Angus Mhor: “Was the alliteration part of the meme?”.
This referred to our alliterative 6 word memoirs, which each of us’s started with a same letter. No, that wasn’t reequired, Angus, but we wanted to try it. Skeeter managed it, an Ayla found a letter ta use from her name. LC couldn’t find words that fit. So she got annoyed an said “well, poo on ya both, an the “P” worked… Admitally, we all did have some help from The Big Thing when we ran outta words. He seems ta hav a book that lists every single word efer made! Who knew?
Camies Kittens: “LC, do you always sleep by yourself, or does Skeeter ever join you? We get the impression that Skeeter is the most comfortable sharing space with everyone.”
They were askin about the pictures of our favrit sleepin spots. Aktally, Skeeter and LC sleep tagether sometimes. They used ta often, an still do sometimes. They mostly do mutual head grooming these days and eat nearest each other. Neither Skeeter nor LC have allowed Ayla to really curl up wif them yet, but Skeeter accepts much closer nappin wif Ayla than LC does. Skeeter is a very laid-back cat. An Ayla hasn’t figured out yet that she needs ta groom first ta get groomed. It takes time. Ayla has recently started ta lick The Big Thing’s sparse fur, an he strokes her head when she does that ta try and make a thought in her mind.
Scobby, Shaggy, and Scout: “We were just catching up on some of your recent posts and wow! we want to visit your food cupboard!!!”
OK, its not really a question, but we thought we should comment. Our shelf inna pantry is perzactly 7 cans wide (The Big Thing uses it as a calendar), 8 cans tall an 3 cans deep. So that means a WHOLE case of one flavor will fit in one row deep and we get ta have seven flavors wide. That means (counting on all our collective toesies an ears and such, um, 24 weeks of dinners. That’s a LONG time! An we haf efen more than that of Fancy Feast fer our breakfasts! That’s kep inna difernt place, but we love ta stare at that, too.
Angus Mhor: “Isn't it kinda funny that it says "Ocean Whitefish" on the label but contains Turkey? Why don't they just put "Ocean Whitefish and Turkey" on the label?”
We agree its weerd! Sometimes Purina does (like wif “Salmon&Beef”) an sometime they don’t. The Big Thing says it is a “marketing decision”. As he ‘splains that ta us, it is their best guess at how ta trick ya ta buy their stuff. That aktally makes some sense. We haf tried a few foods that had SO MUCH different stuff in them, we couldn’t figure out what we was eatin. An we didn’t like those much…
Gandalf&Grayson: “Can Mom have some Necco wafers, please?”
Send us an address… An we’ll fit a toy inta the box fer you guys… Mebbe some treats, too. ;)
Goldenshade: “The beans are supposed to be growing those green things OUTSIDE not inside!”
Yeah, not a question, but we oughtta ‘splain. The stuff The Big Thing was growin was “mesclun”. Little salady things that cost a bunch ta buy. His problem is that he cant tell them from weeds outside, so he hasta grow them inside so he knows what grows is OK ta eat. Cant he jus sniff them and tell?
William : “Holy moly, 5" of rain!! Maybe the visitors brought it?”
Yes they did! They dragded it up all the way from Florida with them (they admit that), it stayed here wif them, an it left when they did! 10 whole days later, we are only know feeling dry dirt unner our paws when we walk aroun the yard! We are callin them The Rain Beins from now on.
Lux: “I hope your visitors turn out to be really nice beans, with arms full of treats.”
They nefer bring treats. And then they complain that we nefer come aroun them. Duh… An we arent allowed in their bedroom (while they are here), they gripe about ours furs efrywhere, an they walk heavy wifout looking ta see if we are inna way!
Radcliff, Allie, Luna, & Ozzie: “At least Ayla's mancat boyfriend is good looking and seems polite. Any idea where he lives?”
This refers to when Ayla-the-spayed-cat was in heat again earlier this month. We haf never seen the black kitty before or since, so he was obviosly innerested in ONLY ONE THING. (Ahem)… Unlike the coupla housekitties who come inna yard fer our mousies an nip OR the polite kitty across the street who is outside alla day but DOESNT invade our back yard (an we would LIKE ta meet).
