  • for me?

    MieeeAy! tongue-burn.

  • link

    A map of cat’s mind.
    Birds should be a bigger section.

  • sitting time

    The man woke early. We sit together. He has 3 legs, his two own and me the third leg. I would get in the way if we were going anywhere, but as is, it’s perfect;y cozy.

  • Sunshine


    What is it? You’re looking at me.


    Oh, the box. You aren’t going to light me are you? Hurry up.


    Time’s up. I’m going back to grooming.


    I just need to get this, last bit. Never can be too clean.

    Key in door –they’re home!!– gallop, scoot, skid

    Just outside the circle of incandescent solar flare I halt, compose self

    Squint
    squint
    blink

    You back so soon?

  • not better second time around

    It’s really a vomit sort of day. I made a trail of it, the toilet a few steps too far away to hit and bury it. Now how do I get past it to go to the bathroom. I know, I’ll eat it back up. For every problem a solution.

  • tip

    Tip: If they dangle something around your ears, do not flick.
    It will be hard but pay no notice. Be stoic.
    Anything else will only encourage mischief.
    Their amusement will be short-lived.
    Probably.

  • breakfast

    What’s that? Morsels in sauce?
    I know just what I’ll do with that.
    First, I’ll lick all the morsels dry and second, I’ll ask for more gravy.

  • double take

    I hopped to the edge of my usual toilet-side observing and was about to turn and see if there was a lick of water in the white thing when I discovered the thing was full and not only that there was a tire in it!

  • hint

    If I sit beside her on her toilet and circle her legs, do you suppose she would think of me and my toilet while she flushes?
