“Argh! I’m going to get you, Gwendolyn!”
“Shut your trap, Pumpkin Head! You don’t scare me. But that Christmas stuff? AAAAHHH!
Marble the warrior kitty: “I’ll take care of that stinking Pumpkin Head, and make him smell good, too!”
“Keep your grubby hands off my box, you pathetic paparazzo!”
But you have too many boxes, Silver.
“Au contraire! Hapless hermaphrodite.”
Um, Silver, do you even know what a hermaphrodite is?
“Hermaphodities is the Greek Gato Goddess of Duopoly.”
Hmmm. Duopoly is an economic term, not a biological term, Silver.
“In Meowingistics, it means having it both ways.”
Where do you come up with this stuff?
“From the CAT-a-Log of Greek Gatoology.”
I’ve never seen you reading a catalog, Silver.
“That’s because you’re a blithering, blind bog dweller stuck in 3D. We cats can access all kinds of resources in our interdimensional Caterverse. You humans are hamstrung when it comes to thinking outside the kitty litter box. That’s why it was so easy to domesticate you humans over 10,000 years ago.”
That’s all very interesting, Silver, but it doesn’t change the fact that you have too many boxes.
“No! No! No! Keep your cranky, curmudgeonly claws off my box!”

Staff are so hard to find these days. Vanessa dug up a skeleton for us—one benefit of having a graveyard down the road. While not the most productive staff, skeletons are good at mindless tasks.

Duo Cheezo
When Glenda eats cheese, she licks as much out or more of the dish as she eats. I put the dish I use to cover the cheese in front of Glenda to catch her mess and put it back into the bowl when she’s done. Loki figured out he could eat Glenda’s spillover instead of butting in on Marble’s cheese. When Marble was finished, Silver joined Loki.
“Hey Loki Loki Loki! Hey Loki Loki Loki!” “I say there! You, you’re like bothering me, Glenda Girl.”
“You get where I’m coming from, Glenda Girl?”
She can’t talk with her mouth full, Loki!
“Stupid Paparazzo! I can’t take it. I just can’t bear to look! Or is it bare to look? Or a bare look! It’s like that age-old kitty conundrum, ‘Do you bare your soul or bear your soul?’ Maybe it’s like if you have a hot soul, you bare it, and if you have a grizzly soul, you bear it. Again, I can’t bear or bare it. I’m so confused.”

Silence From The Frogs (Featuring Teagan Riordain Geneviene on Vocals)
Teagan was gracious enough to lend her beautiful voice to another of my original songs, Silence From The Frogs. I first published Silence Of The Frogs as a poem in 2017 while blogging on T & L Photos. I made the poem into a song in the summer of 2022. I first published the song with my vocals in February 2023. Teagan’s voice is a vast improvement over mine.
The tree trimmers cut the branch that fell on the powerline off the powerline but left it in the bamboo, still pulling down on the phone line. I have to duck under the phone line when I go out and in the gate. The tree trimmers worked late into the night, trimming the trees back from the powerlines and cutting the fallen branch off of it.
