but one job

You had but one job, Saffy.  ONE job.


And you totally messed it up, for sure.


MOUSES!


Oh don't go complainin' to me 'bout havin' too much work to do 'round here.  You only have ONE job.  One as in one.  Not two.  Not three.  Just the one.


MOUSES!



Saffron, you're up at dawn every mornin'.  LITERALLY.  You're literally awake and up at dawn.


And I'm pretty sure you're sometimes up before then, too, but at least you have the decency to wait 'til the sun is up before startin' to make a lotta noise.  SOMETIMES.  Other times, you're up and about makin' enough noise to wake up the dead.


Or Peepers.


Or worse, ME.


MOUSES!


But my point is, Saffron, you're up with the sun most mornings, and with the sun risin' so early these days, you're up before Peepers.  Up before Peepers wants to be up, too.  Up before that darned alarm clock of hers starts ringin' and ringin' and ringin'.  AND RINGIN'.


Did I mention it rings?


MOUSES!


And that, Saffy Saffron Sassifras, brings me to the point of this here little talk we're havin' right now.  It brings me to the point.  The point which would be about...


That's right Saffy, my man...


Your job.


THE ONE AND ONLY JOB THAT YOU HAVE.


Your job which is to wait until Peepers' alarm clock goes off and then get right in there and start meowin' up a storm 'til she gets up and outta bed.


Allowin' us kitties to have brekkies at a reasonable hour.


So that we don't get too hungry, you see.


MOUSES!


But what did you do this mornin', ol' brother of mine?


Well I'll tell you what you DIDN'T do.  You didn't make sure Peepers got up after her alarm clock went off its dinger.  Instead, you allowed her to knock it off its block, roll over, and go back to sleep.


And as a result...


As a result, I, Seville the Cat, didn't get my brekkies 'til sometime past eight.  Way past eight, as a matter of fact.  Way, way, WAY past eight, to be sure.


Think it was 'bout ten minutes past, in fact.  Maybe even eleven.


I'm tellin' ya, I nearly starved.


MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.

  3. Them extra minutes are a matter of life and death, rumble or not rumble. me thinks young Saffy needs to learn the Garfield Approach i.e. launching unself onto peep's tummy from afar just as or immediately after aforementioned alarm clock goes off. That always seems to woork.
