillow... although in this country there has always been those who would like to outlaw pleasure.

just say "no thanks"

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories


11 March 20 - Well, it certainly looks, and feels, like spring has triumphed over winter.  My seasonal shedding is well underway...I hope that I don't regret it.  Early mornings are filled with the sounds of beeps, many of which are just stopping by in route to elsewhere.  I happen to like this particular elsewhere, with its numerous window seats and grand views, so I have no plans to vacate.  Once you have broken in a place, made it comfortable, know its ins and outs, why would you elect to begin anew?  Home is right here.
