Guest Post, by CC and Minerva




CC: See, Minerva, I told you they didn't abandon us! We are one intact family again.


Minerva: Well, except for James, who got us into this six years ago. Plus, I don't think the blond one is going to stick around. She's allergic to us, you know. Plus, she has a life.


CC: There you go again, Minerva. Always the cynic. We wouldn't be here now if not for her. She's my new hero.


Minerva: Yea? What makes you think they're not going to ship us off to some other foster-home as soon as we get used to this one?


CC: Minerva, they did not bring us all the way here just to send us somewhere else. Besides, they're nicer than they used to be. That big guy hasn't even called us "mangy" yet. And the tall one doesn't  move from his computer when we run under his bed. He likes us in his room! Furthermore, we haven't been here a week and they've already cleaned the litter box. 


Minerva: Big woop. They don't leave food down all the time like they used to. So now you have to wake the big guy up at 4 a.m. every day to feed us. But at least he gets up, eventually. What are we going to do when he's not around? Huh? I suggest a big dinner, because you won't know when or if you'll get breakfast.


CC: Well, be an optimist for once. You look 100 times better with the weight you've lost since that redhead put us on a diet. You're quicker on your feet too.


Minerva: Yeah, that redhead was a real hoot. Guess we showed her, huh? Now that next lady, the other blond one, she was really nice and she actually understands cats. I could have stayed there. But,... I guess this is better.


CC: Of course it's better. This is our home. What, you want it to always be like that high class cat resort where we first stayed? That was vacation. This is real. This is our life. This is as good as it gets. And, you know what, Sister? It's pretty darned good.


Minerva: Yes, it really is. Even I will admit that. 


Hey, look, she's heading to the bedroom. You know what that means! Reading time! My favorite part of any day! Okay, so it really is good to be home at last! 



Both: Happy Holidays, Everyone! Wherever you are.
