Generational Cats

This was a good day to learn things. She met with a bunch of people, and had a wonderful time, but I listened carefully to Her while She told Him about this meeting. It turns out that there were several ages of ladies at this meeting, and She was the oldest. It turns out that what age you are tells what generation you are, and She was able to see differences in the different generations. I listened and tried to figure out what generation Kasey and I are. Kasey said we are the same generation as whatever They are, because that's how it works with cats. I'm not so sure. See what you think. She was born at a time when there was no money in the country,m except for just a few people. It is kind of like what it is like now, only worse. That made Her a Depression Baby. Except for not having any money, it was a good time to be born, because there were fewer people being born, so there was not so much competition while She was growing up. Another nice thing about it is that She didn't know She was poor, since everyone She knew was in the same way. When Her generation started to go to school, there was a big war, and now there were lots of jobs. People were still poor, because everything had to go to fight the war. Everyone's Mother had to go to work because all the men had to go and fight in the war. He was born about that time, so He doesn't remember being so poor. His Dad made designs for airplanes. When that war was done, all the men came home and got married and had babies. At least their wives did. That is the time when She was going to school. She learned to be a teacher, and all those new babies grew old enough to go to school. She called that the Baby Boom, and a lot of His and Her friends are in that generation. All this makes a difference, it turns out. You learn stuff based on what is going on in the world while you grow up. So many things have changed. She is happy and proud of all Her friends, but She knows that the young ones have gone way past Her and Him in what they know how to do. I am just glad I am Her cat and that Kasey is His cat. They know what it is like to want to feel safe and to have plenty to eat and to care for their cats. Because She had such a big lunch today, I don't think our dinner will be very big. Whatever it is, I know She will share it with me. Her generation is like that. Semper Fi.
