the purple toe

Peepers, it is my feline medical opinion - and I can say this with absolutely certainty - it's not broken.

'Cause if it were, you'd be whining a whole lot more than you are.

MOUSES!

It appears to be...

Uh...

Well...

Purple.

Yup, that's what it is.  That's the whole problem right there.  Peepers, you have a purple toe.

MOUSES!

And might I suggest, the next time you have a run-in with a door, just step aside and let the door win.

MOUSES!

I'm tellin' ya, peeps can be such...

Well...

PEEPS.

Does Peepers not realise that I, Seville the Cat, need her for various daily tasks?  There are tins needin' to be opened, litter boxes needin' to be cleaned, and tummies needin' to rubbed, for starters.  Then there are chins needin' ticklin, sun puddles needin' dustin', and blankies needin' to be washed.

She can't risk gettin' sick.  She can't risk breakin' limbs and things.

Things like...

Well...

Toes.

MOUSES!

PEEPERS, YOU CAN'T GO 'ROUND STUBBIN' YOUR TOE.

I DON'T CARE that you were in a hurry and didn't notice the door standin' ajar.

And how does one not notice a door, anyway?  I mean, doors are big.  Doors are obvious.  They're right there for all the world to see.

To not see a door is...

Is STUPID is what it is.  Stupid as stupid can be.

MOUSES!

Of course, peeps are by nature, stupid.  I mean, when you compare the intellect of a peep to a cat, there's no comparison.  No comparison at all!

You don't see us cats waitin' on peeps paw and paw, and cleanin' out their toilets.

MOUSES!

So maybe...

So maybe I should give ol' Peepers a break.

No pun intended.

Yeah, maybe I should give her a break and recognise that AS A PEEP, she might be incapable of knowin' it's a bad idea to go slammin' her toes into doors by mistake.  Perhaps I should even extend her a little sympathy 'bout her purple - and probably painful - toe.

Yeah, that's probably what I should do.

And in fact, I think I actually will.

Right after I go laugh at her for a bit.

'Cause you know...

Purple toes look funny.

MOUSES!

  2. Hmm, purple toes! That's not contagious, is it? Mrs H is a not-so-ecret toe stubber, and believe me the colours change across the rainbow before they get back to the normal yellow tinge with a hiny of fluff, MOL ;)

  3. Poor Peep. Grammy here. I commiserate with her. Purple toes hurt. Someone feline of the cheeky nature needs to be more compassionate.

  5. Hmm, Seville...is she really sure that she didn't break a bone?
    I have no depth perception, so I run into stuff with fair regularity. You see, each of my eyes see a different image. Which is why I cannot shoot pool...LOL!
    A bit of ice on that toe may help, but here's hoping she doesn't kick anything else for awhile...

  6. Seville, why didn't you show us a picture of the Purr-ple toe?

    Ah, well - at least it's not contagious, like this HORRIBLE Corona virus!!!
