Dr. Seuss wrote a book called The Cat in the Hat. I am suggesting there needs to be a sequel called The Cat in the Lap.
When we returned from Thanksgiving on the east coast we brought back a cat. This is not just any cat, it is the cat the brings great joy to my grandchildren. They will soon be relocating so it became the job of the grandparents to move the animal. Even though I don’t care about a cat more than about 20 seconds I do love my grandchildren. So, we hauled an animal across country. When we tried to stop for the night all went well, until 2:30 A.M. At that point this albatross decided that it was time to protest all the injustice of the world. We gave up and hit the road, and recognizing the pointlessness of trying it again, we covered almost 1,000 miles that day.
Since my wife has a cat of her own this one has adopted me. It sleeps on my bed and is always clamoring for attention. This would be an ideal cat for someone who can’t live without dependent, degenerate descendants of jungle felines. I suggested we find a little old lady who is lonely and make a donation. I got nothing but frosty stares in return.
There are times I wish I were allergic.
Until that change in my metabolism takes place or the grandchildren arrive I am destined to have a cat in my lap. I guess there are worse things to suffer.
