see ya in a bit


Mornin' Peep.  See ya in a bit.


Pardon me?


So you mean, my brushin' past you without sayin' so much as a by-your-leave as I hurry out the back door has your knickers all in a twist?  At least I said mornin'.  That should count for SOMETHIN', don't you think?


MOUSES!


Lookie here, Peepers.  I'm a cat on a mission.  I don't have time for this stupid small talk.  Don't have time to be addin' extra words like good for good mornin', or extra syllables like ers for Peepers, either.  I'm in a hurry, I am.  Like I said, I'm on a mission.


MOUSES!


'Cause I'm busy, that's why.  Got stuff to do.  Cats to see.  Birdies to catch...  I mean, WATCH.  You know, that sorta thing.


Yeah, yeah...  I know all 'bout us cats not bein' allowed to catch the birdies.  And for the most part I do abide by that rule.  You know that I do.  You know my record as well as I.


Haven't caught a birdie since 2018.


Doesn't mean a cat can't dream though, does is.


Not a question.  It's a statement of fact.


MOUSES!


But like I said earlier, I'm a cat on a mission, I am, AND I DON'T HAVE TIME for this chitchat nonsense.  So if you'd be so kind as to open the back door...


What do you MEAN I can't go outside this mornin'?  What do you MEAN?


You're goin' for your mornin' walk and you want Saffy and me to be inside while you do that so you know we're safe and there's no chance of us followin' you?


Hmmm...


BUT IT'S SUNNY OUT THERE, PEEPERS!  It's a BEAUTIFUL mornin', ol' peep of mine, and I want to be out there enjoyin' it.  Plus, like I said, I have stuff to do.  Things needin' to be done.  So open the door, please, and let me outside.


No?


Did...  Did I...  Did I hear you correctly?  Did you just tell me, Seville the Cat, NO?  No as in NO?


Of all the nerve.


MOUSES!


What's more, Peepers, if I remember correctly, you went for a walk yesterday mornin'.  There's no need for you to be walkin' again, today.


Are you tryin' to tell me that this daily walkin' ritual of yours is gonna be happenin' like...  Like EVERY day?  Every day as in today and tomorrow and the day after that, too?


YES I KNOW WHAT DAILY MEANS, Peepers.


Just didn't realise is was gonna affect me, personally, every day.


MOUSES!


I'm tellin' ya, it's like she TRIES to make my life difficult.  It's like she INTENTIONALLY TRIES!  But that's a peep for ya, I guess.  Imagine walkin' every day...  Never heard the likes of it.


MOUSES!

  1. Gee whiz!!!!! It must be a human thing . Or a mum thing because my mum goes out walking too!!!! She says she has to get her steps in! That means I have to wait. It's not like I wander off anywhere. I just like to test the grass to see if it's ready to eat :) Now I have to wait! Seems like her walk is forever too :/ Sheesh!!

    1. She sure is. And she's like a ten thousand and twenty piece puzzle, for sure.

      Actually, more like a ten thousand and twenty piece puzzle with only ten thousand and nineteen pieces.

      MOUSES!

  8. Why on earth would Humans need to go for walks, Seville? It's a mystery to Us!

  9. Definitely should be some leeway on the definition of 'daily'. Like: any day one so choses, just so long as it's a 'day'. Worth a try?
