Jim Garfield mentioned recently, "Oh no! There's a lot of nothing going on!" while he was reading Cat News. Well, a sleeping cat is a peaceful cat. If you were to dream about a cat, then the cat should be either a friend or sleeping. Otherwise it should be driven away. Cats are useful for killing vermin. So if a cat in your dream isn't a friend, sleeping, or killing vermin, then it should be driven away. Anyway, I guess I should put in a report. All my kitties are healthy and doing well, alhamdulillah. The kittens are almost grown up. I keep the females inside the house, so they can stay out of contact of males. It's about time they go into heat, but they haven't yet. Mama cat Floofy has been spending more time inside the house, even though she still snarls at them. I hope she's teaching them to go into heat silently. 3 cats in heat simultaneously could be very noisy, especially because I know they will choose to howl right at my bedroom door. Floofy is on contraceptives, but I can't afford to pay for all of them. The boys don't get pregnant, so they stay outside. They are both big boys now, and their faces have that tomcat look. Now in cat politics, the cat with the biggest balls wins, and Bob Cat looks like he will have the biggest balls on the street. You should see him do the ball dance. My Mom loves to watch the ball dance. That's when I hold him by his lower back and shake it in tempo, and his balls swing along. Sometimes Bobby sings along. Bat Cat can't do the ball dance. I tell him his balls aren't big enough, and he gets offended.
Tonight I was scheduled to eat rice, so I went over to Ina's restaurant but she was out of anchovy and egg rice. So I went home and made spaghetti and meatballs instead. Linguini and meatballs, rather. I use chilli pepper puree in my marinara sauce, but my usual brand was unavailable because the usual place I get it from got burned down (it looked like a bomb went through the roof) and I couldn't find it anywhere else, so I had to get a different brand, which hurt my stomach. Knowledge has made my stomach sensitive. Alhamdulillah. I would offer you some, but I need to fine tune my marinara sauce. Besides, you're not here. I wish you were here. Are you traveling right now? Please take good, sweet care of yourself. I love you, and I need you.
