The Other Cats

Someone asked me if the other cats are jealous of the attention that Smudge is getting as the new kitten. Well, in terms of the attention on the Internet, the answer is that I’m pretty sure they are not, inasmuch as none of our cats, no matter how clever they are as cats, understand the concept of online media to any great extent. In terms of us giving them attention, in point of fact we’ve been pretty scrupulous about making sure the older cats are not neglected for human attention versus Smudge. Kittens are kittens and need attention, of course. But we really like our other cats as well and don’t want them to feel neglected. So if you were worried about the disposition of the other cats regarding pettings and scritchings, never fear. They’re fine.
She certainly looks divine and fine
all you really need is to have the true facts narrator show your cats in motion with something using something clever that you have written.
it’s beautiful!
Spice certainly looks a bit grumpy. I’m assuming there’s a small high velocity black and white furball somewhere in the vicinity?
I really dig your cats.
That sort of look from Spice is one reason why I don’t have more than one cat – my Zelda is a long-haired tortie and a mistress of the dirty look. Plus my apartment is way smaller than your house. It’s good to hear that everybody is generally doing okay and since Smudge showed up I’ve not worried about the others; your family are all good cat slaves, I can tell.
Stunning cat!
A look that says, “What the F* were you thinking?”
