Anipals loved to pawty and had Wonderpurr Adventures. And no one loved pawties and adventures more than Herman TattleCat.
After Herm and Belle got meowied on Mackinac Island, Michigan with their huge wedding trending Number One on Twitter, they moved into their first home. There Herman built himself an awesome ManCat Cave.
He was so proud of his ManCat Cave that he made it part of the tour when he and Belle threw their first party. You're welcome to join the tour. You might even recognize some familiar faces among the guests.
No Pink Poufs allowed in ManCat Cave! I'm talkin' to you, PhiBotticelli.
DORI: Welcome to Kick the Litter, a new feature here on It’s a Wonderpurr Life where members of our family, comprised of cats from varying backgrounds, generations, and breeds, gather each week to mix humor with intelligent debate over Hot Topics that pertain to not only us, but to cats in general all over the world. Hi evfurrybuddy, I’m yoor host, Dori, the Baba Wawa of the cat blogging world. *wavy paws*
HERMAN: Each week we choose our topics with
the intention of educating human caretakers, many of whom have the wrong
impression about caring for cats. Sadly, it’s an uphill battle, but we hope our
debates will bring awareness and open dialogues among humans to benefit us all.
Today’s subject for discussion is especially dear to those of us on this panel
because five years ago this week we nearly lost a beloved member of our fam—
RABBIT: <zooms into room and jumps onto
couch, knocking Herman to the floor> I’m here! What did I miss?
DORI: Nothing. Yoo aren’t on today’s
discussion panel.
HERMAN: <eases to feet> Do you have any idea how rude you
really are?
RABBIT: I’m not rude, I’m enthusiastic. So, what’s
today’s Hot Topic? Why are cats afraid of cucumbers?
HERMAN: Don’t be stupid.
RABBT: I wasn’t one of over forty thousand Googling
that question last month, dude.
HERMAN: Today’s Hot Topic is:
Feline Urinary
Blockages Can Be Deadly
RABBIT: Naw. That’s not a good topic. How about Do Cats Fart? Ten thousand average searches on Google last month.
Lotsa people desperate to find the source of a bad smell in their living rooms.
Dearest Friends, Well, it’s been a Wonderpurr week at my house, the place
where I live. I hope yoo are feeling encouraged by the approach of Spring, even
if it’s dwagging it’s foots in yoor part of the world. Please treat yoorself to
a pwetty potted tulip to cheer up yoor room décor. No lilies cuz they are toxic
to all who nom them, but yoo already know that.
At my house we went for weeks without any rain, so much so
that my momma began to worry about Sassy Squirrel who lives in the tree behind
our catio. I overheard her ask Daddy, “Are they getting enough water?” Daddy –
who has been married long enough to know where Mom was going with this question
– replied, “I’m sure Mother Nature is taking care of them just fine.”
“Mother Nature is a temperamental bee-atch,” Momma replied. “Look
at the death and destruction from the tornadoes she sent to Mississippi and
Arkansas.”
We lived in Mississippi on the Memphis border up until three
years ago. Yoo don’t want to fool around with them tornados.
HERMAN: Welcome
aboard the ST. HERMAN. I am your captain - Herman!!! <~ I never go anywhere
without my three exclamation points. Because the Wonderpurr Gang has been
working extra hard developing Kick the Litter for It's a Wonderpurr Life, I
thought they could use a break (especially Dori). Do something fun in the fresh
air. So, I decided to take them whale watching.
RABBIT: We’re
hunting whales? Isn’t that illegal?
HERMAN: What? No—
RABBIT: You mean
it’s legal to hunt whales?
DORI: *tugs on
Herman’s floofy tail* Will there be wefweshments served?
HERMAN: Yes—
RABBIT: I’m
pretty sure you’re wrong about it being legal to hunt whales.
HERMAN: No, I
meant Yes, I have a catered banquet. No, we aren’t hunting whales. We are
watching them.
RABBIT: Sounds
boring. Unless we’re watching them do kinky stuff.
