HOLLY’S CAT LETTER

EPISODE 38–04/09/2024

🐱 Hi to all my admirers. I hope your day-after-the-eclipse is going well and you’re not experiencing any harmful side effects. It’s a beautiful sunny day. The vile weatherman predicted it was supposed to be cloudy all day with no chance of sunbeams. He was wrong again! There’s sunbeams galore! I could easily do a better job forecasting. 

🐱 On another note, I successfully performed my wake-up call duty this morning by waking Ma up at 6:30 so she could get ready for her doctor’s appointment. I stealthily perched on her pillow and meowed directly into her ear so she’d be sure and hear me. She just made a funny face and rolled over. I had to use drastic measures so I kept yowling and finally she stumbled out of bed and made it to her litter box. 

🐱 I’m happy to report that this time before they left the house Pa gave me my full ration of breakfast. I ate good and then I scampered off and hid under the bed. A girl can’t take any chances—the thought of the vet and that loathsome cat crate looms over my head like a dark cloud. But first things first—I had to hack up a hairball! Such nasty slimy things!

🐱 When Ma and Pa finally got home from her appointment, Ma was her usual frazzled self. Ever since she found this new doctor she gets home and frantically starts researching stuff and making all kinds of scribbles on her note pad. Sometimes she’ll sit there and mutter to herself. I had to sit close beside her so she wouldn’t lose her train of thought. Humans are so weird. 

🐱 Slacker boy has been slacking again—or should I clarify by saying STILL slacking. I repeatedly have the full load of patrolling on my narrow shoulders. He always has an excuse. Either his paw hurts or he’s too exhausted. Today he has to take a bath! 

🐱 I hope you all have a terrific day. Pa has Bible study tonight so I plan on cuddling with Ma and watching a movie. I’ll let Oliver cuddle too if he behaves himself. He’s such a squatter! Don’t eat too much of that yummy banana bread! More about me later…love, Holly
