There are many things that I wish I could do:
- Whistle a tune.
- Draw well.
- Start a late-life career as a successful actor.
- Author a best-selling novel.
- Get my cat to obey me.
I have a reasonable chance at three or four if I commit the time. Only the last is entirely beyond me. I was thinking aloud about this post before going to the computer. Xenia, my cat, overheard and seemed to snort and snicker. I asked her just what in hell she thought was funny? Xenia turned her back on me, sauntered over to her favorite catnip-filled box, and proceeded to have a glorious nip toot. She’s lying there now, purring and occasionally snickering.
She maintains that she does exactly what I tell her to when she wants to.
My cats are celebrating Xenia. 😹😻
