let's talk


Sweaters.  Let's talk sweaters, my friends.  Let's. Talk. Sweaters.


MOUSES!


There are all sorts of sweaters out there, I think.  Pink sweaters, blue sweaters, purple sweaters, cream... 


Cream...


Nothin' beats a good spot of cream.  Mmmm.


But I digress.


MOUSES!


Point is, there are all sorts of colours when it comes to sweaters.


And there are sweaters of all different weights, too.  There are heavy sweaters for cold weather, light sweaters for warm, and a whole whack of different weights of sweaters, for in between.


And then there are sizes.  There are big sweaters.  Like really big sweaters.  Like the kinda sweaters that are meant to be all baggy and whatnot.  Boyfriend sweaters, is what they're sometimes called.  And boy-oh-boy are boyfriend sweaters ever big.


My gosh, a kitty could get lost in one of those.


MOUSES!


And there are not-so-big sweaters, too.  Little sweaters.  Sweaters with short sleeves.  Sweaters with NO sleeves.  And sweaters with short...  Well...  Well, they're just short.  Cropped is what they sometimes say.


MOUSES!


But here's the thing, my dear friends.  Here. Is. The. Thing.  I, Seville the Cat, am not a sweater-wearin' kinda cat.  Nope, I'm not a sweater wearin' kinda cat, at all.  Not big sweaters or heavy sweaters or light ones or small.  I don't wear 'em in summer, or winter, or even the fall.


MOUSES!


Yes, I do know there are cats out there who like wearin' a sweater or two.  Not at the same time, of course, but they might like to have a few options in their closet, dependin' on the weather or their mood.  But like I said, I, Seville the Cat, am NOT one of those cats.  I am not a sweater wearin' kinda guy.


Oh sure, I like sleepin' ON a sweater.


On.  I said, ON.  If Peepers should be so foolish as to leave a sweater lyin' on a bed or a chair, and I should happen to come across it, lyin' there...


Well let's just say, that sweater is gonna be wearin' my furs.


But I am NOT - I repeat, NOT - gonna be wearin' the sweater.


MOUSES!


So you can imagine my distress when I found Peepers knittin' a sweater that looked kinda...


Well...


Are you sittin' down, my friends?  Are you sittin' down before you fall?


That sweater she was knittin' looked cat sized, to me.


MOUSES!


I was in shock, I tell you.  SHOCK!  I thought to myself, that ol' peep of mine is thinkin' she's gonna put that sweater on me.


AND I WAS HAVIN' NONE OF THAT.


So I volunteered Saffron.


What else would a smart kitty do?


MOUSES!


But as it turned out, it was just one of those shorter, cropped kinda sweaters she was makin', and not meant for a cat, at all.


But it sure did feel like a really close call.


'Cause like I said, I, Seville the Cat, am NOT a sweater-wearin' kinda guy.  Doesn't matter how cold it might be, I prefer to go nekkid.


MOUSES!


And if my paws should happen to get chilly whilst outdoors, I can always come inside and warm 'em up on the peep.  You should hear how she squeals with delight when I do that sorta thing.


Delight...  Pain and hock...  Whatever.


MOUSES!

DON'T. GO. OUT.

AND KEEP WASHIN' YOUR PAWS.

MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.

  2. MOUSES! Thank Cod that sweater wasn't for you, Sivvers. Hey, do you think your peep could knit a sweater out of NIP? Now THAT would be something to consider, eh?

  3. LOL! We hope your peep values her fingers...at least if she ever would want to try a sweater on you!

  4. The Brits call them 'jumpers', Seville, so if you use that label, you or Saffy jumping onto a sweater is just normal and natural.
