Advantage Cats

Kasey and I have an advantage that a lot of other cats don't have. That is, we live here with a teacher. I wonder how many cats don't learn a lot of words, or how to spell, or how to write stories on the computer. I know She doesn't go to work and teach things to children anymore, but She says it is like being a U.S. Marine, like he is. Once a teacher, always a teacher. She can not help teaching things to people and cats. I have to admit, Kasey doesn't care about it, but I like knowing stuff. I am pretty good with regular words, but She didn't teach me words from other languages. I just hear them and have to figure out what they look like. Just by listening to Her squawk, I learned the difference between less and fewer. She is also fussy about lie and lay, and although She, Herself ends sentences with prepositions, She knows it isn't right. And don't even talk about split infinitives. Every time She hears them say to boldly go, she gets another gray hair. Some people teach because it is their jobs, but She does it because it is in Her heart. That's my guess. She is kind of fussy and gives a lot of advice, but She knows most of us need to figure things out for ourselves. Since I started with only hearing words, and now I can read and write, I take Her advice. I bet if I didn't, She would turn off Her computer when She goes to fix dinner or watch Her shows. I know you depend on my stories, so you can be glad I am a good scholar. Tomorrow is the President's birthday. He is a half a year older than Her beloved Eddie. I have to go check on the soup She is cooking. One nice thing about air conditioning is that you can have soup whenever you like, not just when it is cold. Toodle Pip, everybody.
