don't look!


Don't look now, Peepers, but...


I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK.


Actually, I KNOW I told you not to look, but you had to go and look, anyway, didn't you.



Peeps: can't follow directions even if their lives depend on it.


MOUSES!


So let's try this again, shall we?  Don't look now, Peepers, but...


Gosh darn it, Peepers.  I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!


MOUSES!


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?


Nothin'.  There's nothin' over there I don't want you to see.  Nothin' at all.  NOTHIN'.  Nothin' as in...


Well...


NOTHIN'.


So when you think about it, it was really very stupid for you to go and look.


MOUSES!


NO, there are no deceased mice or other wildlife over there.  No horked up hairballs, either.  And there are CERTAINLY NOT the remnants of an accidental litter box spillage.


'Cause I don't do such things, you know.


Like I said, there's nothin' over there for you to see.


So...


SO DON'T LOOK.


MOUSES!


Gosh darn it, Peepers, you went and looked.


Again.


MOUSES!


Peepers, we're supposed to be practicin'.  Practicin' for tomorrow, you see.  We're practicin' for when that ol' solar eclipse is in the sky.


'Cause when it is...


Whatever you do...


YOU MUST. NOT. LOOK.


'Cause if you do - look right at it without proper eye protection, I mean - you could permanently damage your eyes.


AND THEN HOW THE MOUSES WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE STORE TO GET SAFFY AND ME OUR DAILY NECCESSITIES?


MOUSES!

 

So let's try this ONE MORE TIME.


Don't look now, Peepers, but...


GOSH DARN IT, PEEPERS, YOU WENT AND LOOKED.


AGAIN!


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.

  6. Me thinks your staff are far too concerned about the small things we cats may or may not have done, MOL. The thing is, when someone says DUCK, you duck. You could try reverse psychology, whatever that is. Look now! OK, knowing the staff they probably would look. You just can't win. . .

  8. We hope you managed to get the Peeps propurrly trained in how not to look at the sun, Seville - or at least only to do so with the correct form of defensive eyewear. Did she take any pictures?
