Things I can live without

space cadets who don’t watch where they’re going and end up stepping on the hind legs of sleeping felines
rabies shots
custom-made antlers/Santa caps forced upon felines for greeting card photo purposes
angst about The English Department
hair dryers
sniffy kisses (a.k.a. granny kissing = sniffing)

 

Things to do in the snow

Not much, really. But fun to remember as summer kicks in.

Satisfying substitutes to keep things cool: sleeping in the bathroom, dipping paws in cold water, sleeping under the bed, drinking from a dripping faucet, sleeping.

 

Things to do in the sun

 

Doze belly up and wait for birds.

 

Watch with much interest as people board the neighborhood bus.

 

Cool paws and forehead against the window pane.

 

Groom.

Yawn at girl attempting to make conversation.

 

Rest weary soul. Dream.

For tomorrow may rain, so.
