What if kitties could really use cat’s fur to make kitten britches? Or pillows?
Okay, okay, I know that most anthros (I have learned that anthro comes from another word but it’s too long so…) think that kitties and doggies just lie there staring into space (or drooling with tongue lolling in a doggie’s case) without a thought in their little pea brains, but I’m telling you now to leave that assumption alone. It just so happens that I, Loulou, ponder the pain and joy of the world, the problems and procratinations of empires, and the possible and probable solutions to what seem like areas of impasse for our illustrious planet.
For example:
What if every young girl kidnapped by the terrorist group, Boko Harum, had a black belt in karate?
What if genetically modified foods were actually totally harmless and could alleviate world hunger by huge percentages, eliminating malnutrition in millions of adults and children and allowing them to have healthy lives?
What if kitties and doggies really could speak and said lots of things the owners really did not like-—Why am I on a leash and you on a power trip? Whaddya mean, no cat food in the house—you are really a terrible mama! Whaddya mean, no dog food in the house? Okay, okay, I’ll eat your new Jimmy Choos instead. Frankly, I have better things to do than to herd sheep all day and am going to Truffle Dog School.

Things like that.
What if everyone agreed that when a spat breaks out, one of the two parties goes out the door and comes back in as if he/she had just been to get groceries or shopping and called out, “Hey, honey, I’m back” and the fight would be forgotten and forgiven?
What if everyone on the planet REALLY became a vegetarian on the same day? I know this is a much-used argument, but what if no animals were killed for food ever again? Could we cope with the sudden excess, chickens flapping everywhere, cows wandering through the streets, sheep with no herders (!) because of dogs’ new vocations? Ponder that.
You know, I could go on forever because I think about these things all the time as I’m appearing to snooze and yet I am aware that the length of a blog is all-important—that is to say, the shortness of a blog, so I’ll get back to you on this one with more Loulou’s What Ifs and we’ll see if you come up with some of your own, and I’ll put them in my blog with your web adddress, okay?
I’m off to What If my way into dreamland…
Of course I’m thinking! What does it look like?
Interesting questions, Loulou. What if we join you in dreamland?
Sounds good. We can share our dreams one day.
