Airplane Ears
by carolynholm
Dear Winston
I don’t know another cat who wears his ears in Airplane Ears position so much of the time. Cats generally do that just while listening to something behind them. You do it most of the time!
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Airplane Ears????????
Winston
Dear Winston,
Yes, ears askew. And with your dark mask, you look wild and mysterious. You’ll leave people asking “Who was that masked cat?????”
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
???????
Winston
Dear Winston,
Sorry, I’m just kidding around. I like your masked bandit look. And the airplane ears. It fits your spooky disposition.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Poppy says I’m crazy spooky, but she loves it.
Winston
Dear Winston,
She does, doesn’t she! When you get startled and go racing out of the room, she takes off hot on your heels.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
We do zoomies together!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Sometimes you cross the line though. Yesterday when I simply picked up a pillow on my bed, you EXPLODED. You shot straight up in the air and landed in a loud crash on the floor. What on earth makes you do that!
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
You looked like you were going to throw the pillow at me!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Have I EVER done anything like that?
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
You could. It’s not impossible.
Love, Winston
Dear Winston,
Why on earth would I want to do that to you?
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
I don’t know! That’s what makes it scary.
Winston
Dear Winston,
I think you just like being spooked.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
IT’S SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
When I adopted you, maybe I should have told the rescue group that I wanted a normal cat.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
I’m not normal?
Winston
Dear Winston,
You are not, really, but you are much more interesting. Airplane ears, crossed eyes, that dark mask. How many people live with a cat who looks like he’s about to shoplift cigarettes from the corner convenience store?
Love, Carolyn
