My Vacation As Interpretted by Precious and Spook

So, I was thinking about the girls today, wondering what they might be up to. First thing I think of is that they start their day with a good romp around the bedroom, bed, hallway and down a couple of sets of stairs with no lumpy thingy on the mattress acting as a speed bump. Next they whistle into the computer room, have a good shake and fur lick in order to insure an even coating of cat fur over all delicate and sensitive equipment.

After a bit of a snack – phooey, only kibble and water, they decide that digging in the plants might be fun. Digging to the point that my Jade plant, older than both of them combined, has gone on to Jade heaven – or where ever such plants relocate after their ephemeral time on earth. Digging is not to be equated with looking for a place to ummmm well you know. There is even more fun to be had in the litter tray. The litter box is filled with sweet smelling wheat, oh so much fun to toss around and dig through.

After all of that work and digging a nap would be in order to insure sufficient energy to act with much disdain when the creature with opposing thumbs comes to open the canned goodies. It is an absolute requirement to have balance between acting very indifferent to frenetic ankle polishing – another clever way to insure maximum transfer of cat fur to clothing.

Once fed, watered, petted and played with, a long nap is in order before watching the telly and mocking the latest unsuccessful candidate on “American Idol”, both cats being convinced that either one of them could sing better than any contestant left on the show for another week. A bit of a romp and tussle to determine who sleeps where and it is off to dream of …

And to think they are NOT even on vacation. The best part of the day for Spook is the knowledge that there will be no strangers ringing the doorbell, no trips to the vet and no strange voices. The best part of the day for Precious will be the unlicensed capacity to chase Spook around since Spook insists on playing the “jump-on-my-tail” game – at least that’s what Precious believes Spook is inviting as Spook’s tail twitches nervously.
