Texts From Mittens by Angie Bailey for October 26, 2022

Our household loves getting bunted by the cats. Monroe bunts everyone. Honor tends to bunt us when we’re in the bathroom, figuring on a captive audience. Achilles bunts me when I’m doing my walks. It’s nice that Mitty shows his mama so much love.

The Mittens is a real sweetheart.

“Love me, pet me, give me treats.”

Our female cat does incredibly powerful nudges. So much strength in such a small body, it’s almost scary.

Or, he could have fewer grudges.

‘Expectations manager’ is one of every cat’s job titles.

When I squat down to pet Colette, she like to get behind me and nudge my coccyx almost hard enough to tip me over.

Even though she really hates the monthly flea treatment on the back of the neck, she doesn’t hold a grudge and is ready to be friendly again an hour later.

A neighbor’s cat likes to raid my cats’ food. I feed her outside but she prefers stolen food. Even if I soak her good with a water sprayer while chasing her out of the house, she does not hold a grudge. Cricket will return an hour later – perfectly willing to allow me to feed her. :)
