Kitties Conflate
Loki and Gwendolyn
Kitties conflated
Tangled mess of tails and toes
Two cats into one
When a half-moon blurs
Becomes a ball, a cold sun
Sits eternal blue
From time’s space, she saw
Vibrant sky wore lacy trees
Venus winked, skies blushed
Sleeping With A Stinky Cat
I was having a conversation about groups that do covers and recording with Elizabeth Ramos on her post with a cover of “Smooth” by Rob Thomas, and Carlos Santana called In Performance With The Presleys at Through The Viewfinder. I mentioned recording Sleeping With A Stinky Cat and looked for the post I thought I had done, to discover I had not done a post with the song.
One night close to bedtime about three months ago, Spunk came running in from the catio. As he tore by me at full speed, I caught the full-on aroma of what had happened. Spunk got sprayed by a skunk that had slipped through the wire into the catio. Skunks are like snakes in that they can squeeze their bodies through almost anything their head fits through. A small skunk can easily slip through the 2×4 inch wire that covers the catio. After we got Spunk cleaned up the best we could, he had to sleep with me while he cleaned himself up during the night. He didn’t smell by morning, but when we went to bed, he was ripe with skunk spray. The experience inspired me to write and record Sleeping With A Stinky Cat. The song is played in a funk style.
Sleeping With A Stinky Cat
By Timothy Price
Spunk met a skunk, yeah
In the catio, no
Got a blast in the face
Oh that sent him on a race
He ran around the house like the devil on his tail
Stinking up the place making everyone’s life hell
Now I have to sleep with a stinky cat
Spunk needed comfort after the attack
Now I have to sleep with a stinky cat
My eyes are burning oh, Spunk is such a brat
Lying on the bed, curled in a ball
Sleeping with a stinky cat is no fun at all
I wiped his face, yeah
Wrapped him in a towel, oh
We rinsed his eyes at best
Trying to reduce the stress
Spunk struggled, and he hissed, used his claws and fangs no less
Scratches, bites to end the stress, I ended up a bloody mess
Now I have to sleep with a stinky cat
Spunk needed comfort after the attack
Now I have to sleep with a stinky cat
My eyes are burning oh, Spunk is such a brat
Lying on the bed, Spunk curled in a ball
Sleeping with a stinky cat is no fun at all
All Worn Out

Happy New Year!
New Year’s Timku
Happy twenty-three
Hope you keep your flame burning
Prosper and be free
New Year’s Spunku
Will things go to pot?
Black-eyed peas will help us through
See in twenty-three
The last moon of 2022
Cranes flying on the Crow highway
Landing gears down
Large bird in the clouds
Moon, clouds, contrails, and Tangle Heart Tree
In-coming
Roadrunner in the clouds
Fuzzy moon over Shey’s tree
Crossing beaks for a great 2023

Tell Tale Tail & Ears
A Spunku:
Killed my tail and ears
Left them on a pile of wires
A night’s work is done
Spunk enjoying his favorite funky tunes on the Fender speaker
Sun shines through window
Spunk’s between flower and the sun
He’s looking guilty

Glenda
Does anyone remember Silly Putty? Is that stuff still around? We have Silly Kitties. Some of their positions are pretty putty-like.

I got this case out to measure the inside dimensions to see if a travel guitar will fit inside it. Sasha claimed the case the moment I opened it. Glenda was not too sure about Sasha appropriating the case. Is this a case of a cat casing a case? In case you are wondering, yes, a travel guitar will fit inside the case.
