godliness, then cleanliness

Me-ow-my-oh!

1 May 2017 - "Mayday!  Mayday!"  No, not really... I am just filing my nails.  There is nothing more aggravating than catching a claw in the carpet.  We cats also shed our talon sheaths, a task best accomplished by snatching on them with our teeth... probably not the thing one should do in public  But I seldom stray behind our yard, certainly not willingly, so you might catch me in a pedicure, should you visit our domicile:  don't look if it makes you squeamish.

28 April 2017 - I can only stop for a moment:  I am on my rounds, and still have rooms to check.  That we cats are known to sleep a good bit of the day is constantly raised as proof that we are a lazy lot.  Not so!  We are just very efficient in our use of time, so what might take an easily distracted peep an hour to accomplish can be dispatched by us cats in less than half that span.  What we do with the remainder of that hour really is up to us, and not anyone else's business.  Gotta run....

27 April 2017 - Savvy hotel staff know that the way to make guests feel comfortable in their lodging, besides offering a pillow-top bed, is to preserve the illusion of privacy.  That is why I only do a security check when the pale peep has vacated her room.  After a quick walk around the space, nose fully engaged, I am satisfied that all is well.  I quietly exit, no one the wiser.  Granted there may be a few telltale hairs and paw indentations across the bedspread, but like most peeps she doesn't appear overly observant.

26 April 2017 - In this setting I could, without much of a stretch, be called the panther of the jungle.  Evidently the coat color, in the wild, is due to a melanin mutation.  Since my home is in the Americas, the correct designation would be black jaguar (otherwise it would be black leopard).  But my white accents mark me as just a pussy cat, not to be feared, not to be avoided (unless one is unluckily allergic).  Feel free to scratch my head... but don't attempt this maneuver at the zoo.

25 April 2017 - I awoke this morning with anxiety, and the feeling was prescient:  some stranger has parked his truck in our driveway, and is currently tearing away at the back facade.  The pale peep is sleeping through the assault, and my peeps are immersed in their usual morning activities... I don't know how they can ignore the wolf at the door.  Surely they hear the racket and feel the pounding.  What can I do?  Perhaps the most useful recourse is to stick close... in case they need me.  And as much as is catly possible, I will breath comforting purrs.

24 April 2017 - Recent photographs have all been taken on the screened porch.  Why wouldn't anyone wish to be out there, enjoying the warm temperatures, without pesky mosquitoes?  My porch preference has little to do with the arrival of the pale peep:  she and I get along well.  I am convinced that she would share her rations with me if the shorter peep didn't intervene.  And yes, the shorter peep is back amongst us, I am delighted to report.  She and the pale peep appeared together, so I am not certain which one located the trail home.  All is good here at our domicile... I hope that you can say the same.

23 April 2017 - "Art" is defined as an expression, typically in visual form, to be primarily appreciated for its beauty or emotional power.  Although I would never, ever share my "deep and inscrutable singular name", that unassuming three-letter word is very close.  Of course beauty is also said to be in the eye of the beholder, and consequently my favorite artist is Kliban.  Who better captures our form, our essence, our grace?  Honestly, is it any wonder that highly civilized peeps venerate us?
