The Best Thing
a poem by Viola.
Boxes arrive.
Stuff unpacked.
Excitement abounds.
Really, who needs that stuff?
If excitement is the point,
wouldn’t it be cheaper
to order an empty box
and watch me nap?

Please excuse our intermittent commenting presence for the next two weeks while 1) road/home construction near Colehaus has our Internet connection super wonky at best, and 2) Mom is on vacation meaning Dad is in charge of Colehaus Cats until September 1st. Who knows what kind of trouble that means!
Viola, you are very wise. After all, it is all about the box, right?
Tell Mom to have a great vacay!
We hope your mom enjoys her vacation. Now, let’s see what the kitties can coerce their dad into doing 😉
An excellent poem! I’m thinking your dad is the one who will get a vacation, since it’s so much fun to hang out with kitties!

Viola, that box looks like a great sleeping spot. Good luck with all that stuff that Internet stuff, and tell Mom to have a great vacation!
We wonder what you cats will post with Dad handling the posting duties?

My human once gift wrapped an empty box for Sparkle for Christmas – it was highly appreciated!
Well said Viola!

Boxes are the best. Why can humans understand that? We hope your mom enjoys her vacation. We’ll see you when we see you. 🙂
Great poem Viola, and very true. I hope your mum has a great vacation.

Viola, I think you should order your own supply of boxes!
Who cares what comes IN the boxes? it’s the BOX that counts.

You let your mum go on vacation? Really?
Nice poem. Have fun with your Dad 🙂
I luv those boxes too.
The look on your face says it all Viola!!
Great poem! We think the best part of getting packages in the mail *is* the boxes! 🙂
We hope your mom has a wonderful vacation.
HOLY CAT if our dad were in charge of posting they’d all be kitty fart jokes or something. WORD.
What a poetess you are Viola! So many talented kitties live at your house! Thank you for visiting us when we lost our poor Julie, it meant a lot to hear from all our old friends. We’re sorry to have taken so long to write but our hearts just hurt so much. Keep up the good work! Purrs!
