Did Mom tell you where she went this afternoon?
Weren’t you listening? She said she was going to a baby shower.
I must have been sleeping. What’s a baby shower, anyway? Do they just all get together to watch a dirty baby get a shower? Hey….maybe they did it because it rained today. They could just take the baby outside in the rain shower. Still, I don’t think that would be much fun.
Shakespeare, you’ve got to learn to pay attention. Mom went to a party for our former and current doctor. They’re going to have a baby.

Hey….that’s the doctor man who actually held me and then clipped my nails. I sure told him what I thought about that! I don’t remember the doctor lady. I must have seen her when I was really little.
Yes, you were very young and just as much of a problem!

Our two doctors are going to have a baby? Are they going to have a baby kitten?

Do I have to teach you EVERYTHING???? They’re going to have a baby human. They even told everyone that it’s going to be a little boy.
So who had a shower? Did Mom get wet?
Goofball, when they say it’s a baby shower they mean they are having a party and giving gifts to the mommy-to-be. Don’t you remember how we helped Mom wrap those gifts?
I do vaguely remember helping her with the bag and the crinkly paper.
Here’s a picture of the doctor lady opening one of our gifts and look how happy she is with the little hangers. I wonder if we left any of our fur on the paper or in the bag. I hope Mom let her know those gifts were from us, too.
We did a good job with the gifts, didn’t we? I still don’t understand why they called it a shower. It doesn’t look like anyone got wet.
Shakespeare, take that catnip out of your ears and listen. It was a party with gifts.
You said it was a shower!
I’m going to go take a nap.
Oh you two are so funny! 😀
Thanks! We just work together to figure things out. Of course one of us is much smarter than the other one.
Shakespeare here: I’m the smart one!
Hemingway here: You are sooooooooo blonde.
MOL! But Hemingway you have to admit humans have strange names for some events…

And yet humans claim they can’t understand us!
Humans are very confusing when it comes to such things! Showers, human kittens, etc. I’m surprised their species has managed to avoid becoming extinct.
We think they are surviving by pure luck! 🙂
Don’t feel bad guys…..I never did get that whole “shower” thing either – humans are SO weird!

Thanks for agreeing with us, Sammy! 🙂
Silly kitties. It’s called a shower because they “shower” the guest of honor with gifts.
I love your conversations! It’s really nice that you have each other.
Well, Mom doesn’t always understand us and we don’t understand her so we try to communicate with each other. That doesn’t always work either!
You are both super funny. Whee don’t like getting wet so a shower would not be fun for us.
