Do I look tired? Do I look annoyed? Do I look messy? The answer is yes to all three and none of those things can be blamed on me. First of all, I’m tired ‘cuz I’ve had to take care of Mom lately and also watch out for my little brother and make sure he doesn’t get into trouble. I’m annoyed ‘cuz I don’t want all that responsibility. I’m messy ‘cuz that blob of light yellow by my cheek is actually part of a dried leaf. Steinbeck loves to “prune” the plants and then he scatters dead leaves on the floor. If I happen to roll in them, they stick to my gorgeous furs!!!
Hey Hemingway………….whatcha’ doin’ now???? Is Mom better yet? She told me that she caught a bug and it made her sick. I catch bugs and I just play with them but they don’t make me sick. Mom’s kind of crazy. Why was she playing with the bug? What did the bug do to her? How come she didn’t let me play with the bug? Hemingway……….is it time to eat yet???
See what I mean? No peace and quiet for me!!! Actually, Mom did catch a bug and she was pretty sick for a few days. She had to go to the “human vet” and get some medicine and now she’s feeling fine. She told me that since she’s o*l*d, it takes her longer to snap back. She was pretty tired for many days but we both tried our best to take care of her.
Hemingway……….have you seen my favorite toy?
Can I come stay with one of you for a couple of days? I really need a vacation!!! Sigh…..

Hemmingway, you are such a good and responsible boy, taking care of everyone. I think you deserve a nice vacation, or at least some really special treats!
Hey Mom……….she said I deserve treats!!! 🙂
MOL That would be so funny to send Shoko to look after Steinbeck and you and I could relax Hemingway.
Kitty Kisses,

Kali, that sounds awesome!

Bugs are terrifying. Mom killed a spider today. She acted like she killed a space ship full of aliens. Once I ate a butterfly.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, that’s so funny!!! MOL!!!
I hope your Mom feels better soon.
Mom says to tell you thanks and that she’s feeling much better now!
If you came here, I don’t think you’d get much more rest between Binga messing with you and Boodie loudly playing with her toys!
Summer, it sounds like you need a vacation, too! 🙂
Nice to hear your mom is feeling better. Hemingway, you are welcome to have a vacation here, I am an adult and understand the meaning of long, deep naps.
Kosmo,
a cat in faraway Finland.
Kosmo, you are so awesome!!!
Sorry to learn you were under the weather, Pam, and happy you are now well.
Thanks, Donna. We took great care of her!

I’d invite you over here, Hemingway, but then we both would have to deal with Ernie. ~Wally
It’s hard enough dealing with Steinbeck. MOL!!!
Hope your Mom’s bug goes away soon! Now that “bug” that is bugging you…..
