Mieze’s Musings # 5

After a hot and sticky day, nothing like a bath.

 

 

MIEZE’S MUSINGS #12

I realize how cute I am    

 

But what is this creature?

Mieze’s Musings – # 11

So why does a rabbit have its own holiday?

Have you ever talked to a rabbit?

Exactly!

They don’t have paws to bat things with.

They can’t climb onto the windowsill to look at the world below.

They can’t even meow.

So why do they get a day filled with pastel baskets of goodies and great smells from the kitchen?

And humans wonder why we seem cranky.

I’m going back to my nap.

Mieze’s Musings – #10

Can’t a cat get some sleep around here?

Mieze’s Musings – # 9

There are simple pleasures in life I’ve discovered.  A scratch from a gentle hand on my belly.  A ruffling of the fur between my ears.  Cold water that suddenly appears out of a spigot.

I don’t understand why more cats have not discovered this revelation.  We are smart creatures.  We truly do like to think of things that make our life easier.  But I can’t seem to convince the others that the more adorable they are the more luxury the receive.  I’ve now trained the kindly woman and man who own me that every time I sit on the edge of the silver tub to turn on the water.

They stand and watch me, amused by the new trick I’ve learned.  When I was younger I might have bristled at the thought of performing for them.  I was an independent sort, always trotting out of the house without a thought of when I would return.  I used to look back at the woman standing in the door, and sometimes I would think I might miss her.  Then one day she was not at home.  Then another.  Then another.  The man would come check on me and feed me, and that is when I began realizing how bleak a cat existence would be if not for someone to scratch my chin or rub against.  When the woman came home, I felt happy and that is when I realized I could make her happy too.

Now when the woman seems sad, I jump on the counter and wait for the water.  It makes her smile and laugh.  A bonus is that I get to lap up all that cold delicious water.  But also I get to see the joy she gets just because I’m with her.  It’s my way of showing her that I’m appreciative.  It’s the least a cat can do.  

It’s a shame more humans don’t know about this.

 

MIEZE’S MUSINGS # 8

It’s time for Spring cleaning

 

 

Mieze’s Musings # 7

Cats can be finicky sometimes

We pretend we don’t need anyone

We ignore you for days then suddenly want stroking

We walk with an air of uncaring

I’ll give you that we’re not as loving as dogs

But when we brush against you

When we decide we want to be with you

You know we really mean it

Because it’s against our nature

We know it takes patience

But we hope you think it’s worth it

Mieze’s Musings # 6 – After the week I’ve had, Vodka is the only cure.

We’re going to need a bigger glass.

I saw plump robins and wily squirrels today.  I’m going to pout until Spring.

*Yawn* Oh, it’s that time again.  Where do the days go?  I have no sense of what day it is, but I just know this seems to be the most relaxing of them all.  If cats wore pajamas, we would stay in them all day.

 

I think today I’ll spend most of it on my soft bed that’s high enough I can sleep in the sun or look out the window.  There’s a grassy spot below and I can watch humans and their dogs play on it.  The best way to observe a dog is from high and afar.  They really don’t have the control cats do not to chase everything that crosses their path.

The human woman I own is really sweet.  She bought me new toys.  The more adorable I act, the more attention and toys I receive.  It really is a happy life.  Now, if I could only get her and her son to share their food.  I didn’t say it was perfect.
