Feline Ambition
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I wish someone could explain cats to me. They make no sense at all.
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
What’s bothering you in particular?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I think Mia is crazy.
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Sometimes she is indeed.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Mia says she wants to be shot in the head.
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, she wants headshots. Those are the pictures of themselves that actors use to promote themselves. Actors are obsessed with their headshots.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Mia is an ACTOR?????
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, she just wants to be in cat videos, and she thinks she needs headshots for that.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Why would she want to be in cat videos?
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
So she can become famous. Like Grumpy Cat. Or the cat shark on the Roomba. Or Henri Le Chat Noir. She aspires to be a great feline celebrity.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
She says she aspires to be click bait.
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That too.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So she’s going to claw her way to the top?
XOXO, Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Well said, sweetie. You’re a funny dog. Mia’s probably flexing her claws right now.
Love, Carolyn
