It’s time to open windows and sit on sills! Here Morgan and Sasha are sharing. Let’s listen in to their conversation.
Sasha: Why do the doggies have collars with ropes attached. Are they taking their peeps for a walk? Would their peeps get lost without guidance?
Morgan: No little grasshopper. Dogs must be trained and restrained. They are not as smart as cats. We are born wise. We are not meant to be leashed.
Sasha: Is that why we thrash around when we are put in a carrier where the porthole takes us to the V-E-T?
Morgan: Yes. We are supposed to be free! Always free except at dinnertime when we have to convince the peeps with thumbs to open the cans.
Sasha: Isn’t dinnertime all the time? I like to eat ALL the time.
Morgan: Yes and your body is looking like it. During our next lesson, you will learn how important it is to stay slim so you can squeeze through places you are not allowed. It’s also good for taunting dogs then slinking through the fence to the safe side.
Sasha: Cool!
Gracie is enjoying her spot too. She rarely sits on a windowsill so this is new for her. There must be something going on inside that’s more interesting than birds singing. Maybe it’s the dinnertime call.
Fresh air is always such a luxury. I can only leave the windows open until about 6:30 in the morning since it gets too hot otherwise. Then when the sun goes down in the evening I can reopen them. Hope the view stays ca-tastic all weekend long.

Ha. My dog is leashed for the protection of all cats and squirrels. Unless they irritate me too much.
I saw a cat on a leash walk just yesterday. Look out kitties!

None of my cats have ever had a collar on let alone a leash. There would be a struggle and unhappiness for sure. Some dogs just don’t like cats. Can’t figure out why….

I know! It’s hard for me to imagine Morgan as the elder. She was the youngest for so long and now she has all this wisdom.

It is definitely window sitting time (along with little chuckling and chin quivering as the birds draw close.)
Ah the quandary: continuous buffet visits yet the desire for svelteness. (A bite while pondering…a small bite…or two…)

Morgan is our “ek ek ek” cat when it comes to birds. Sasha believes in buffets. Lots and lots of buffets. She tries to trick you into feeding her earlier than dinnertime too so you have to watch. She is very vocal so she would be a hard cat to put on a diet. The neighbors would call Cat Protective Services.

I think Morgan is wrong about the leash thing. She’s got the Master /Servant roles reversed. To prove my point: who picks up the poop?

When we took Tigger for a walk (on a leash) . . . he always led the way! And if he stopped, we stopped. His walk, his choice.
