It is too spring

After I wakened Barbara this morning (a job in itself, let me tell you) it took me an hour or so longer to get her to understand I wanted to go outside. I suppose it’s understandable, since I hardly ever go out anymore, now that I’m retired, but this was the first day of spring weather. How could she fail to see that? It was warm, sunny, and the air was clear from the recent rain. M-m-meooowilicious.

She finally let me out, along with the dog, and I sat on the back porch for a glorious hour or so. I even thought about chasing a lizard, that’s how good it felt. But I decided to leave them for the younger cats in the neighborhood. They need the practice.

So don’t let Barbara continue her “it’s not spring yet” whining. It is spring. She just needed to wait another two days for the weather to change. Patience is a virtue, my dear humans.

I still hope they turn the heater on tonight. But I wouldn’t mind the heat on in the middle of summer, now that I think of it. We cats are desert creatures, you know. Actually I prefer to think of us as Mediterranean.

Meow! (That’s cat for ciao, you know.)

Love,
Emily the cat

P. S. I’m hungry. Is there Italian sausage on that pizza?

    She only goes out once every six months or so, and I wouldn’t want her to go out even that often, except she has decided to stay on the back deck. (There’s a neighbor cat who picks on her if she ventures farther.) She also likes the dog to be out there with her, it makes her feel safer. She knows she’s getting old and slowing down, and a prior owner had her declawed.

    Emily has more blankets than we do, all over the house, and it takes two loads in the washer to clean them. She loves them CLEAN, though, and looks quite pleased with life when they’re fresh. Cats really are clean freaks.

    Oh, let her sleep! Sometimes we need to dream of warmth and springtime goodies to replace their lack in reality.

    My cat is totally spoiled. She is inside most of the time and doesn’t really like to be bothered with any outdoor-time. Loved your kitty-blogging!

    Out? What’s that? Anyway, I actually sat on the sill in the sun today, in front fo the cat tv. It’s been awhile since the sun was warm enough to bother sitting in. So I guess spring is almost here.
