Dear Reader,
There's a cat in my hat. There's a cat in my bed. There's a cat on my desk and there's a cat hiding out--somewhere in my house. I've been looking for her for the past hour. My son and daughter-in-law are on vacation and my husband and I are babysitting their two cats, Frank and Chloee. We have two cats of our own, so I'm now living in a cat house.
"Kitty, kitty." Where is that cat?
Chloee, the missing kitty, is a shy girl and one heck of a good hider, I might add. She's definitely won this game of hide and seek.
I give up. "Ollie, Ollie oxen free."
I've searched behind curtains, cupboards, bureaus, and under beds. I've found everything on this kitty scavenger hunt except the cat--two dimes and a quarter, dust bunnies the size of ear muffs under the beds, (I'm moving the beds and vacuuming tonight) a bag of licorice, a couple of dead bugs, and a Christmas present that I bought for our son two years ago.
I know, I know, the cat will turn up eventually--my husband keeps reminding me of that--but now it's the principle of the thing. I should be able to out think a cat.
Where is that cat? "Kitty, kitty."
Cats are not hospitable, at least not mine. My two normally affectionate kitties have rolled up the "Welcome" mat. Between all the hissing and snarling, it's apparent that their take on our house guests is, 'You weren't invited by me, so keep out of my stuff, especially my litter box. Stay off of my favorite chair--don't even think of sleeping there. And I hope you brought your own food because I'm not sharing mine.'
"Kitty, kitty." OK, I've had it, come out right now.
It's gonna be a long two weeks.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
