HOLLY’S CAT LETTER

EPISODE 59–05/21/2024

🐈‍⬛ Hi everyone. This is Oliver. Holly is the slacker today and is off napping in the dining room, so I thought I’d be sneaky and take this opportunity to write a little bit—about ME! After all, I am called an opportunist by Ma and Pa. Please bear with me as I don’t have the spelling and vocabulary skills like my “older” sister. 

🐈‍⬛ Never ever leave even one bread crumb on the counter because I’ll be sure and find it. Don’t even think of turning away from your plate of food even for one nano second because I’ll be right there stealing a bite—or two. If the tiniest of tiny morsel of food falls to the floor, I’ll hear it and use my stealth hunting skills to find it. I admit I’m a klutz but when it comes to hunting, I am as cunning as a fox. For Pa has designated me as the “Mighty Hunter”. 

🐈‍⬛ If you see a lumpy blanket please do not sit on it. I love to burrow under anything and you could end up squishing me. That would be a tragedy. 

🐈‍⬛ One of the things that annoy both Ma and Pa is my innate ability to sometimes (not always) yowl for food way before it’s feeding time. This can really put Ma over the edge because of her sense of hearing high decibels.

🐈‍⬛ I just want to clear the air. Holly the naysayer gives me a bad rap. Yeah, I know I can be very annoying and give her a rough time—even though I’m neutered I’m still all boy—BUT you have to understand MY point of view—she is completely full of tortitude! Sometimes I just want to give her ears a good cleaning or give her a bath in places she can’t reach, but then she starts in throwing a hissy fit and squalls at the top of her lungs! Ma rushes into the room thinking I’m trying to kill her! Good grief! 

🐈‍⬛ I also want to toot my own horn here for a wee bit. My first and foremost job is to be cute—that’s it. All I have to do is bat my big green eyes and I get my way. No matter what my sister says, I’m a very sweet and affectionate kitty. I love to head bunt Ma and Pa and be near them. I adore being petted, massaged and enjoy a good combing. Even though I’m not as needy as my sister, I still love to cuddle up close to them. Ma calls me a good boy all the time. 

🐈‍⬛ No matter WHAT Holly says, I think I do my share of patrolling around the house and am on the ball and watch out for vile beasts lurking in the yard. She’s off napping somewhere when I’m looking under the furniture and in every little crack and crevice. I do not have to report back to her but I do out of common courtesy. One must respect your elders. 

🐈‍⬛ Well I’d better go before she wakes up and catches me—errr I mean I need to bask in a sunbeam. Enjoy this lovely day! Until next time…love, Oliver
