Okay, I may have looked at tubes in Petsmart yesterday. I may have gone down the aisle twice even. But I was strong!! I resisted tunnels but staggered out with 40. Lbs of litter instead.
Tommy: I’d like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the picanic basket auction. We raised a lot of money for the school house. Here are the winners of the auction:
Pixie won Agnes’s Better Cheddar Basket
Dixie won Alice’s Oh My Gouda Basket
Jerry won Natasha’s Race for the Roquefort Basket
And Danger Mouse won Violet’s Cheese if You Dare Basket
Lupin: I’m glad I won your basket, Bea.
Beatrix: We can toast some marshmallows and have s’mores.
Puck: I can’t wait to see what’s in your surprise basket, Soph.
Soph: I’m sure you’ll love it!
Tommy: And the Everything Honey Basket, courtesy Lady Ursala, goes to her favorite Gentleman! And now for the barbecue. But first a song.
Fun cat toy: Loosely wadded up cellophane (the old fashioned, very crinkly kind) with a layer of light cloth around it stuffed into an old sock, tie the end with dangly cord and festoon with a couple of pieces of feather boa rope from a craft store. My Onyx loves to rub his face in the feathers and bunny-kick the heck out of his crinklesock. Extra points if you sprinkle catnip on the interior materials during assembly.
Too bad Tabitha isn’t there to swat them silly or Baba mouse to swat them with her broom! Where are the people? Did they not know better than to plop down such a tempting toy and assume the cats would take turns? Somebody needs to put the fighting tigers in time out and give Elvis and Puck a turn. Elvis is too dignified, and Puck is too sweet to fight.
With paper bags, the excitement peaks when one cat put its head through the hole I have cut in one corner, gets bopped by the other cat on the rear, and jumps out of the bag, ripping it open. Quite thrilling in its own crinkly way.
My turn to ask for boops and prayers from the orb as i announce that my dad’s COVID test came back positive yesterday, despite being vaccinated. He’s in the high risk category and my mom and I are very worried about him. Also, my grandma recently was diagnosed with cancer, which she’s had four surgeries to correct. She keeps telling us she’d rather die than keep fighting. Thank you for your support in this rough time. <3
Puck has a case of the frustrations. I worry that he will be frustrated for a long time when it comes to Lupin and Goldie. After all neither one of them will give in first.
Elbiff certainly is intense. Perhaps he needs to intervene.
So, yeah… the tunnel I ordered yesterday after reading the strip showed up today :) I got the 26" one to get them used to it. Merlin (17+) went right through. Luna (11) is not so sure. Georgia the influencer :)

The Farmer and the Cowman Should be Friends
Tommy: The Robber Mice and Cats should all be friends
The Robber Mice and Cats should all be friends
The cats take their naps as they please
The mice sneak in and steal the cheese
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!
…….
All: Mice and kitties should stick together
Mice and kitties should all be pals
The cats guard the house and nap in the sunlight
The mice take everything that’s not nailed down!
…….
Burt: We may have our differences, that is true,
But for harmony we should strive,
We all know we all can come together,
Whenever we are watching Our Nine Lives!
…….
(Chorus)
Puck I’d like to say something about friendship,
Sometimes they do take a little time,
There may be a few misunderstandings,
But Agnes and I, we get along just fine!
…….
All: Oh, the Robber Mice and Cats should all be friends!
The Robber Mice and Cats should all be friends!
The Cats may chase the mice and poof!
And sometimes the mice may tease too much,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!
