A Day In The Life Of A Cat

 And now it is time for the perspective of the cat, who must always have the last word in on these things, what with being a supreme being and all.


7:00 AM. Waking up. Taking a big stretch. Slept well. Dreamed of vast fields of catnip.


7:03 AM. A look outside from the back of the couch. Still not dawn. Light enough to see that there's frost on the ground. Getting to be that time of year again.


7:09 AM. Just where is the staff? I've been up nearly ten minutes now and no sign of her.


7:16 AM. If she's not down here in five minutes, I'm sending a search party after her.


7:20 AM. The staff finally comes downstairs. It's about time, staff. I was this close to making arrangements with search and rescue- ie, me- to come fetch you.


7:22 AM. Making my wishes clear as the staff sets to work in the kitchen. Staff, I want it very clear that I am to see no field rations. Are we clear on that, staff? None.


7:24 AM. The staff puts my breakfast down on the floor. The bowl of milk and plate of chicken are much to my approval. The bowl of field rations is not.


7:26 AM. Finished with the milk and chicken. I have completely ignored the field rations.

I shall leave the staff to have her breakfast in peace and quiet.


7:35 AM. Somewhere in the distance I hear the barking of that foul mutt.


7:48 AM. The staff is leaving for the day. Farewell, staff. Don't forget to pick up milk.


7:51 AM. Watching the staff leave the driveway. Well, what do we have on the schedule for today?


8:01 AM.  Watching the Weather Channel. More frosty nights to come. 


8:21 AM. I think it's time for a well earned nap.


11:34 AM. Waking up from my nap. Big stretch.


11:36. Have come into the kitchen to the disappointment of realizing all that's out in the open is field rations.

Oh well...


12:39 PM. Zoomies.


2:19 PM. Waking up from another nap. Zoomies do get the better of you.


4:36 PM. The staff comes in the front door. It's about time, staff. You did remember the milk?


4:40 PM. The staff is putting groceries away.

Good. There's the milk.


5:19 PM. The staff is making dinner. I smell meat.


6:27 PM. Dinner with the staff. She has cut up some steak for me. She insists on having hers with vegetables. To each their own.


8:40 PM. Pondering the great mystery of the universe is a big ball of string theory.


11:28 PM. The staff is off to bed. Good nights, staff.

By the way, I have oonies scheduled at two.
