Monday Meows

Monkey, make me a drink.

On it.

Wait, what’s with the fire?

EVIL! That’s what.

I like evil.

Me too.

It was a GOOD drink, Ima nap here on the remote.

Smell the paw…it smells like…freedom. ………Wut?

Monday Meows

The quarterly meeting of the committee for feline domination

The call to order.

The after-party.

And the day after the after-party.

I want in on this committee.

Planning for next quarter’s meeting.

Monday Meows

Two marrow bones and two marrow bones and two marrow bones!

………the hell?

Cheap! For this pretty face, from day to day…
To the least stab-able of tricordered time!

I think he’s doing Shakespeare again…MacBeth, maybe?

And all our yeasty days have flighted ghouls
Away too hasty breath—out, out, brief fondle!

Think of England, think of England, think of England…

Life’s but a stalking shadow, a pre-payer
That spills and wastes his sour bourbon wage

Look, you need to just STOP.

Be heard no more: it is a tail
flicked by an idiot, full of sound and furry!
…signifying nothing.

At least you got that last part right.

Monday Meows

Thumb-monkey, I’m bored, show me something amusing.

Did you say, amoosing?

No. No, she did not.

I iz confuzzled.

Nope. Not having any.

Hold me, I’m confused.

Back up. Those were dogs. 50 yard penalty for the thumb-monkey.

Declined.

…………………………………….You have the weirdest cats, man.

Monday Meows

Swear to Bast, it was like this when I got here!

I can’t watch…

I can’t look away…

Swear to Bast, it was like this when I got here!

I’m starting to doubt your thruthyness.

I don’t know, dude, I too swear that it was like this when I got here.

Monday Meows

Dis Box is defective!

My box is fine.

Yep, dis da good box.

All better!

Dis would be good place for a box.

Boxes are for losers.

All right, how about dis? Living on the edge. Well, over really…

I can iz comfortable without box…comfortablish.

Monday Meows

It was the best of cats, it was the worst of cats…A City of Two Tails.

An age of good views, an age of bad views.

I iz the season of light.

And I am darkness!

I think you cats may have lost the plot.

Now is the waiter of our disco tent!

Oh Great Hairy Ghods, he’s going down the rabbit hole again.

Let me tell you about my book, little brother…

Not Dead, Just Taking A Breather

Hi Folks,

I apologize for the long hiatus in Monday Meows and other posts. It was a rough spring for a variety of reasons including some pretty nasty RSI in my arms and hands. As I am getting close to recovered both mentally and physically, I am hoping to be back soon.

Monday Meows WIll Return: Prob March

Hi folks, sorry I haven’t been posting Monday Meows for the last two months. I got swamped. I intend to start up again in February if not sooner (ETA we’ve had 40 inches of snow since Jan 28, so it’s going to have to wait a bit longer because I’m still shoveling). In the meantime, have some cute cats.
