Keep the Change

Look, I’m a simple cat and I like things a certain way. Up at seven, half cup of kibble, patrol the neighborhood clockwise. I like structure, routine. I like people who stand for things, who don’t follow trends, people you can count on. What I don’t like are surprises. Neighbors who move. A new puppy next door. A tree that gets a little harder to climb every day. The signs of time and its impermanence.

I guess what I’m saying is: I don’t like change.

Unless it’s on the floor, eh Paul P.?

    Looks like a French art film.

        I mean kudos for trying but that guy’s accent is so thick that a French person I had to use the English subtitles to understand what he was saying half the time. LOL!!!

          I know what you mean. Apparently filmmaker Will Braden, who doesn’t speak French, was coached by his mother, who does. It’s obvious he isn’t a native speaker, but still … I’ve heard worse.

          As for me, I don’t speak the language past the level of a one-year-old, if that; but my accent is pretty decent, albeit old-fashioned. Regardless, I could never have come up with Henri.

    I spin the coins for my cat, she’ll watch and then “whap!”

    Typical cat, leave something in a place it wasn’t before and it will en up on the floor. ?

    That empty feeling when the money’s gone and the fun is over…

    I admit it. I’m the sort of cruel person who would hold a magnet under that surface and make the coins move around, or cause them to become “stuck” and unable to move.

    Your money or your mice!

    Wait, what?

    This cat, like my 7, just prefers clean tabletops. My babies are always trying to encourage tidiness (in me) by pushing things onto the floor.

    Great story build-up for the punch line, Mike!??

    Pretty fluffy cat. Wonder what she’ll do with the money.
