HOLLY’S CAT LETTER

EPISODE 20–03/16/2024

🐱 Hi to all my admirers—and Happy Caturday! It’s a windy one out there so hunker down if you’re out and about. I’m glad I’m safe inside and don’t have to worry about a colossal gust of wind carrying me off to the next county, as I am only a mere eight pounds. 

🐱 Ma slept a little better last night so no pillows were flying across the bed. I still can’t believe that pillow didn’t poke my eye out the other night. She is sluggish and still drinking her one revolting cup of coffee. I don’t know how she can stand that stuff—it’s definitely not my cup of catnip tea. 

🐱 Yesterday I did nothing all day. Oliver did nothing too but that’s par for him. I lounged around on Ma’s lap and all afternoon Oliver slept in her bed under the covers. At 5:00 p.m. he didn’t bother to come out for feeding time. This is very un-Oliver like. He’s generally howling like a banshee a good hour before it’s time. Ma went in to slowly wake him up from his deep slumber—he was hibernating like a black bear. He groggily came to and staggered into the living room and promptly started yipping for his food. 

🐱 So far this afternoon Oliver and I are a bit more active. He has been making up for time lost yesterday—whooping and running up and down the hallway like he’s some crazed beast on amphetamines. He can be such a rambunctious boy and on the other paw, he can be such a sloth. I’m more of a genteel kitty and try to curb my mania just for special moments. 

🐱 This afternoon I have been preoccupied with patrolling my domain. All kinds of vile things are flying around outside. Stuff is whizzing by so fast it’s bound to give me whiplash trying to keep up. Oliver just gave me a bath so I’m wore out now. So time to catnap in a sunbeam. 

🐱 Enjoy the remainder of the weekend, friends. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day so remember to wear green so you won’t get pinched. I won’t be wearing green but don’t you dare pinch me or I might hiss at you! I’m a lover, not a fighter—unless Oliver is annoying me for too long. More about me later…love, Holly
