Shiny Toys!
by carolynholm
Hey Mom!
You’ve put out so many shiny toys for me!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Those aren’t toys, sweetie. That bowl of ornaments is part of our holiday decor. And you’re not supposed to even be on that table.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
But they ARE toys!!!! They roll when I tap them.
Winston
Dear Winston,
Please leave them in the bowl!
Carolyn
Hey Mom,
They also click on each other in a provocative way!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Let’s leave them in the bowl so they won’t click.
Carolyn
Hey Mom,
The tree is awesome!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Thank you, sweetie! I appreciate that you boys don’t try to climb the tree. Puffin is too fat to climb. And you, thank heavens, aren’t a climbing cat!
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
There are climbing cats???
Winston
Dear Winston,
There are, but they aren’t very interesting. Not like you. You are a much more interesting cat. A non-climbing cat.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I don’t care about interesting!!! Why can’t I be a climbing cat?
Winston
Dear Winston,
We think it might be because your vision isn’t very good. You’ve never been one to try to scale the curtains, or jump up onto the mantle where we keep the cat toys.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
THAT’s where you keep the cat toys?
Winston
Dear Winston,
Possibly.
Carolyn
Mom,
And scaling curtains? Dude, that’s a THING?
Winston
Dear Winston,
Let’s see if we can find you a distracting treat!
Love, Carolyn
Mom!
IN THE TREAT DRAWER!!!! IN THE TREAT DRAWER!!!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
You sure know the sound of that drawer when it opens. You can hear and identify it from any part of the house. It’s always a reliable distraction. Now, maybe we can stop this suggestive talk of climbing.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Climbing what?
Winston
