a visit to yorkie town

Dearest Essie,
It was tremendous to hear from you again!

Glad that you are keeping Ginnia in your care.
Virginia does put too much upon herself.
I remember.
She will need that loving nudge. (and i know you, of all felines, have that loving nudge.. rrf;)

Janie and I took a drive in the car to see her sister.
Her sister isn't anything much like her from what I can tell, but she DOES HAVE DOGS!!!!
>>>that is why i am particularly fond of the place!
Little yorkies everywhere! Her sister raises them to sell to people with warm sweet homes to live in.

They are a peculiar type (these Yorkshire Terriers).

One little guy thought I was going to eat him or something, and gave a GREAT SQUEAK every time I came within a few yards. He had to be just a few months old.
>>>>to think of me that way! BARK! I might be the strong, muscular type, but I'm gentle inside. rrrrf.


You DO think I'm gentle inside, don't you, sweet Es???

To work is human; to relax feline.

Dear Arrow,

I've been watching my human lately.

I think her life is changing.  

She still feeds me and gives me water (if this were not the case, I would be really concerned.  Not concerned for her so much as concerned for me.  What a horrible thing to imagine, going without food!!!  Food is the most important thing in life!!).  

But even though she always answers my "mews" for food in the morning, that morning interaction can be the last I see of her for hours.  She isn't home as much as she was when we first started living in this place.

When she is home, I often see her face doing this thing where her eyebrows push together, making two serious little lines in between them, and her lips become straight and tight. Her face usually does that when she is reading.

Sometimes, when I see that face, I come up to her and put my paw on the page she is reading, because it looks like she needs a friend.

I try to show her that snoring and snoozing and snuggling (and food, of course) are really all that matter in life.  It is what I like to call the "feline perspective."  

Sometimes she gets it.  But for the most part, she insists on living her life in the complicated manner she lives it.  It's all right, though.  It won't stop me from snoozing away blissfully when she is out and about working or going to classes or sitting here staring at those books.

We can't all have the privilege of being cats. ;)
