Today I inaugurate “Cat Convo Fridays“.
The truth is I talk to cats and they talk back to me. I thought Fridays would be a good day to share the transcripts of those talks. I have translated the cat part for those not fluent in meow.
Loki: Hey, hey, hey.
Me: I hear you, where…oh, there you are.
Loki: Hey, hey, hey.
Me: I heard you the first time. What are you doing in the bookcase?
Loki: You need to catch up on your reading. Right now!
Me: Why right now?
Loki: Cause…uh…you remember that poem you read me?
Me: I’ve read you a lot of poems.
Loki: The one by Francesco Marciuliano. You know, the “Forever” one
Me: Ah, yes. “Forever is a very, very long time.” What does that have to do with the bookcase?
Loki gives me what I think is an evil grin and knocks a few books from the shelf.
Loki: I’m very clever and I want a lap, right now…forever
How can I say no to that face? I search the selection Loki has knocked to the floor and pick up the book with the greatest number of pages.
Me: Happy now?
Loki: PURR
And that is all for today because Kuri now wants to edit this morning’s post. See “While You’re Typing” by Francesco Marciuliano
Me: What is it this morning, Kuri? Punctuation or grammar?
Kuri gives me the look. It’s the look that says: Really, Lisa? Do I really have to spell it out for you?
Me: Uh, right. Spellcheck.

A cute gang has taken over … but as you wrote. Who could say not to them???
They are so pretty!
Yes! Conversations with cats are awesome! For some reason, they understand what we’re saying, right? I have a black rescue cat and she is the best company ever! 🙂 But normally our conversations are mainly around: “food! food! food!” or “lap! lap! lap!” 😉
Living and talking in a cat’s world, I like it, for sure the look on Loki’s face, I would certainly be taking notice, that face looks a bit evil, made me smile. That’s good
Cats are really good listeners and reading partners 🙂
