Today’s post is dedicated to the memory of Regina Tardin.
Dear Mommy,
When Mika was visiting she bragged about her Instagram account. She has followers!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Mika does have followers. She’s a Corgi and people go nuts over Corgis.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I want followers!!!! I should have an Instagram account!!!!! You can take pictures of me, we’ll post them, and people will heart me!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Just because you are on Instagram doesn’t guarantee you’ll have a following. Your pictures are lovely but it might be too much to assume that other people will want to spend time looking at them.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Of course they will! I’m a cat. Everyone loves cats. We’re HUGE on the interwebs. Bigger than any Corgi.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Well, okay. You might be right about that. But to attract followers you’d need a hook. Something to set you apart from all the other feline internet stars.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
That’s why I’ve borrowed your mirror. I’m working on various poses for the pictures you are going to take of me.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I think you’ll need more than a cute pose, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m beginning to think you don’t want to get me an Instagram account.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Sorry. You’re right. It just sounds like one of those deals where you get all the accolades and I get all the bother.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I love accolades! And you’re totally used to bother.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
And you might be a bit unrealistic to expect an enormous following.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
People will love all my pictures because I’m already famous.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I don’t think our blog has enough followers to qualify you as already famous.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So what do I need to do to get more famous?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
How about costumes? Cats in costumes have a lot of followers.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I don’t care for costumes. I rip them right off. Costumes are the worst. You will never trick me into wearing a costume.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Okay, I’ll tell you what. I’ll consider getting you an Instagram account when you consider wearing costumes.
Love, Carolyn
