Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for February 26, 2017

It seems to me that Rose and akimbo aren’t as madly in love as they used to be. A lot of sarcasm had entered the relationship and I don’t like it.

I meant Jimbo.

A warm cat on your lap is worth any inconvenience.

When I walk in the door, one of my cats jumps on the back of the recliner, then onto my shoulders. Depending on what I’m wearing, it can hurt a bit, because her claws are sharp! Once I said "No! Stay there! And as I walked away she leapt from the chair, squarely in the middle of my back and climbed up me. Now THAT hurt!

I’m impressed that, throughout all those gymnastics, Jimbo’s coffee cup remains undisturbed!

You don’t want the cat on your lap. The cat wants on your lap. It’s a lost cause Jimbo. Give in and concede defeat. Pet the kitty.

In my 20’s I stayed with my aunt, who had a rather wild (but adorable) cat. One night I was standing up talking on the phone, wearing a thin pajama top, when the cat jumped right onto the middle of my back, claws fully deployed. I screamed, which scared the cat off, and scared my friend on the phone half to death, not knowing what had happened. Then I had to stop laughing so I could explain to my friend that I was fine!
