A Cat in the Hat?

I know it is a famous title for a book series, but seriously a cat in the hat?  Come on!  Now if it was  cat in the box, I'd be quick to read the adventures of that cat and its box!


Was it a big box?  A small one?  Was the box used to hide a gift or did it bring a new appliance for the kitchen?  Oh that box, the story it could tell.


I could sleep in that box and catch the odor of fumes from the back of the delivery truck that brought it to our home.  As I close my eyes, I can imagine the little mice running around the outside of it, in some back room in a full warehouse.


Oh yes, I would read every book in the Cat in the Box series.

I'm Waiting

I'm waiting!  That's right I'm waiting.  I'm so excited to show my mum what I've been up to.  Soon she'll walk through that door, walk upstairs, and I'll surprise her by singing Happy Birthday. Though at times, I think dad was losing patience with me.  I mean it's quite easy to confuse the words Happy Birthday with Happy Furday! Either way it's her birthday and I'll sing it the way these humans do it.  But if it was up to me, I'd be shouting from the roof tops, Happy Furday Mummy!!! All I can say is Purr, thank you Mum for loving me. Thank you for the food you bring, and for my squeaky things. Thank you for your friendly talks, and when you change my litter box. Thank you for the naps we share, and putting up with all the hair. Thank you for the things you do, Thank you Momma, I love you.

 Throughout human history, there is a certain sense of royalty when they see a Siamese Cat.  They're nothing special.   I can give that sense of superiority and mystery and pass myself off as a Siamese Cat.   This is my Siamese look, but it always has that look of bewilderment.  Like, when dad grabs a comb!  Why in God's green earth would dad ever need a comb?  It's always my look of sarcasm.  Like when mum wants to clip my toe nails.  Go ahead, just one step closer and I'm out of here. It's also my look of innocence!  I use it when there is a strange smell in the air and I look at dad and say God dad!  Then walk away, knowing full well I am the reason for that smell!!!
