thataway


He went thataway, Peepers.  Thataway.


Look at the tail, Peepers.  Look at the tail!  I said, THATaway.


MY tail, Peepers.  Mine!  Look at MY TAIL.  THATAWAY.



By gosh and by golly, it's like pullin' teeth with that peep.


MOUSES!


But on the other paw...


On the other paw, maybe he went over there.


It's hard to keep track, you know, what with your spinnin' around, this way and that.  Hard to keep track of which way is that.


Plus, my tail only bends so many ways.


MOUSES!


Oh for mousin' out loud, Peepers.  Now he's gone into the house.


DON'T LOOK AT ME.  I didn't leave the door open.  That's all on you.  It was you who so foolishly left the front door open whilst Saffy was in the midst of chasin' a chipmunk.  It was YOU.


DON'T ASK ME which way Saffy went.  I have absolutely no idea where Saffy has gone.  He could be almost anywhere by now.


I, Seville the Cat, had my eye on that chippy.


Who, by the way, is now in the house.


Where he will stay.


UNTIL YOU, OL' PEEP OF MINE, GET HIM OUT.


MOUSES!


I'M not catchin' that chippy for you.  This isn't my doin'.  Like I said, it's all on you.


Why?


'CAUSE YOU WENT AND LEFT THE FRONT DOOR OPEN, THAT'S WHY.


MOUSES!


Peepers, Peepers, Peepers...  When cats are runnin' this way and that, hot on the tail of a chipmunk, leavin' the door open is pretty much as stupid as stupid can get.


Congratulations!  You get an A.  An A for stupendously stupid acts of the day.


AND now you get to go find that chipmunk.


The one in the house.


DON'T LOOK AT ME to help you out.


Okay.  Fine.  I'll help you just a bit.


So try payin' attention this time.


He went thataway, Peepers.  THATAWAY.


MOUSES!


Chippies?


Nah...


Definitely 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.

  4. MOUSES! There's a chippy in the house? Yup, that's what happens when a peep leaves the door open!

  5. Oh my goodness. Yes, what was Peepers thinking. On the other hand, you would get lots of "brownie points" for giving her a hand with the invader!

  7. Oooh, a chippie on the loose is a fine thing if entertainment is called for. Less so if it takes up residence and eats your kibble and wet food, Seville. Probably best you liquidate the menace, eject it from your fine abode post haste. That way the peep can pay you for your services!
