Ever have The Blahs?
Well, I’m leaving my memoires behind today, because yesterday I was in sort of a strange mood, sitting in sun on the back of the couch, not coming when called to have breakfast, looking a bit eyes-at-half-mast-like, whatever that means, and preferring eventually to loll under the couch instead of on my comfortable little nest under the bed.
Do you ever have one of those days? No energy, no appetite, sort of dully wondering what on earth is happening and why? Well, it worried mama (she can be a bit too solicitous, in my view) but the truth is that every now and then, a kitty just has to kick back and not do the expected things a kitty might do daily, right? For whatever reason.
I did eye my nip nana for a second or two, and I did salivate when mama put a bowl of food near my head under the couch to see if I could regain my appetite. In fact, after having drooled a bit, I got up and went to papa’s office where I have yet another little hidey hole and I passed out and stayed there until dinner. Mama felt my tummy and she told me it seemed sort of balloon-like…er…I think we know what might have been the trouble, right?
Then, bammo, right at dinner time, I played on the bed, and there I was, rolling around seductively, my usual self, wanting tummy rubs that clearly sent the message that whatever it was that put me in a funny state was OVER!
Odd how we kitties go through times like this. And it’s clearly baffling to our concerned anthros, but nine times out of ten, no worries, mate, it’s just a little touch of the moody blues.
You anthros know how that works, right?
I’m cool again, see? Much ado about nothing, whatever that means…
We’re glad it was just a temporary thing, Loulou. You don’t wanna worry the humans too much.
Oh, it was over and done with in hours.
Well they do worry about us and it is our cross to bear for being such adored and loved creatures
Ah, those crosses…we do bear them well. Wonder if bears bear?
Yes, Loulou, we DO worry when one of our pets does not behave as usual.
We love you all so much.
Glad to hear that you soon were your old self again.
Summer is here. Let’s enjoy it!
YAY, summer!!! And this morning I played like a madkitty and had a BALL even if it was that stupid feather thing.
Ooooh, Loulou, now MY mama is humming old Moody Blues melodies and yes, we have our ups and downs just like the peeps do! But since we can’t tell them what’s wrong, they go into panic mode. Maybe it’s the summertime blues?! After all, we’re wearing a fur coat! Hope you’re better today!!!!
I am SO better…I massacred my feather thingy!
Exactly LouLou! We have to keep them on their toes! Love, Cody PS: Glad you ARE ok though!
They are walking around on their points, haha.
I am glad you are feeling better. XO
Yep, it sure drives them crazy, but here it’s a short trip!
HAHA so funny. I get it and the same here, haha.
We’re glad you are okay, Loulou. Don’t you dare get sick! But you can have an off day on occasion, just to keep your humans off balance so they know who is boss.
I was not sick at all, just a bit of…er…gaz.
But LouLou, you kitties often hide any problems until you are VERY sick, so please don’t chide Mama for being solicitous. If only we could communicate for sure why we are worried – or you telling us why we needn’t worry !
Well, I saw that mama was worried and I slept it off. Also “fixed” my tummy trouble quite well. Today I am FULL of energy and thoroughly back.
