It’s Monarch Time

We like to collect caterpillars in summer and watch them form a chrysalis.
It's so thrilling to watch them emerge
Especially to the cat. (Cat thinking "Flippity flappities!"

Attention, Please

Ginger cat screams for attention
Cat scream louder: Your ATTENTION please!
Family looks at cat.

Taste of Victory

I left the fridge door open while I prepared my cup of coffee this morning.
Seizing the opportunity, the cat raced over and bit into the first thing he saw, which was a head of cabbage.
He didn't care for the cabbage, but he did seem to relish the experience as a whole.

Cat: I have tasted of the box of plenty! *purr* *purr*

Power Games

Illustration of a cat approaching a woman. Woman: Hi, Norman-cat!! Can I pet you??
The cat walks past her.
The cat lays down some distance away. The cat: Yes.
The woman reaches out her hand, too far away to pet the cat.

My cat and I have been engaged in a 36 minute handshake, each unwilling to be the first to break. The prolonged eye contact is making my eyes water, but I’m not crying.

I’m not crying.

The Mousetrap

We got a humane mouse trap. And it worked! It caught the mouse. (Illustration of a rattling mouse trap.)
But now the cat thinks the trap is a magic box that makes mice. (Illustration of a magician mouse exiting the trap.)
And he won't stop staring at it. (Illustration of big staring cat eyes.)
Thus ensuring it will never, ever work again. (Gif of a cat paw slowing pawing at the open trap.)
