Did you hear Mom talking about some clipsie thing today?
She was talking about the eclipse.
So, what is that? Is it a new cat food? Is it a new catnip plant?
No. It’s something that happened in the sky.
What?
Well, imagine you are looking out the window at a pretty butterfly. Then all of a sudden, I walk in front of you and sit down for a bit.
You always do that!
Yes, well, that’s sort of what the moon did. Today the moon got in front of the sun and blocked its sight so it couldn’t send out those rays of light and make it bright outside.
I thought we saw the moon at night. What’s it doing awake during the day? Is it still clipsing?
No. It happened around the time Mom has her lunch. Maybe since I mentioned lunch you might understand a little ‘cuz teaching you something about the world is next to impossible if it doesn’t involve food or treats. At least we both did what Mom said to do today. She told us not to look at the sun.
We didn’t!
I know…………we were both napping.
Mom…………..this is how I looked during the eclipse thing.
Mom………..this was me dreaming about clipsie catnip. Obviously clipsie things are for sleeping. I wonder if Mom fell asleep at work?????????

So you boys slept through the eclipse, huh? I was running back and forth through the ever darkening house to see it from both the east and the west.
It didn’t involve food so Steinbeck wasn’t interested and when I saw him sleeping……..I got tired, too. 🙂

Napping was a great idea. Mom wouldn’t even let me come on the balcony with her today. Street naps were out! I don’t know why I had to be punished just because the sun and moon got confused…. Humans. Go figure.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, we could talk about humans for hours. They are just so confusing……..and so confused!!!

Napping is more fun than an eclipse.
……….but not more fun than treats and catnip 🙂
The eclipse was not that big a deal where we live – the light changed colors and that was about it.
Summer………we pretty much slept through it. 🙂
Seems as if you two did exactly what all cats did during the eclipse. After all, it happened midday…prime nap time. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
If humans want us to pay attention to those clipsie things, they have to schedule them when we’re not napping.
