Ego to My Head

When you’re a cat, the humans love to stroke your fur, but they also love to stroke your ego. They’re always telling us how cute and how clever and how handsome we are — really laying the flattery on thick. It’s no wonder I’ve got a big head.

    That expression makes me wonder what’s going on behind that curtain…

      Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain…

    Memo to me: wake up before checking cute.

    At first I was like whoa! talk about weird forced perspective, then I realized what was going on. Me thinks there might be mischief afoot behind the curtain.

    Dear beloved Cutetropolitans, my Marci was euthanised today. I am devastated and also relieved that he wouldn’t suffer any more. If you have a spare hug for me, I will thankfully take it.

      I’m so sorry for your loss, and I know how painful it must have been to let her go. To end their suffering is the final act of kindness we can give to our friends.

    • Debg June 11, 2021 / 3:13 pm

      Ems, sending you all the hugs in the world. So very sorry.

      You know you did the right thing, even though it’s so horrible to say goodbye. Marci was a lucky cat to have you.

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom June 11, 2021 / 3:16 pm

      Rest in Peace, Marci. You were well and truly loved, and will be missed even by those who never met you in person.

      Many hugs coming your way from NYC, Ems, and healing puppy kisses from Bibi.

      I’m so sorry. It is truly good that we can end their suffering, but that doesn’t do much to ease the pain of loss. He had the best possible life with you. It hurts that they can’t always be with us.

    • Duckie πŸ₯ June 11, 2021 / 3:54 pm

      Two sets of feathered hugs speeding your way.

    • Emsthemonster June 11, 2021 / 4:01 pm

      Thank you for your kindness, everyone. No wonder I feel “at home” here.

      • Dana June 11, 2021 / 6:33 pm

        So sorry to hear this. Hugs. πŸ’•

        Em, so sorry for your loss of your beloved Marci. We all feel your pain and saddness. Group, virtual hugs.

      • SoccerSue June 11, 2021 / 7:57 pm

        I didn’t read this until now…I’m so very sorry for your loss. Sending virtual hugs to you. <3

    • AJ June 11, 2021 / 4:17 pm

      I’m so sorry Ems. However old they are, they’re never here long enough. Hugs from me and purrs from Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

    • Catwhisperer June 14, 2021 / 5:26 pm

      Ems, I’ve been away for several days and just catching up. I’m terribly sorry about Marci – sending belated hugs…

  7. Dulcie June 11, 2021 / 10:11 pm

    Hope I am not too late Ems. Just want to say that I am so so sorry!! I hope you can feel the hugs. πŸ’•
    Marci will always be with you.
