Amidala speaking.
When I told you of my vet visit, I forgot to tell you I’m gaining weight! I was up to seven pounds, although the doctor says I need to gain more. I’m eating more, since the doctor treated me for those … er … intestinal hitchhikers I’ve been harboring unbeknownst to me.
Now. I showed you the packages MaMA got for me for Christmas:
I’m sorry to say I changed my mind about the scratchy thing. I have no interest in it, after all.
On the other hand, the Temptations cat treats are aMAZing! I love those! I have a feeling MaMA is planning to put some in the carrier, the next time she wants to take me to the vet, and I’m rather inclined to think it might work to lure me in, or at least to resign me to my fate.
The little mice are sweet, and I have no objection to curling up with them on the couch, although I don’t play with them. I don’t play, period.
But, now, the collar…! I simply ADORE my collar!
Here, let me model it for you.
Isn’t it stunning? It has a jingly bell at the throat, which I find most pleasant.
Oh — MaMA has insisted on taking a portrait of me to share with you. I must admit, I’m in good looks these days.
There’s nothing like having a human who caters to one’s every — well almost every — whim to do a cat good.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: What was your favorite present ever?
p.s. Will someone please tell MaMA to stop adding editorial tags to my posts? It’s quite annoying.

January 9, 2016 at 7:54amThanks, Dan. She’s looking like a cat, now, and not a stuffed cat with most of its stuffing out.

January 9, 2016 at 9:05amMy boy Blackjack’s favorite toy was an old catnip mouse. With all the catnip and stuffing beaten out of it. It was a second-hand toy, to boot. Because…..the sweet boy defined anything in our apartment as Not His. When I was given the second-hand toy, BJ smelled it as a Cat Item and literally beat it to death having fun with it.
Ami, Your Highness, it is just and proper that you be adorned with glitteriness which portrays on the outside the lovely scintillationability of your inner sparkliness. All Hail!

January 10, 2016 at 9:35amI can’t believe she tolerates a collar, but she seems to really like it! 🙂

January 10, 2016 at 5:16pmI’m surprised too. Mine hate their collars and take great delight in shedding them as soon as possible. 🙁
