Computer Cats

If our grandma-cats could see us now, they would be so surprised about how we can use a computer to tell stories and visit with each other. And surely they would think we are so smart and clever. Her grandmother never heard of a computer, and Her mother never got the hang of it. She didn't see a computer until She was all grown up, and then it was very hard to operate. You had to now all kinds of codes, and you used cards with holes punched in them. Computer guys had not figured how to make it small and easy. She told me the first computer workings She saw took up a whole room. Now they make computers so small that you can put them in your pocket. The one I use is still as big as a few loaves of bread. It is a good thing computers have become smaller and easier to use, because the computer is how She connects to the outside world. Every day She gets on the computer and talks to Her friends. If She didn't have Her computer friends she would be really stuck in the house with nothing to do. Although She is better at having nothing to do than He is, She likes knowing what Her friends and family are doing. She can computer-talk to Her OperaGirl and Her OzGirl, and all Her Eddie-people around the world. She would not be able to call them on the telephone. This way, She can see what everyone is doing every day. Cleo'sDad is working on election stuff, and Smudge'sMom is finishing the book she is writing, Her NatteringGirl is getting ready to move to another country - all these events happen and She is right there. Even when Kate'soldMom gets a new boyfriend, She can know about it. Of course, people don't write to me very much, but when I thought they didn't care, She told me they talked to Her. Since I have plenty to share, I'll keep writing. She is having something Her frozen people sent Her for our dinner. I don't know what it is. She says corned beef, but I don't see any corn.He is very glad about it. She is fixing some cabbage to go with it. If you know what this is, you'll have to wait and see if I like it, too. So far, I'm not too excited. Well, have a good evening.
