Over the past few days Cat-Daddy has been very nervous about something. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but I thought it had something do do with me. Sure enough, he sat me down today for a “talk”. Cat-Daddy is nervous because tomorrow morning I’ll need to have “chest x-rays”…whatever those are. I hope they’re like treats. Personally I think Cat-Daddy is worried about nothing. I’ve had treats every day (usually twice or three times a day!) for months, I’ve slept in the cat-pile every night, and we have soft, soft food at least once a week. Best of all, the weather is changing and we’re starting one of my favorite seasons: flaking-by-the-fire season! Below is a picture of me and Pounce de Leon flaking by the fire in the library.

Look how relaxed and cat-like the boy is! It’s a big change from some of his antics. Here’s a picture of Pounce sitting in a most un-catlike pose. Notice his front leg veritably dripping off the stair he’s sitting on. Honestly! In cat circles we call this “leakage”.

Here’s an even worse example of Pounce’s leakage; this time both legs are dripping off the edge of our bench:

Cat-Daddy is looking worried again so I think I’ll go sit on his lap and purr for a few hours. I’ll sign off for now but will give you an update tomorrow and let you know what the “chest x-rays” turn out to be and how they taste.
