30 November 2016 - Not exactly a cat in a hat, but this closet drawer is a much better fit, with good elevation... a feature that is important to us felines.  Often when my peeps vacate the premises and I am left by myself, I try to finagle one of these drawers for my repose.  With only one entry/exit and no way to observe the outdoors, it isn't a very good guard post.  However, since I don't really want to be disturbed by a trespasser (that might require some action on my part), I opt for ignorance.  It is a popular choice.

29 November 2016 - I am in full "what was that?" mode.  If my front paw was raised, I could pass for the pointer variety of dim deeps (not that I would ever aspire to be one).  With these warm temperatures I can't decide if I'd rather be inside or outside... and the shorter peep is probably wishing that I would make up my mind, as I have called on her to assist my frequent exits.  My nose won't let me rest:  with a source of water in our yard, all sorts of wildlife are sneaking a drink, and leaving their scented trails for me to track.

28 November 2016 - The pale peep, that third member of a crowd, is still with us.  She has made kindly overtures of friendship toward me, so I am no longer exiting the room when she enters.  I have, in fact, sniffed out her sleeping space, and can detect no evidence of a little dim deep hiding in a shoulder bag or a massive tabby too heavy to stir itself downstairs.  She appears to have arrived here "alone".  I have joined her and the shorter peep for morning meals, and she is respectful of my dish.  True, she has stayed beyond three days, but I am not offended by the smell of fish.

27 November 2016 - I empathize with the little peeps this time of year:  I don't like to wait either.  But I certainly find myself doing that very thing… a lot.  My peeps and I are very compatible, but our sense of urgency could not be further apart.  My needs are very modest, and I ask for very little… so why is it so difficult for them to "snap to it"?  And what can I do about their slackness?  My paws are tied, and that they realize this fact partially explains their snail's pace.  To manage all the frustrations I self-medicate with sleep.

26 November 2016 - I will leave the worrying, in regards our lack of rainfall, to my peeps.  I know that their petitions for precipitation will ricochet into the deaf ear of our universe, so I shall conserve my breath.  Besides I have no issue with our dry, moderate weather.  What isn't to like, when in late November, less than a month away from St. Nick's appearance (although his impersonators are already out there shilling for consumerism), one can loll outside in perfect comfort.  Dust brushes off much easier than mud or, shudder, ice, and I am a stickler when it comes to personal grooming.

25 November 2016 - Aaah, leftovers!  The day after is almost as good as the first serving, and not nearly as much preparation required.  My diet and that of my peeps are, with the exception of dairy products and eggs, mutually exclusive.  For years my "something extra" was yogurt... and then I developed a sensitivity to it.  That was a sad day, to no longer have that special treat offered.  But occasionally the taller peep will share his plate with me, not that there is much left when he passes it over.  And I am very excited over a new addition to my meals, something brand new and delish and hopefully gentle on my digestive track.  I would hate to be disappointed again.

24 November 2016 - Evidently peeps who spend today alone, and would rather not, find these food-centric holidays depressing.  They should emulate us felines, who find it off-putting to be in a crowd, i.e., more than two.  So when my peeps disappeared this afternoon, I was delighted to have the house to myself.  My food bowl was not empty, I could hop on the kitchen counter (since what no one sees didn't technically happen), and I snoozed to my heart's content.  I have much to be thankful for.
