"I walk the night.
I tread on silken toes.
I wear my furry clothes
Even in clover
I sit on windowsills.
I watch to see what spills
When things tip over."
I do that too! I sit on windowsills and keep an eye on the squirrels out at the bird feeder. Sometimes I talk to the birds; and if I am really lucky, I see a real mousie.
I don't tip things over. Nor do I have a china bowl...nor do I get cream; my Daddies say it's bad for me. I wish they would let ME decide what's bad for me. I wouldn't eat bad things. {Daddy Tim editorial note: We won't go into detail on the cloth ribbon incident, but let's just say Bubble's last statement is false}.
The kitty in the book remembers jumping from trees. I'm only allowed to scratch at their roots which is actually very good for the claws. I do wonder about climbing trees...I may try it {No she won't}. The kitty in the book likes to lie in its humans' laps and it likes to be snuggled just like I do. Daddy Trent has a particularly long lap that is perfect for napping and dreaming in.
Then it's at the end of the book that the kitty uses the magic cat door to go outside to walk in the night. Sigh...I would so like to do that. Maybe some day my Daddies will take me out at night. I like this book a lot. I think little humans would like it to because it is kind of from their cat's pint of view.
The illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher are very cat like too. I like a book where the cat looks like a cat and not some freaky human-cat combo or a cartoon weirdo. These are pretty pictures that focus on what is important: the cat.
Today's Tip for Cat Children of Human People (CaCHuPs): Fall starts the time of decorations. First come the orange and black ones...then the Brown ones...then the Red and Green ones. It's important to NOT play with the decorations to much if you want to enjoy looking at them for a while. Only bat them around a little when your human is around; they will think it's cute and put out more decorations. When your human is gone you can play with the decorations more...just be careful not to get carried away. Breaking one can make them all go away, and that's no fun. Not only does your human get mad at you...but it makes them sad when their house is not as decorated as the next human's.
