Bitey-Whacky
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
The cats have been making me crazy.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I know. You get very excited when they play. They race around, you follow them barking, and this place becomes a madhouse.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
You call the cats The Loud Boys.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
They are loud indeed. I don’t know how a pair of animals that small can have such thundering feet on the hardwood floor. Though I have to say, Winston’s feet are enormous. He’s going to be a big cat one day.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
When Winston goes at manic speed it’s very exciting.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Yes, that’s his top speed. His four speeds seem to be Zonked Out, Sweetly Cuddly, Attack Mode, and Manic Blowout. Manic Blowout usually involves thundering feet. And things getting knocked over. Like the Cat Tree in the kitchen. And one of the dining chairs yesterday. I don’t know how a slender eight-pound cat can do that. Who knows what he’ll do today. It’s Friday the 13th. Anything could happen.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
The cats are noisier than I am.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No honey, you make up for it with your incessant excited barking.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I don’t bark when I play Bitey-Whacky with Winston.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No you don’t. I love it when you two play that game. You do the dog version, Bitey-face, and Winston does the cat version, Whack-a-face, and you both keep at each other’s faces for a nice long quiet play-time. I especially like the quiet part.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
It’s not as exciting as barking and racing around the house with the Loud Boys.
XOXO Poppy
