The Cat in the Hat Laid Back

When most folk vacation, they’re not quite alone
They peek at their email and poke at their phone
But the Cat in the Hat doesn’t bring his devices
He just brings a hat; number one of his vices
He can’t be without one, not even a minute
But he can relax for as long as he’s in it.

Apologies to Dr. Seuss.

    Color coordinated and everything!

    Where is this? I want to go there. (Even without the cat.)

    Okay, I went to the link and this is in Koh Chang island, Thailand. And this is a stray kitty the person found sleeping in her hat.

      You’re right. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the photograph, and now that I know it’s a stray kitty – OMG!

        If I found that in my hat it wouldn’t be a stray any longer!

    Did anyone else have the children’s book, “Katie the Kitten”? It was one of our favorites. My sister could recite the entire thing. (Probably still can–she has an amazing memory.) I just remember a bit of the beginning:

    Katie the kitten, a small tiger cat
    Asleep in the hall, in a ball, in a hat
    She’s awake now, just watch her jump up on a chair
    To bat at a fly that is buzzing up there.

    It describes the various activities the kitten gets up to. After she wears herself out, it ends:

    Katie the kitten, a small tiger cat
    Asleep in the hall, in a ball, in a hat
    And she’s purring

    Mike, I think Dr. Seuss would be proud of your homage.

    Adorable kitkat.
