It’s very early this Monday morning and I’m waiting for Mom to give me my kibble snack breakfast. She’s taking longer than usual for some reason . . .

“I’m cleaning up after your brother if you must know. I’ll be there in a minute!”

Usually, she’s good for her word. I don’t know. I’m feeling a little impatient this morning.

Maybe I’ll snooze off a while longer, in case Mom’s more than a minute late. You know how us cats don’t like our routines disrupted and this certainly feels like one of those times.

Mere minutes later . . .

As luck would have it, I did NOT starve but it was touch and go for a minute there. I didn’t think she was ever going to get here. I was so famished I didn’t even mind eating out of whatever bowl my Mom grabbed, this pink bowl, my sister Tessa’s bowl, who has decided she’s above Monday breakfasts and is sleeping in today. Is that a thing now? Napping over kibble breakfast? Why, I think that’s cra-a-z-z-zy thinking!

02/21/2025 – On the Hunt

. . . and you know what I don’t appreciate? Being called Anteater. You’d think I was doing this household a favor by hunting down and ridding this place of pesky and insistent ants. And what do I get for it? Called names.

Beside that upset stomach I get from eating ants, beside all that unpleasantness, I search high and low for those wee small teensy tiny crawling things. Do you remember when my Mom used to praise me for being the best bug hunter ever? I remember that. Of course, I whapped the bugs back then. I didn’t know some were soooo tasty.

I’m not any more inclined to give up hunting for and eating ants than my Mom and Dad are in labeling me Anteater. Maybe it’s a title I should carry proudly. I’ll be sure to tell the next ant I find that I’m only doing what my title insists I do.

Now that I’m doing two jobs as a cat AND as an Anteater, let’s talk about a raise . . .
