Words Matter

My Hoomin Mom gave me material for today. Me, I‘m just hangin’ around in my indoor trees, because my outside playground is really really wet and the branches are blowing around so hard there is not one Feathered to be seen, even at the Feathereds’ Trough.

Remi, pretending to have the Covids too

So it’s good Mom gave me material, because like many many of you on the Interwebs these days, I have little worth saying.

Mom says:
If you know someone with the Covids in this Litter Pandemic who is not in the hospital, do not say these following sentences:

  • Well, you’re lucky you got it now! Before the hospitals are overflowing!
  • Did you get tested? What day? Have you been isolating since? Have you? Have you?
  • You sound/look not so bad. Are you sure you’re sick?
  • Yesterday you felt better. You must not be sick anymore. You’re probably imagining it.
  • Everyone wants to have the Covids so they can feel A Part Of.
  • Don’t come near me! 
  • Take a shower. You’ll feel better.
  • I’d drop off some food, but I’d really rather not be near your house.
  • What are the EXACT symptoms you have had in ORDER so I’ll know if I caught it from you?

That is all I have to contribute today to this Worldwide Stay In. Otherwise, although it hurts me to say it, Be Nice. No Hissing. (Can someone get that across to my sister Cabbage?) 

And take a shower. You’ll feel better. (That does not apply to me. I groom multiple times a day.)

Who’s the Indoor Cat Now?

Once, Hoomins didn’t understand my pain ... To Governors of California, New York, and Illinois Can you guys give Governor Baker a call? He’s in Boston, on Bacon (the pork kind) Hill. I’m sure you can find his number. He’s an Elephant, and you’re all Donkeys. Clue him in anyway, even though he’s a different Speciez? Lockdown, my Hoomins say, is a learning opportunity. Hoomin Lockdown will show Hoomins what happens when they do this cruel thing to us. Note photo above, as I tried to escape my first summer living with Hoomins. No natural hunter gatherer should be confined like this! It’s INHOOMIN. The only way Hoomins will learn is through experiencing it themselves. They’re kinda … you know, slow. And Speciezist. To Foxy News You’re scaring me. You said it was all a hoax. Now you’re saying we’re all gonna die. Which is it? And can cats catch it? Dogs? Fish? Gimme it straight up. To the US Congress Why didn’t anyone clue me in regarding a chance to sell off my...

Oh Kitteh, My Kitteh

Image
What a terrible horrible day yesterday. One of my Hoomins got bad news; the Covid19 virus has struck another Domestic Short Hair, a Female Tuxedo named Sybil (I'm told because of some old movie and her Tuxitude). Of course, I agreed to share said Hoomin Poet's Rhyming Ramblings on my blog. Anything I can do for a fellow Word Lover, even the Hoomin variety.                                  O Kitteh, My Kitteh! O Kitteh! my Kitteh! your fearsome life is done, You've weather’d every hairball, the chipmunks stalked are gone, Nirvana nears, but in their homes, the neighbors are exulting, Among them you will not be missed, your moods were quite revolting;                          But O heart! O Kitteh heart!           ...

An Immodest Proposal

Image
Me outside, on abandoned vehicle. BREAKING NEWS: CATS WILL GO HUNGRY Unless immediate action is taken It is time for an Immodest Proposal. Do not mistake this idea for proposing to your girlfriend during a time like the Litter Pan-Demic, which obviously would be stupid as well as immodest. Talk about PRESSURE. I also do not mean what Anonymouse suggested in A Modest Proposal many hundreds of years ago. I was in one of my earliest lives when Anonymouse recognized that many poor children and their cats were starving (it was actually worse for cats--you could see my ribs). Anonymouse came up with some really good solutions. For example, one was to fatten up little babies and then sell them at a meat market when they're one year old or so. The money would help out the parents with too many expenses like remodeling their little huts or putting money aside for their retirements, and also provide food for the other children and cats. The other children then could grow u...
