In honor of hug your cat day, I present a letter to my itty-bitty-kitty-committee.

To my dear Moose,
I know that you think that you’re the only kitty that matters. And, I know that you feel it’s your duty to soak up every bit of lap space, and to keep me well-groomed.
The lap space I don’t mind so much, but after about five minutes, the grooming starts to hurt.
Please stop being all offended when I take my hands away.
I promise you, mommy doesn’t taste that good.
PS. Peabody doesn’t seem to care for the grooming, either. Though, she needs it more than I do.

To Squirrel,
I know that you are a cat with very little brain, and this lack of a brain has endeared you to me.

Kicking your poop out of the litterbox, or pooping outside of the litterbox (when I just went and bought you your own box, so that you don’t have to share) kind of makes you not so endearing.
Laying in the window and talking to the birdies – good. Flinging poo – bad.
And, at some point, we’re going to have to address your obsession with me petting you with my feet. That’s just weird.

To Peabody,
Aside from your meow sounding like a puppy dog barking, we’re pretty cool. Keep on using the back of my knees as a pillow, when I’m lying down to read. It’s kind of relaxing.
Though, you really could learn to get along with Moose and Squirrel. We’re kind of a package deal.
The pink thing that feeds you

Love the pics and the comments for each fur baby. Make me wish I could bring mine to work with me except two of them don’t like hugs (sigh) and barely want to be touched. When they do come around wanting attention though that makes it even more special.
Loved it!!
Wonderful post! Thanks so much for sharing
I have no cats. Please give each of your cats an extra hug for me 🙂
I have a cat who poops outside of the litterbox, too. Her name is Blackie. She should know better. Muffin will pee in a certain place next to the stove if the litterbox is too dirty for him. Another one of my cats, Fluffy, is very huggable. He loves attention and will cry if he’s lonely. He could be a therapy cat at a nursing home and sit on the seniors’ laps.
I didn’t know there was such a day! Love it. My fur baby’s name is Sumi and wonder of wonders, she lets me hug her at least once each day. Well “let’s me” may be a stretch, let’s just say she tolerates me. She is very good at playing hard to get.
Cyn, sooooo cute. I love this!!!
