True to Form

Chapter 2:

True to Form

When the lady ran out to do errands, the boys and I hung out in the guest room. I watched them play among her silly human things and we had a few laughs. Afterwards, I got the primo real estate in the middle of the bed, while I made Leon and Larry stay on the floor.

When she came back, the lady found me sprawled there like a queen. I thought she would be a little taken aback, but she was so happy to see me that she scratched me behind the ears.

True to form, Leon leapt onto the bed and into the
limelight. I’m beginning to think the kid doesn’t know any better.

I must say though, that I was impressed with Larry, who stayed on the floor minding his own business.

Unlike Leon, the lady actually had to go looking for Larry, who was almost under the bed. Of course, when she found him, Leon had to get in on the action.

Leon! Pesky, infuriating, and ubiquitous Leon.

But don't worry folks. I will live long enough to suffer yet another day!

A Tale of Three Kitties

Dear Mom and Dad,

Since I am the big sister and the most educated one of this clowder, I thought it would be best for me to keep you informed about our time with the lady. Perhaps a novella would be a good way to communicate.

I do hope that you find it informative, as my intention is to state my case as clearly as possible.

Love, 

Your favorite, Missy

Chapter 1: Annoying

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. And by worst, I mean as annoying as two little brothers can be.

When the lady came to take care of me earlier this year, I did not have to share her attention with the likes of Leon and Larry. Sigh. Big Sigh!

Take, for example, this morning: The lady immediately picked up my brush when I appeared at her feet. And I was luxuriating in a wonderfully scratchy caress, when Leon pranced over and snatched my moment! He always has to be the center of attention!

I hissed at him, which did nothing to deter him, so I smacked him on the top of the head. The lady gasped with horror, but she needn't have worried.

Leon stood his ground.  I think his head is made of rocks.
