Back and Forth

Categories Cats, Hemingway and Steinbeck12 Comments on Back and Forth

Back and forth.  Back and forth.  What’s gotten into you, Steinbeck?  Do you have ants in your pants?

ants

In the first place, I don’t wear pants.  In the second place, I sure wouldn’t allow ants in them.  What made you ask such a stupid question?

You keep running around the house like a crazy cat.

I’m using my excess energy to warm up the air.

What?

It’s cold outside and I’m trying to get it as warm as possible in the house.

We have a furnace and a wood-burning stove to keep all of us very warm.  You don’t have to run around using up all your energy to make it warm.  Besides, I like to take naps in the sun puddles.fire

But if you look outside, the sky is gray and there’s no sunshine.  There are no sun puddles around.  Besides, there are a few little white specks floating around in the air.  I guess the angels must be dusting today.  I have to keep running around so nobody gets cold.  When I get tired, then I’ll take a nap.

I’m going to dream about taking a nap in a sun puddle.

Hey Shakespeare!  If you weren’t taking a nap you could watch this visitor with me.  He thinks he’s all alone while he takes a bath in the big sun puddle outside.  I wonder if I should meow…….

Nobody's here so maybe I should take my bath.

Sun Puddle Day

Categories Hemingway20 Comments on Sun Puddle Day

My little brother, Shakespeare, was off in another room taking a nap so I decided to take advantage of all the sun puddles.  They’ve been hiding for a really long time so it was wonderful to see them again.  I grabbed a couple of books and made myself comfortable.

I've got my books handy.

Mom said I looked so nice and toasty warm that she decided to grab her own book and join me.  The two of us sharing a sun puddle.  How cool is that???

When It’s Too Cold………..

Mom couldn’t go to work today ‘cuz it’s too cold outside.

She disturbed our day!

She was running that noisy machine that sucks up stuff.  We both were very careful to stay far away from it.

Then she was running that big machine downstairs that fills up with water.  For some reason she throws her clothes in there…

…..and even our blankets!

Then she puts them in the other noisy machine that makes the clothes go round and round while hot air is blown on them.

So what did we do while she was making all this noise during our normal nap times?

Kitty YogaI practiced some of my new kitty yoga moves.

Sun Puddle NapI took a sun puddle nap and warmed my tummy.

Happy Cat FaceThen I showed Mom my happy face ‘cuz I didn’t have to go outside.
