Sassy cats – The importance of the booty

Sasha here. The peep had a doc appointment this morning. Today! The day when I post! She has no sense of priorities!

We are kind to her because she’s had some issues. One day last weekend she had to take an afternoon nap. We cats do that all the time and she occasionally sneaks a few winks, but this was a solid full snore snoozathon! We were worried. (She’s the only one with opposable thumbs to open the food cans!)

Morgan rounded us up and we promptly jumped on the bed. Gus started humping her leg with loud purring. (Purring helps heal. That’s pure science. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more. Gus was pretty zen.) Morgan laid next to her back so she couldn’t move and I snuggled up in her neck.

Here I am comforting Morgan when she broke her leg a few years back. Gus is photobombing as usual.

After a quick nose bump I parked my booty towards her face so she knew it was me. Us cats are booty cats. We sniff to identify. Booty smells tell us a lot — who finished off my lunch and who had the smelly turd in the litter box. People don’t appreciate information like that. I’ve never seen peeps do that. Anyhow she was vexed, trying to rearrange me. I threw my fluffy tail across her face. She threatened to remove me from the bed. REMOVE ME! I’m worried about her thumbs, oops health and she’s not cooperating. In the end I scootched around and let her gaze into my eyes while I purred her to sleep.

This is our normal nap!

When she woke up, she was better (still cranky but better). Her thumbs worked well for supper. All is well when the cat food cans open!

  1. I am pretty sure a nap can change your whole day for the better. I am glad your Mom felt better but not good about still having a cranky. I still remember how wonderful it was to have the Z Cat velcroed to my chest, purring and she always smelled so good. I napped back in those days. Good work, Sassy Cats for your coordinated efforts to make her feel better.

  2. Well gang, whenever The Mom is having “issues”, it’s up to the cat staff to take care of her – after all she opens up the food and dispenses it so the LEAST we can do is be nice when she’s feeling poopy (oops….that might not be the right word but you know what I mean). When we need help the Mom is always there for us so it’s the least we should do when the situation is reversed – right? RIGHT?????????

  3. Sasha, you’re right. How dare she nap. A cat nap is one thing, but sounds to me your Peep has turned into Rip van Winkle. She’s lucky you’re so on the ball Sash to go on the air at a moment’s notice. I suggest more coffee. What do ya think?

  4. Nothing better than a snuggle with the crew. And if they didn’t put add some small annoyance it wouldn’t be having cats. As I told a co-worker – My cat is perfect. She said you were just complaining about her getting on counters. And I said, “A perfect cat must be annoying in just the right degree to their personality. She’s perfectly annoying.”
