National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day

Today is Answer Your Cat's Questions Day, and I believe Carmine and Lita have a few questions for me.

Carmine: Mes wants to know why yous is always poking at this thing instead of napping on it like mes?  These things is made for sleeps, you know.




Me: I'm always poking at this thing, Carmine, because I am writing articles and blog posts for other people who give me green papers in exchange for them.  These green papers help cover your and Lita's medications and doctor bills.

Carmine: If it helps, mes and Lita wouldn't mind skipping the doctor....

Me: I'm afraid not, Carmine.  Seeing the doctor is very important to help keep you healthy.  Nice try, though.

Lita: Tell me again - why did you bring that orange one home so many years ago?  He's awfully annoying sometimes...

Me: I thought you might like a feline friend years ago when I was spending so much time away from home between graduate school classes and my internship.  He's not all that bad, right?

Lita: I guess not, but don't tell him I said that!  He just has too much energy sometimes, and these old bones of mine like to rest.
