Dear Cat

Dear cats

It's great that all three of you want to cuddle with me now that the weather is turning cooler. But y'all should know by now that all three of you do not fit on my lap together. And Joe, if you try again to push someone off my lap so you can have it, you're getting a time-out.

Love, the heat source

My husband once took a picture of mee in the fall with Tux the maine coon cuddled in my arms with his forehead pressed against my chin, Jason our ginger polydactyl curled up in the crook of my bent knees and Cappy our geriatric ocicat perched on my hip, all of us sound asleed.

It isn't quite cold/cool/ less than steamy hot enough here for the lap fights to start here yet, but in the meantime there is already additional competition from Rowena, the teacup 14 pound corgie with the memory span of a gold fish, who has not yet learned that Tux outweighs her by 4 pounds

good times are coming along with canine feline sibling rivalry.

Dear Frisbee,
I'm not sure what I did to deserve so many cuddles today, but thanks. Don't take this as a go-ahead to break something tomorrow.
Love, the person who wields the orange string toy

Dear Buttons,

I see you have moved up in the world of stealing items from socks and human food to stealing diamond rings. Yes, it's shiny and fits in your mouth but it's NOT yours.

Just be grateful I found it and happen to like you.

BTW, sleeping on my head is not helping your cause.

Dear Murphy,

It's two o'clock in the freakin' morning.

'nuff said

--------------------------

On another note - anybody try calling their house repeatedly during the day to wake up the cat in hopes of getting a full night's sleep? Or am I the only weirdo here? (P.S., obviously, it doesn't work.)

Dear Chloe,
Despite your attempts at teaching me to speak PNW Kitteh, I don't know what you want when you sit on my lap and meow at me with such a plaintive voice. You have food, am petting you, you're purring up a storm, what else do you need

Also, did you pick up a cold at the boarding hotel? I hope you get over the sniffles. Didn't really need the sneeze on the laptop keyboard. One cat with chronic upper respiratory infections is sufficient on the cosmic scheme of things, and that role was filled by Erin (may she be healthy across the Rainbow Bridge).

Dear Henry: would you mind telling me what's wrong? I know that didn't like being left alone for the week, but you're acting stranger than normal. Do you not feel well and, if so, how? The pet sitter's notes don't indicate anything unusual, but given your propensity to contract mystery illnesses, you have me worried.

Signed,

Your anxious mother
