Letters to the Easter Bunny

|

The Unusual History of the Easter Bunny | Easter Traditions

A couple of weeks before Easter, Santa Claus stopped by the Easter Bunny’s main burrow on Easter Island. He was amazed to see that it was almost as busy as his workshop at Christmas.

Santa: Goodness. This place is really hopping!

Easter Bunny: If that’s supposed to be a joke, this is not a good time. We are really busy getting ready for the big day.

Santa: What are you talking about? Christmas isn’t for another eight months.

Easter Bunny: Do you live in a cave the rest of the year? Easter is only fifteen days away!

Santa: Surely it can’t be that hard painting a few eggs to ship around the world.

Easter Bunny: No. Seriously. Do you not pay any attention to anything after Christmas?

Santa: Well, I usually take the whole crew to a small island off Denmark for a few weeks after Christmas. Just to chill out after the rush.

Easter Bunny: So you have no idea how crazy things get around here in March and April?

Santa: I try to ignore social media. There’s a lot of negativity out there.,

Easter Bunny: I meant do you pay any attention to current events?

Santa: Not really. Humans depress me.

Easter Bunny: I can understand that. But Easter’s a lot more popular with the animals than Christmas.

Santa: That can’t be right. I’m beloved everywhere.

Easter Bunny: Really? Listen to this.

Pulls out a letter and reads: Dear EB, I am so excited to see you, I can hardly wait. I never knew there was a big bunny who gives out presents. I’ve been a good bunny. Please bring me some new sticks to chew on and some alfalfa. We are leaving a treat for you outside the door.

Santa: Boy, he’s gonna be disappointed when all he gets are eggs.

Easter Bunny: What do you mean? I give out treats too.

Santa: I don’t think grass and sticks are really treats. What about the toys?

Easter Bunny: Here’s another one.

Dear Easter Bunny: Mama says that you bring treats to all of the good girls and boys, not just bunnies. I’m a little kitty. Would you please bring me a toy with a bell in it? Thank you, Maggie

Santa: You don’t really deliver that type of thing do you?

Easter Bunny: Of course I do. I have Easter magic the same as you have Christmas magic.

Santa is looking over the Easter Bunny’s list of deliveries.

Santa: Why don’t I know most of these names? Who are these children?

Easter Bunny: They’re not children. They’re small animals. I only deliver Easter baskets to the humans. My special orders are all young animals.

Santa: Why don’t they ask me for toys? Most animals like toys.

Easter Bunny: A lot of them are afraid of you.

Santa: How is that possible?

Easter Bunny: You are a very large human with a very loud voice. That’s scary to a lot of small animals.

Santa: Hmm. I never thought about that.

Easter Bunny: And you are on television and in stores. Most animals steer clear of human activities.

Santa: That’s probably smart.

Easter Bunny: Besides, animals don’t have any use for most of what you bring at Christmas. You’re too human-centric.

Santa: That might be true. How do you get all of this done by Easter?

Easter Bunny: I have rabbits and hares all over the world to help. And if it’s too remote, we use Yak Express.

Santa: I like them. Very dependable.  I guess I’ll leave you to your work. Maybe we can get lunch after Easter.

Easter Bunny: Sounds good to me.

Easter Fashion Fails

|

Greetings. It’s Snoops. You may recall a while back we imagined what would happen if Yule Cat went around judging the Christmas outfits some humans forced their cats to wear.He was pretty lenient unless the cat looked unhappy. Yule Cat isn’t available this time of year, but we found someone to help us out with the Easter outfits some cats are wearing. Sgt Stripes doesn’t want to cover his own beautiful fur, but it turns out that he has quite a good fashion sense.

Although none of us will wear clothes, we do not judge those who like them. We are only opposed to humans who force their obviously unwilling companions into wearing clothes because the humans think it’s “cute”. We feel that anyone should be allowed to dress as they choose.

This little kitty is adorable in their bunny ears. No need to interfere with what’s going on.

This cat looks like he’s given up fighting. I would appeal to his humans to let him just be himself. I think he’s sad that they’re trying to make him into a bunny.

This is not a happy cat. I think the human should be forced into wearing this outfit. Especially the part that ties under the chin. The poor kitty looks like he’s ready to go after whoever put him in a bib. Cats are very clean; the bib is an insult

To me, it looks like they are trying to imagine the bunny suit away. It is possible that they are sleeping and hoping the second fur coat just goes away.

On the other hand, this fellow looks pretty comfy in his bunny suit. And it fits him beautifully.

If looks could kill, this cat’s humans would be in serious trouble. And the color totally clashes with the beautiful fur coat. This is not a happy cat.

Do not put your cat in a chicken costume. This cat looks like she has given up all hope of ever looking elegant again. Please do not make your kitty look this sad.

I can’t believe I even have to say this. Do not dress your furry friend like a vegetable. No cat is ever going to think that’s a good look. And they’ll be humiliated if the other cats see it.

Snoops: My Work is Never Done

|

           

Greetings Everyone. It’s me, Snoops, and I am very tired. I have been working around the clock to get Blondie back on her feet. Apparently she’s going back to work on Monday even though she still can’t put weight on her foot for another week. I have been with her for the past week making sure she got enough rest.

Onyx: You do realize she is MY humans, right?

Snoops: You deserted her for Mom’s bed with the wool blanket and bed warmer.

Onyx: I did not desert her. I’m the upstairs cat, remember? She’s the one who left me. Besides, I tried to see her, and you drove me off.

Snoops: You ignored her when she got home from the hospital.

Onyx: I waited for days upstairs, and she never came back. I finally decided to forgive her and went downstairs.But you were hogging my spot.

Snoops: It wasn’t your spot. Your spot is upstairs.

Sgt Stripes: Will you two please quit arguing. Everyone knows that Snoops rules the main floor.

Snoops: Thank you, Sarge.

Sgt Stripes: Of course you do get a little territorial sometimes.

Snoops: I’m a cat. We’re kinda known for that. You didn’t have any trouble forcing your way in.

Sgt Stripes: Blondie likes me a lot. I had to make sure she was safe when she was sleeping.

Snoops: You were sleeping too.

Sgt Stripes: It was really comfy with all the blankets. You slept a lot too.

Angel: You were both in the way. I couldn’t even get in to cuddle most of the time.

Snoops: What are you talking about? You never sleep with the humans.

Angel: I was just starting to.

Sgt Stripes: She’s right. She has been getting a little  cuddly with Blondie.

Angel: I was just getting used to laying in her lap when this happened. All of a sudden you guys took my spot, and I’ve been stuck laying on the ottoman.

Snoops: You know there are two other humans, right?

Angel: The male human is pretty attached to Sgt Stripes. And I just can’t get comfortable sitting with Human Mom, for some reason.

Gypsy: That’s because she likes me better.

Angel: No she doesn’t.

Gypsy: Yes, she does!

Snoops: Quit fighting! We’re supposed to be helping Blondie get better.

Angel: Then you need to do something with the little humans. They keep stepping on her foot or rolling over it.

Gypsy: I hate to agree with Angel, but she’s right. They should have gone to a kennel until Blondie was better.

Snoops: That’s an excellent idea. I wonder why the humans didn’t do it.

Sgt Stripes: Maybe it’s not too late. We still have another week before she’s healed enough to drive. Let me check with Mr. Google.

Snoops: Make sure the place takes Mom’s credit card.

Sgt Stripes: I kinda like the little blonde one. He always gives me treats.

Angel: That’s true. Besides, Blondie would miss them.

Onyx: Hey, Snoops. Are you going to keep sleeping with Blondie once she can go back upstairs?

Snoops: Nah. That’s too much work. You can have her back.

Onyx: Excellent. Hopefully it will be warm enough that I won’t need the bed warmer.

Sgt Stripes: I can help if you need me.

Snoops: Pawsome! One more week, and we should be back to normal.

Snoops: Tails from the Homefront

|

Greetings feline friends and others.It’s been awhile since we updated our continuing struggle to peacefully coexist. We had over a week of total peace and calm (no hissing, growling or swatting). Then Mom ruined everything by commenting on it. The past two days have been kinda rough.

Snoops: Sgt Stripes and I are living in harmony, more or less. But sometimes, he just seems so annoying that I have to growl at him.

Angel: I totally agree. There’s something. We just can’t put our paws on what the real problem is.

Sgt Stripes: The problem is that you ladies are hyper-sensitive. I don’t do anything, but I get growled at and have to avoid the whappy paw.

 

Snoops: You’re not totally innocent. You still try to chase us once in a while.

Sgt Stripes: A little exercise wouldn’t hurt you.

Snoops: Excuse me? A little exercise? You treat us like prey.

Sgt Stripes: It really gets your heart pumping. It’s good for you.

Snoops: I will exercise when and how I choose.

Gypsy: I get to watch all the action. I pretty much get along with everyone.

Snoops: I like you well enough, but you have really weird sleeping habits.

Gypsy: What do you mean?

Snoops: You find a spot, and it’s like you’re glued to it. You only move to eat and use the litter box.

Gypsy: So what? You have favorite spots.

Snoops: Yeah. But my favorite spots are always my favorite spots. You choose a place, won’t move for a few weeks, then find a new favorite spot that you won’t leave. And you never go back to the previous favorite spots.

Gypsy: I keep looking for the perfect spot.

Angel: A perfect spot doesn’t exist. The small humans have free run of the house.

Sgt Stripes: I like the small blonde one. He gives out excellent treats.

Snoops: And lots of them.

Gypsy: But they are really loud.

Angel: I wonder if they have a volume control. Like the television.

Gypsy: That would be excellent.

Snoops: Did you notice Blondie has invaded our space on the first floor?

Angel: I did. She’s taken over the good spot on the sofa.

Snoops: Yeah. She can’t walk for a couple of weeks.

Sgt Stripes: Does she have a bad paw?

Snoops: She’s a human. She doesn’t have paws. But if she did, it would be one of the back paws. She had something similar 10 years ago. Can you believe how cute I still look on her scooter?

Angel: That is pretty cool.

Gypsy: Where’s her cat?

Onyx: You mean me? I’m still hanging out upstairs. I’m the Empress of the Night.

Gypsy: Shouldn’t you be with your human?

Onyx: I stayed with her all last summer when she was depressed. I’m sitting this one out. She’ll be back upstairs in a couple of weeks. She has plenty of cats downstairs.

Gypsy: That seems kinda harsh.

Onyx: Snoops told me about the importance of having a back-up human in case something happens to your primary human. And I found a great wool blanket in Mom’a room. I’m going to hang out here until Blondie comes back up.

Sgt Stripes: Sounds like the rest of us will have to take turns watching Blondie.

Angel: Yeah. She has to get better so we get the living room back.

Tabocracy in Action: 2-Month Update

|

Sgt Stripes is holding his first press briefing of the Thomas Tabby era. Things have not been going as smoothly as they had hoped, and there were a lot of questions.

Sgt Stripes: Greetings everyone. Welcome to the Tabocracy. I know that there are a lot of questions. Unfortunately, Thomas is not available this afternoon to take your questions directly, but I hope to be able to address your concerns. I would like to open the floor to questions.

Beagle Dog Breed Information & Characteristics

Beagle: I’m Freddie from the Woofington Post. What happened to Remy, the Golden Retriever. I thought he was going to be the “outside voice” to make sure cats didn’t run everything solely for the benefits of other cats. We haven’t seen him since Thomas took office.

Sgt Stripes: Unfortunately, Remy has been sidelined with hip dysplasia. He recently had surgery and is healing well. We hope to have him back sometime next month.

500+ Golden Retriever Pictures [HD] | Download Free Images on Unsplash

Beagle: So there is no dog representation at the moment?

Sgt Stripes: We don’t want to replace Remy. He’s part of the team.

Sea Otter Fun Facts | National Marine Sanctuary Foundation

Otter: Sally from Mustelid Mirror: Is it true that Thomas has not had his first meeting with the humans yet? What is the delay?

Sgt Stripes: We wanted to make sure we have a strong case before we make any requests. Additionally, the humans have been sick with whatever gets to them in the cold weather. There’s been a lot of runny noses and coughing. Extremely unpleasant to be in the same room.

Otter: Follow-up question. What are the first things Thomas will present?

Things You May or May Not Know about Tuxedo Cats - Heartland Cat Rescue

Sgt Stripes: Of course, we can’t guarantee what the humans will want to talk about. However, we are asking for bowls of water and kibble available at all parks and public spaces. One of Remy’s requests is for an end to leash laws. They are antiquated and unfairly enforced, mainly on dogs.

Tuxedo Cat: Clarice from KittyTown Courier. Do you have any idea what the humans will be bringing to the table? There’s a rumor that they will be asking for cuddle guarantees.

Sgt Stripes: There has been some talk of trying to find middle ground between the humans desire for cat affection and the cats’ natural inclination to be in control of all inter-species relationships. We are hoping that we can reach some sort of agreement on social interaction.

Tuxedo Cat: Is that strictly a human-feline issue?

Sgt Stripes: We believe so. Dogs do not seem to have the same need for personal space as we cats do. It’s a shame that the humans seem to want to be in control. No cat will allow that.

Mice : Got Pests? : Board of Pesticides Control: Maine DACF

Mouse: Edgar from Rodent Review. We smaller animals have an issue with Thomas’ security team.

Sgt Stripes: I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Snoops is in charge of security.

Mouse: Snoops is rather aggressive in protecting him. There is a problem with all of you cats. You see my type of creature as a toy or even a snack.

Beyond Barn Cats: How to Keep Mice and Rats from Feeling at Home in Your Barn | Stable Talk | Farnam

Sgt Stripes: I don’t think that’s a fair accusation. We are working to make everyone more comfortable.

Mouse: We would like to see a smaller “prey” type animal on your team.We are not comfortable being represented by a predator type animal.

Sgt Stripes: I will take your concern back to Thomas.

Fun Rabbit Facts - Vets on Parker

Rabbit: Jonathan from Meadow Happenings. Where is Thomas? We rarely see him since the election.

Sgt Stripes: He’s dealing with some personal issues. He should be back soon.

Rabbit: Is it true that he’s separated from his wife because she’s tired of him never being home? Is that why he hasn’t met with the humans yet?

Sgt Stripes: I’m not in a position to answer those questions.

Snoops: Okay, everyone. No more questions. The briefing is over.

A Gator Family Wedding – Part 3

Alligator Hatchling

Where we are: The family is gathering in the Everglades for Stu and Amanda’s wedding.The ceremony will be on the beach with reception following in the swamp. They finally got all the details straightened out. The only problem is that Stu didn’t make it home from the bachelor party, and no one knows where he is. Amanda, the bride, and Vinny, Stu’s son, are fighting. You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

Amanda: I knew a bachelor party was a bad idea. How did you lose your father?

Vinny: I didn’t lose him. We all left together. I don’t know why he didn’t get on the boat.

Amanda: Didn’t you check to make sure he was on the boat before you left?

Vinny: He was right behind me. I don’t know what happened.

Amanda: Well you need to find him. The wedding is in two days.

Vinny was angry. Why did his father always disappear when something important was happening. He had never met another gator who was so likely to disappear with no notice. Someone knocked at the door.

Amanda: Stu! Where have you been? We’ve been worried sick about you!

Stu: Honey, I’ve told you never to worry about me. I get sidetracked but eventually I always find my way home.

Amanda: Thank goodness! Vinny and I were worried sick. I thought he’d left you behind.

Stu: Technically, he did. When we were leaving, he spent so much time talking at the dock, that I decided to use the washroom. He was just pulling out. I guess he couldn’t hear me over the motor.

The wedding was held two days later on the beach. The bear in charge created a beautiful ceremony. Afterward, everyone went to the Everglades Inn for the reception.Stu had managed to get his old band Acrocalypse to play. Amanda wasn’t a huge fan of punk croc music, but she agreed to a compromise. Her string quartet played during dinner, and Stu’s buddies played afterwards.

Where we are:Stu and Amanda are getting married on Valentine’s Day. A week before the wedding, they found out that the officiant would not be able to perform the ceremony. Their wedding planner, Stella, is looking for a replacement. Meanwhile, Stu was getting ready for his bachelor party. You can read Part 1 here.

Stan: What will you ladies be doing while we’re at the party.

Justine: Granny is throwing a little party for Amanda.

Stan: I thought that Amanda hated the idea of a party. She just wanted to relax before the wedding.

Adele: You know Granny. She could sell ice to a polar bear. It’s not going to be anything fancy. Just hanging around her house, drinking her famous palm cocktails and eating her amazing boa bits.

Suzy: And she promised to tell Amanda embarrassing stories about Stu.

Stan: That sounds like fun. I’m glad Granny and Amanda get along so well.

There was a knock at the door.

Vinny: You ready to go, Stan?

Adele: Where are you having the party?

Vinny: It’s a little place out in the middle of the swamp. It’s called Hugo’s.

Justine: Why didn’t you want to tell Uncle Stu where you are going? He made it sound very mysterious.

Vinny: I didn’t want him to try to get there by himself. He’s been a couple of times and kept getting lost. I thought it would be best to just tell him it would be a surprise.

Vinny: There’s quite a few of us so we’re taking three boats: mine, your brother John’s, and Danny’s.

Adele: Have fun, dear. Don’t wake me up when you get back.

The three boats arrived at Hugo’s. It was in a thatched hut. There was a bar and a dance floor. The doorman greeted them.

Vinny: Yes, we do. It’s under Stuart Gator Bachelor Party.

Stu: Look at that! Warm water with bubbles. I’ve never used one of those.

Vinny: We would like pitchers of the fermented fruit punch.o

Marcel: Very well. I will be back in a few minutes to take your orders.

Vinny: When a made the reservation, I requested the Endless Seafood Platter.

Marcel: My mistake. I do see that on your reservation. I will be back with your drinks.

John: Stu, I hear that you need someone to officiate your wedding.

Stu: Not anymore. I should have known to just ask my sister. She knows a manatee who can help us. The only problem is that manatees only come up for air every few minutes.

John: That sounds like a bit of a problem.

Stu: That’s what we thought. But he knows a Florida Black Bear who can do the entire ceremony on land. And the bear doesn’t mind coming to the beach.

Report: Black bears 'robust and growing' in Florida

John: I’ve never heard of an alligator getting married by a bear. Is that legal?

Stu: Stella, our wedding planner, says that there doesn’t seem to be any law against it.

The drinks arrived, followed shortly by the food. It wasn’t long before the fermented fruit had all of the alligators feeling a little drunk. Stu nearly fell asleep in the Jacuzzi. They tried playing darts, but mainly ended up telling each other how bad they were at it. Then they tried karaoke and discovered that drunk alligators are not good singers. Finally they found their way to their boats and went back to Granny’s ranch.

Stan: Are you sure he isn’t just ignoring your knocking? He had a lot of punch.

Vinny: No. Granny and Amanda both asked me where Dad was.He’s not asleep in any of the boats, and he’s not in his room.

A Gator Family Wedding

|

An alligator as a ring bearer?!? Would you perform this wedding? | AMM Blog

Stan and Adele had agreed to go to South Florida a week before Uncle Stu and Amanda’s wedding to help with the last-minute details. They were bringing their daughters Justine and Suzy along so they could help. When they stepped off the train, they looked around for Stu.

St. Augustine Alligator Farm

Adele: I don’t see Stu anywhere.

Justine: Maybe he got lost on the way to the station.

Suzy: I bet Amanda isn’t letting him out of her sight.

Stan: They’ve been staying with Granny Gator so she can keep an eye on him.

Adele: Are you sure he was going to meet us? Maybe we should just take the bus.

Squirrels express frustration by twitching their tails, researchers say.

Then they heard a very agitated voice behind them:

Are you the Stanley Gator family? I need to find the Stanley Gator family. Have you seen the Stanley Gator family? They were supposed to be on this train? I have to find the Stanley Gator family.

Stan turned around to see who was calling him and was very surprised to see a rather large squirrel.

Stan: I’m Stan Gator. What can I do for you?

Squirrel: I’m Stella. I’m the wedding planner for Stuart and Amanda.I’m glad I found you. Things are not going well for the wedding. I’ll explain it on the way to Granny Gertie’s farm.

Suzy: Are they fighting? Are they going to cancel the wedding?

Justine: That’s dumb. Why would they cancel the wedding now?

Stella: They are fine.They are getting married on the beach and then going to the swamp for the reception.

Adele: That sounds lovely. What’s the problem?

Stella: There was some type of miscommunication. The Everglades Inn, where we are having the reception, was supposed to provide the officiant for the wedding. Apparently, no one told him, and he does not want to travel to the beach.

Justine: Maybe you could offer them more money.

Stella: Unfortunately, he is a river otter and is not comfortable with the ocean.

Stan: There must be someone else who could do it.

Stella: I’ve been calling around. No luck so far.

She pulled into the driveway, and everyone got out of the car. Granny, Stu, and Amanda came out to greet them.

Stu: Adele, you and the girls get prettier every time I see you.

Suzy: Hi, Uncle Stu. How are you?

Stu: I’m doing fine. I imagine you’ve heard about the glitch in our wedding planning.

Adele: It’s a shame that you haven’t been able to find a replacement for your officiant.

Amanda: It seemed so romantic to set the date on Valentine’s Day. But now everyone is booked. It’s too late to postpone the wedding. We don’t know what to do.

Stu: The other problem is that a lot of animals are afraid of alligators

Justine: I don’t understand that. We’re nice to other creatures.

Stan: Some alligators see almost anything as a snack. Other animals don’t want to take a chance.

Suzy: And our teeth are kinda scary.

Phishing for Anonymous Alligators

Stu’s son Vinny came around the corner.

Vinny: Hey, Dad. I have an idea. When humans need someone for a wedding, they go online and get certified to do it.

Stu: We are not humans.

Vinny: I know that. But maybe we could get one of those certifications before the wedding.

Amanda: Could we just ask one of the humans who already can marry humans.

Stu: I love you Sweetie, but I am not getting married by a human.

Justine: I’m afraid of humans.

Suzy: Yeah. You can’t tell the difference between the nice ones and the ones who would eat us.

Adele: So we need to find an animal to marry you or one of us needs to be certified.

Danny: I know an ibis who could probably do it. I’ll call her.

Amanda: That’s wonderful Danny!

Justine: Why did you get here so early?

Snoops: I called this council meeting to discuss how the integration of our household is progressing.

Sgt Stripes: I haven’t seen any fights or fur flying.

Gypsy: There’s still some growling and hissing.

Angel: That’s just you.

Gypsy: It is not. Besides, I need to keep you away from my food. You did try to starve me last year.

Angel: It’s not my fault we didn’t get enough food when we were staying in the sunroom.

Gypsy: You are almost everything we got.

Snoops: Ladies, that’s old news. You need to move on.

Gypsy: What’s your excuse with Sgt Stripes? You growl at him every time he walks by.

Snoops: We have a history. He tried to eat Kommando Kitty when he moved in.

Sgt Stripes: I didn’t try to eat her. I was just trying to play.

Angel: Snoops has a right to keep him at paw’s length.

Sgt Stripes: It’s gotten better. Snoops hasn’t growled at me in two days.

Snoops: You seem to be slightly less annoying.

Sgt Stripes: We all eat breakfast together now.

Angel: Except Onyx. She thinks she’s too good for us.

Onyx: I don’t dislike you. I just don’t see any point in coming downstairs. I have everything I want upstairs.

Sgt Stripes: She does come down for treats sometimes.

Angel: Not since she started getting extra treats upstairs from the blonde kid.

Snoops: We really don’t see much of her.

Onyx: Well, I am pretty busy with my new position. I am the upstairs reading coordinator for the bedtime books for the small humans.

Gypsy: I thought you were an emotional support cat.

Onyx: I am. But since you and Sgt Stripes decided to stay downstairs, there really isn’t another cat to supervise.

Snoops: And we all know the humans need supervision. Especially the little ones.

Gypsy: That reminds me, we need to talk to Thomas Tabby. He’s supposed to be the liaison with the humans. We got that automatic litter box for Christmas and it still isn’t plugged in.

Sgt Stripes: They said something about a cat urinating in the electrical outlet that it was supposed to be plugged into. They want to put it in the utility room where one of the old litter boxes is.

Angel: I don’t want an electric litter box. That sounds scary. What if it eats one of us?

Sgt Stripes: They said it had been tested and is safe. I can’t believe that was our big Christmas present.

Angel: The toys were pretty cool.

Gypsy: I found out that Mom didn’t finish Prince Arthur’s blanket in time for Christmas. So I claimed it.

Snoops: Who’s Prince Arthur?

Sgt Stripes: You know. He lives with that woman who comes here to see our human brother.

Snoops: That’s right. I have enough trouble keeping the cats here straight. I forgot there was another cat involved with things. At least he doesn’t live here.

Angel: We do seem to be at cat capacity. At least I have a good sleeping spot next to the heater.

Sgt Stripes: And we do have a lot of places to snuggle up in.

Snoops: So everyone is pretty content? Meeting adjourned.

Mingling at the Kit Kat Club

|

Hi everyone. It’s Gypsy Katt. You may recall that Cheeseland is now living in a Tabocracy. Thomas Tabby has started his job as a liaison to the humans. One of his promises was that he was going to try to promote inter-species activities. I’m going to tell you about my experience with inter-species speed dating. I tried it out so I could report on it. (Just for the record, I am a very happy single lady cat.)  Sgt Stripes tagged along to watch. He sat at the bar with a cup of catnip tea.

I didn’t really know what speed dating was.The event was sponsored by the Kit Kat Club. It’s a rather elegant place that’s a popular spot for weddings and other receptions. The way that it worked was that we were given a card with the names of the animals we would be “dating”. Each “date” lasted for 5 minutes before we changed partners. At the end, we would decide which of the partners we would like to interested in meeting again. If there were any matches, we would get their contact information.

I ended up with two cats, a guinea pig, a couple of rabbits, three dogs, a mouse, and a capybara. The capybara was up first. He was very nice. However, he was a vegetarian who spends a lot of time in the water. I don’t think we had much in common. Not only that, he was huge. I decided to pass on him.

Next, I was paired with a Siamese. He was extremely attractive, but seemed to be very conceited about it. I don’t know if he was nervous or what, but he talked nonstop for the entire 5 minutes. I don’t think he even asked my name. He was looking for a life partner to start a family. That is not me.

GROOMING Rabbits and Guinea Pigs ...

The guinea pig was pretty cute, but had extremely long hair. It was hard to see his eyes. He is new to the area and is mainly looking for friends. I thought there were better places to do that, but he was very charming. Another vegetarian. I wasn’t sure about dating someone who looks so much like prey.

Speaking of prey, the mouse seemed terrified. I’m not sure why he thought that going to a dating event sponsored by a club for cats was a good idea. I tried talking to him, but all he could do was squeak. I’m pretty sure he thought I was going to eat him.

The two rabbits disappeared before I had a chance to talk to them. That left a cat and three dogs.

This cat was an elegant tuxedo cat. He was well-spoken and polite. I was starting to think that I might want to know more about him when he started talking about his kittens. I asked where their mother was. He said that she was still with the kittens and wouldn’t mind him seeing someone else. Another pass.

The first dog didn’t move, so the second dog, a large German Shepherd, growled at him. The first dog, a border collie, didn’t move. The German Shepherd lunged at the border collie, and they started to fight. Several other animals joined the fight.

Sgt Stripes jumped down from the bar and helped me get out of the building. I do not recommend inter-species speed dating.
