You’re Not Helping, Mom

“Pardon me, but my son Rollo informs me that several of you ruffians have been taunting him that he, and I am quoting you directly, ‘eats his own boogers.’ I would like you to know that thanks to positive, values-centered life coaching he now has that problem relatively under control, and I expect a full apology and retraction at once!”

    Her ear! Looks like she’s dealt with a few ruffians in her day.

      It looks like she was a feral cat at some point in her life. That clipped ear is a marker to let people know she/he? has been caught, fixed, and given shots, so that he/she does not need to be caught again. So actually… is that mommy and kitty?… nevermind… Story is great! 🙂

        A charity in my area operates free cat spay/neuter clinics once a month, and they clip an ear to mark each cat they process.

    Not sure how else a cat could deal with boogers.

      Wet paw, wipe away? Hmm … no, I think you may be right. Could be the only option.

      Gorgeous mom, adorable kitlet.

        Wet paw, wipe onto paw, lick paw = eating boogers in my book.

      Mine sneezes on me occasionally, so I guess he deals with boogers that way.

      True story: my giant black cat Gaufie, long departed but still beloved, once sneezed and a booger the size of a lima bean came out his nose. It was like a mustache of snot. Before I could even move to get a tissue, he stuck out his tongue and gobbled it up. I laughed until I cried.

      Gorgeous pics!

      Lovely! I really liked the antlers on Nagley’s store – they looked like two eagles encountering one another.

    I want to kiss Rollo’s little pink nose (after wiping it).

    At least they didn’t compare him to a bedbug. We’d hear no end of that.

    • dgerish August 31, 2019 / 11:35 am

      Hee hee I see what you did there!

      • wuyizidi August 31, 2019 / 5:36 pm

        lol, can you believe he then wrote a column about it that made things way worse?!

    Little Rollo, being a tri-color (dilute calico), is probably a girl.. still a total squeeeeeeeeee!
