02/17/2023 – Finally Friday

Can’t talk right now. Mom’s preparing to paint our Cat Den and I have to catch all the sun rays I can before she starts. She says she’s absolutely sure I would not want speckles of cream-colored paint on my extra fine and shiny black furs. Maybe we can catch up later?

Here’s someone else who isn’t terribly happy about being displaced. We’ve finally entered the 21st century by having those twenty-three year old long, thermal-backed drapes replaced next week with vinyl blinds, displeasing Pia and all her fur that loved those drapes like nothing else.

It’s pretty remarkable that technology hasn’t advanced the options for covering a sliding glass door. You either get cat-lovin’ drapes/curtains, 1990-era vinyl vertical-hanging blinds, or tack an old bed blanket up over the whole thing and call it good.

The point is that we can wash the vinyl blinds to remove fur, cat food bits, goopy nose prints, etc., and though we washed the drapes often, they were originally meant to be dry cleaned only. No matter how delicate the cycle or how cold the water, the wash shrunk them farther and farther up off the floor, thus wiping out a major point of their thermal capability. Plus, they still had fur stuck to them.

So, blinds it is. Pia, you’ll learn to love these, too, and something tells us, you’ll learn how to hide behind them, and climb them, too.
