forty-four weeks


So once upon a time, approximately two hundred and thirty-nine million, five hundred thousand, eight hundred cat seconds ago, we were livin' in a pre-pandemic, pre-lockdown time.


Okay, so we're not actually in lockdown here in Nova Scotia.  Peeps can do pretty much whatever they wanna do, with just a few restrictions.


Cats, on the other paw...


CAN DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE.


MOUSES!


As it should be.


MOUSES!


But peeps do have to follow the rules and quite frankly, if they'd just figure out that the sooner they follow said rules, the better...


But peeps?  HA!  That would require common sense, you see.


It's like when the doctor says you have to wear the cone of shame.  You don't wanna, but you've GOTTA, 'cause doctors usually know best.


Now I say usually, on account of I'M SURE THERE HAS GOTTA BE A BETTER WAY of takin' a cat's temperature.


MOUSES!


But all that aside, the thing is...


The thing is...


The thing is, the sooner I can get these two peeps off my paws, the better, 'cause quite frankly...


THEY'RE DRIVIN' ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.


Literally.


MOUSES!


Why just the other day, Peepers decided it would be fun for everybody to watch TV, together.


As in, in the same room.


AS IN, ON THE SAME CHESTERFIELD.


It's bad enough I've got 'em in the house all the time...


BUT I HAVE TO SHARE THE CHESTERFIELD, TOO?


It's not like there isn't a perfectly good carpet on the floor.


You know, for the peeps.


Oh sure, I may have once or twice done a bum wipe down there...  I MEAN, one of my fur-sibs may have once or twice done a bum wipe down there....


BUT I'M PRETTY SURE PEEPERS CLEANED IT ALL UP.


She had better have cleaned it all up.  I mean, it's one thing for a kitty to do a bum wipe on the carpet, but NO KITTY wants to walk on it, afterwards, you know?


Of course you do.


MOUSES!


Hmmm...  As I seem to be digressin' in this here blog post, I'll just finish up by sayin'...


THE SOONER YOU PEEPS ALL WEAR YOUR MASKS AND STOP SOCIALISIN' WITH STRANGERS, THE SOONER PEEPS WON'T HAVE TO SIT ON FLOORS WITH CARPETS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN USED FOR WIPIN' KITTIES' BUMS.


OTHER kitties bums.


NOT mine.


Of course.


MOUSES!



***********************

And remember:

IF IN DOUBT,

DON'T. GO. OUT.

Continue to practice SOCIAL DISTANCIN' measures

AND KEEP WASHIN' YOUR PAWS.

MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.

  1. Way too many peeps here refuse to wear masks, they should be spayed or neutered...or both!

  2. We are still having problems here with people not following rules. My human has been having groceries delivered because it's so germy everywhere!

  3. We are on our third lock down and it feels like I have been under house arrest since early last March with everything delivered to us. When restrictions were eased last summer we did take picnics up on the moors to places that only the locals know so it was secluded. I do miss my friends and going on holiday, but hopefully these times will pass.
    Until then I am afraid you will have to put up with your peeps invading your space for a while longer, Seville. (Eric was the carpet bum wiper here.)

  4. Seville a little scoot does nothing to lessen the peeps ability to fully enjoy the carpet. What is it with these peeps?

  5. Sivvers, we hear you loud and clear. We all wish peeps everywhere would wear their darn masks and social distance like they're supposed to!

  6. Seville, we gotta tell you, we are sick and tiered of our Peeps being around ALL the time! Like it was bad enough when the weather was not winter, but since it got cold and we got snow...well we sure wish our human brother would quit farting, and we wish our Mom would quit whining! And we will be HAPPY when they can go out about again! Just saying....Have a marvellously Happy Day!
