The Boss
by carolynholm
Hey Mom,
Puffin thinks he’s the Big Boss Guy, but I’m taller!
Winston
Dear Winston,
You are indeed, but he’s got you beat on girth.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Still, he can’t always boss me around. I like to whack at his feet when he jumps past me onto the sofa. That gets him all bothered.
Winston
Dear Winston,
I notice you play with his tail when he’s eating breakfast.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I do!!!! He hates that.
Winston
Dear Winston,
He’s not in a good mood when he’s hungry. That’s when he really gets irritated with you.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I love it when he gets all irritated with me!!!!! The best thing is when I sneak up on him, while he’s sitting there looking dignified, and then whap him and run away like crazy, really fast!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
You’re incorrigible. But sometimes he plays with you.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
He does! We whack each other and run down the hall!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
See, he doesn’t always act like the big Boss Cat.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Soon I’m going to be much bigger than he is!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston
Well, maybe not. The vet said that you are looking extremely well fed, and that we should keep you on a diet or you’ll be overweight. You look pretty sleek to me, but we’re doing what she says. Measuring out the portions. And no more extra treats.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Puffin will always be bigger??????
Winston
Dear Winston,
Yes, but just in girth.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Ok, I’ll just have to be even sneakier.
Winston
Dear Winston,
I think you do a good job of holding your own.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
But I stay out of his way when it’s evening game time.
Winston
Dear Winston,
That’s wise. Evening game time is a big deal for him. He doesn’t want you butting in.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I just watch from the back of the sofa.
Winston
Dear Winston,
That’s probably the best plan.
Love, Carolyn
