Cat Tales

Dear Miss Lilly,

I would say all this to your furry little face but your no where to be found. Not surprising after the apparent full day you had. Thanks for the 'gifts' I found when I got home.

Thank you for leaving your friend, Mouse right by the kitchen table, and on the hard wood too! Made clean up a breeze. Bless. And by the way, nice job on the decapitation. Did you go to trade school for butchering? I don't think you could have made a cleaner cut with a cleaver.

The feathers were a bit confusing. I mean it did still look like a headless mouse and all, and the feathers were the same color. Following fashion this year? It's nice your trying to expand your possibilities. It did take a while to find birdy. Your a clever one, you. The coat closet literally was the last place I thought to look, and so near the vacuum cleaner! Your an angel, love.

Thing is, you know how I feel about you on the counters. This ain't Smocha's place and you know it. Being up there is bad enough, but your absolutely forbidden to bring half dead birdy on your trips to the sink. But then, the counters really did need to be disinfected. I hadn't done them since Sunday so I see your point.

And what is the deal with bring all your little past-due friends home? Do you think Bear gets bored since he's stuck inside while you can come and go as you please? Well worry no more, soon he'll be going to work with me in the mornings.

While were at it, what have you been doing in the organ at night? I mean come on - the thing doesn't play itself. I hear you. Friends in there too?

What I'm really curious about, because you failed to actually consume any of your little friends...What exactly was in the little pile of your stomach contents on the entry way floor anyway?

Keep this up and I'll close the cat door until November.




Well? Go on...read the next one...Shoo!

Oh, Brad, this was hilarious to read even though I'm sure it was not fun to deal with.

The cat must have spring fever or something. Definitely working overtime.

I love Miss Lilly.

Smocha said...

Bwa ha ha ! You're killing me!That was hysterical :)

On a serious note, what does one do with the "friends' when the cat is too stupid to catch them?

I think there are mice in my laundry room. Judging by their uh...leavin's ,they are really tiny mice. But Cavuto does not seem to know or care that they are living it up around his food bowl.
How can I get them to leave on their own? :)

The beginnings of a fine book. I feel as though I KNOW Miss Lilly so well now...and I love that she hangs out in the organ at nighttime making music with her friends.

That's one cool missing cat! :)
