You can say that again.
I should know—I’ve been left here at home for way too long and even though there is no place like it, it’s pretty weird without my mama and papa to snuggle and cuddle me and let me sleep on top of them all stretched out to my full, magnificent length as they scratch me under the chin and around my darling little ears.
Maybe mama couldn’t find any ruby slippers to click together to get her back to where she belongs. I know for sure that papa has a heart, a brain, and courage so he’s not in the same pickle, plus those little sparkly paw covers supposedly only fit a female.
Uh, oh, the phone is ringing and there’s no one here to pick up. I’d do it myself except at this hour of the afternoon it is always someone trying to sell something and frankly, I don’t have the patience for it.
OH, IT’S MAMA ON THE PHONE!!! What on earth is she saying? All I hear is “Loulou, blah, blah, blah, Loulou, blah, blah, blah” and I think there is some kitchie, kitchie coo kind of stuff in there, too that makes me feel she may have just found those magic shoes and will be here soon! Oh, boy, are they in for a surprise.
One of mama’s friends sent her a video of a kitty who could jump through hoops and stand with all fours in a coffee can and roll over and over and over (I saw the food in the trainer’s hand that made her do that each time, hah! some trick…) and run up seesaws and run down the other side but I did NOT see that kitty making crispy shrimp tacos to welcome home HER anthro! No, sir.
Well, that’s what I did. And just to be really nice about being abandoned for so long, I rolled some catfish in cornmeal and fried that up, too. I got the recipe from that no-good Shitsu in Texas.
Eat your heart out, little tricky kitty on that video. I’ll bet your anthro didn’t teach you to COOK!
Have to go—the tartar sauce isn’t made yet…
(I know there are some green onions around here somewhere…)
Hi Loulou,
Wow! You are so lucky that your mama & papa are back home now. I am beginning to get anxious because I hear talk about their journey to visit friends soon far, far away, like you and your parents! I wish that I could come but I don’t think that I would like the plane ride and all of the noise. I hate loud noises so I am so fortunate to live in a quiet & beautiful place. Do you have any ideas about how I will stay cool & calm while poppy & mum are gone? They leave the radio on a timer so NPR & classical music fill the air. My Auntie Chary comes to visit me every day and she is wonderful.
We play together and then I sit on her lap and purr while she strokes me in just the right places. She feeds me the most yummy food & treats too. Perhaps we can connect with Facetime! I just know that I am going to miss my mum & poppy so much. Any suggestions will sing into my cute little folded ears.
Your pal,
Binky
Binky, I think that you are set up just dandy. I had a sitter, but I think she was too worried that I was unhappy about you know who and I gained 300 grams while THEY were gone so now mama has me on a diet again and hopes to get me to the point that I can receive guests without a waddle.
Actually I don’t waddle but….
Well, Binky, those treats help, but what I like best is the catnip toys mama leaves for me all over the place. I attack those things as if there is no tomorrow!!! Catnip helps a lot when your mummy and daddy go away.
I think….
Maybe they’ll bring one back for you!!!!
