Guarding Cats

Today She remembered what it was like when They were younger, and He used to go to work every day. When it was still pretty early, He went out, ready for a busy day. He had places to go and people to see and He said He would be gone all day. Well, you know what that means for Kasey and me. We were on duty all day taking care of Her. If you would have looked in the window, you would have thought we were napping, but we were only pretending to nap. We would have been ready at a moment's notice if someone had tried to bother Her. We would have jumped on him or her and bitten them on the ear until they decided to let Her alone. Very few people realize that cats are very good at guarding. The people think that if you are a big, loud d-o-g, you would scare people away. The joke is on them, because when it comes to biting ears and noses, Kasey and I excel. Actually, Her day was not very different than any other day. We had our toast and butter, She met with Her computer friends, She got things ready for Her lunch, and took stuff out of the freezer for our dinner. I sniffled the package that is defrosting on the counter. It smells like stew, which I love. It has lovely gravy for me, nice pieces of meat for Him and Her, and lots of vegetables for Him. Don't worry, She eats them, too, but vegetables are really His thing. If He was away all day every day, He would not have to worry about Her. Her beloved cats are here to take care of Her. Tomorrow will be a fine day, too, because She will see some of Her beloveds. For now, Oddy-ose.
