Opus 2017-047: Cat’s Got My Tongue

My wife is out of town and I am in charge of the cat.  I can deal with the feeding and keep a good attitude when cleaning out the litter box.  I am such a fine fellow.  I even let it sit on my lap and scratch its chin.  The constant yowling is starting to get to me but she will be back soon.  I just hope it has not imprinted me to replace her.  If I am gibbering and drooling then it won’t be because I am getting old.  It will because of the cat.

I am worried.  I have reason to be.  I find myself having conversations with the cat.  I speak to it in complete sentences and ask questions.  I seem to think I get answers. 

Should I be worried?  Will anybody notice?  When they lock me up can I have the cat for company?

  1. I talk to the dog, and it understands more than most folks would believe.

    1. Or is it just a need to be understood.

      Grace and peace.

  2. ... it is quite possible that the cats are in charge of us ... if we were in charge of the cats, they would feed us and then proceed to clean their own durned litter boxes ...

    Not to worry about the conversations ... cats make more sense than the intellectual and celebrity elite ...

    1. That is setting the bar pretty low.
