05/01/2024 – Hello May!

Mr. G, formerly known as Murray, says Hello to the month of May, one of his favorite months. One year ago, he finally came up to Mom who had patiently waited for him to do so, and accepted his first petting. That was soon followed by an introduction to brushing, catnip chicken treats, and snoopervising all things garden-related in our backyard.

Mr. G’s garden skills include pouncing on wayward bark nuggets, reminders of perennial color compliments versus clashes, a brief explanation for why semi-sprouted decorative grasses don’t make the best bed for snoozing, and reasons to feign disinterest in birds whenever Mom is present.

In short, Mr. G is an excellent garden cat. His brother, Stubbs, a.k.a. Bunny, isn’t bad either.

Quint and Tessa. Close but far by choice. Still okay with each other’s company. Quint still gets the pillow, Tessa still claims whatever she sets her mind to; in this case, the blanket is all hers. The confident outstretched paw says, “Mine. All mine.”

Back in 2013, the two first settled into the pattern that remains today. Close but far by choice. Quint got the pillows, Tessa claimed whatever she wanted; in this case, an old hand-crank Columbia record player. Much later, she claimed that sisal bench and shredded it. Tucked away out of sight in a closed room, Mom still thinks she might be able to salvage it. Some day, you know, on that mystical future day where all things are possible.

Mom, when will you be done working outside?

In a bit, Quint. I have a lot to do out there today.

Okay Mom, I’ll wait for you.

Later,

Are you done outside yet, Mom?

Nope. Sorry, Quint. I’m just grabbing a water bottle. I’ll be in soon.

A little later,

I’m still waiting, Mom. Are you done yet?

I’ll be back inside shortly, Quint. Wait just a while longer.

Even later,

I don’t think I like this waiting thing. Mom sure is taking a long time out there. Wouldn’t she rather be inside with a snuggly boy like me? I think she would!

Much later,

She’s still outside working and I don’t know when she’ll be inside. I guess that means my job is to lay here and look handsome and keep this blanket from sliding the rest of the way off the couch. Someone’s gotta do it!
