peepus interruptus


'Mongst other things.


MOUSES!


And what is a Peepus interruptus, you ask?


Well...


Well it's a peep.


Who interrupts.


MOUSES!


In other words, it's my Peepers.


MOUSES!


There I was the other day, tryin' to work on my book when into the office comes Peepers.  Well she shuffled here and she shuffled there and quite frankly, she shuffled pretty much everywhere, and then...


And then she proceeded to babble.


Like the constant shufflin' wasn't distractin' enough.


MOUSES!


And let me tell you somethin', my friends, when my peep - aka Peepers - babbles, it's THE MOST distractin' thing in the world.


It's true!  They held a competition and everythin'.


Spoiler Alert:  Peepers took first place.


MOUSES!


Now sometimes when Peepers babbles, a kitty can kinda tune her out.  You know, like one does with those sound machines and stuff.  But when she's right there, IN YOUR FACE, incessantly babblin' on about this and that, and that and this, and then some more of this and that because quite frankly, she has babbled on so much she has completely forgotten what she was goin' on about...


Well when she's doin' that, she's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to ignore.


Why, just the other day...


Uh...


Umm...


Now where was I?


Oh yeah, just the other day - the day when I was tryin' to work on my book, in fact - she was babblin' on about something 'bout not bein' able to find whatever she was lookin' for which is probably why she had been shufflin' here and there and everywhere prior to the onset of the babblin', and then because I had been TRYIN' to tune her out - quite unsuccessfully, I might add, but I had been tryin' - she decided to stop shufflin' and sit down next to me and start babblin' right in my face.


Okay, so she didn't so much sit down next to me - on account of her havin' to sit on the floor in order to do that, as I was on the chair - as she picked me up, plopped her fat tail on MY chair, and took me on her lap, which interrupted my train of thought to no end.


Trains...  You ever been on a train, my friends?


Yeah, neither have I.


Probably on account of my bein' a cat.


But the thing is...


Umm...


Oh yeah, the thing is, Peepers babbles on and on AND ON.  I'm tellin' ya, NO CAT has ever babbled on like that.  NOT EVER!


And...


And when Peepers babbles on and on AND ON IN MY FACE, she interrupts like no peep has ever interrupted before, and...


AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES MY PEEP A PEEPUS INTERRUPTUS, MY FRIENDS.


It's some kind of human subspecies, I do believe.


MOUSES!

  1. hahahaha Well Seville, you have obviously not met a Bengal Cat. Olive here babbles on about lots of things first thing in the morning, supper time and then again around 10 at night. For some reason she thinks that I am going to be late one of those times and she starts at 15 minutes before the time. Not only does she babble on but she screeches like a banshee yell.
