HAMLET’S CAT’S SOLILOQUY
(attributed to Lauren Wahl and T Gorca)
To go outside, and there perchance to stay
Or to remain within: that is the question:
Whether ’tis better for a cat to suffer
The cuffs and buffets of inclement weather
That Nature rains on those who roam abroad,
Or take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,
And so by dozing melt the solid hours
That clog the clock’s bright gears with sullen time
And stall the dinner bell. To sit, to stare
Outdoors, and by a stare to seem to state
A wish to venture forth without delay,
Then when the portal’s opened up, to stand
As if transfixed by doubt. To prowl; to sleep;
To choose not knowing when we may once more
Our re-admittance gain: aye, there’s the hairball;
For if a paw were shaped to turn a knob,
Or work a lock or slip a window-catch,
And going out and coming in were made
As simple as the breaking of a bowl,
What cat would bear the household’s petty plagues,
The cook’s well-practiced kicks, the butler’s broom,
The infant’s careless pokes, the tickled ears,
The trampled tail, and all the daily shocks
That fur is heir to, when, of his own free will,
He might his exodus or entrance make
With a mere mitten? Who would spaniels fear,
Or strays trespassing from a neighbor’s yard,
But that the dread of our unheeded cries
And scratches at a barricaded door
No claw can open up, dispels our nerve
And makes us rather bear our humans’ faults
Than run away to unguessed miseries?
Thus caution doth make house cats of us all;
And thus the bristling hair of resolution
Is softened up with the pale brush of thought,
And since our choices hinge on weighty things,
We pause upon the threshold of decision.
Thursday Thirteen January 11, 2007
This is our first Thursday Thirteen, so we thought we would share some of the things we felines do around the house to keep our household running smoothly.
- Supervise the Mother while she is putting on her face in the morning. This requires at least two of us to sit on the sink at the same time. Another sits on the Mother’s litter box seat.
- I make sure her hair is dry by insisting that I lick it dry. Well, I try but she prefers to use the hot air blowy thing.
- We all make sure she doesn’t wander off during the night by sleeping on each side of her, holding her down. I take pillow-watch, while Tucker and Scrappy sleep at her sides.
- We set the proper example of getting enough rest.
- We remind her promptly when any of our dishes are out of food. Or even half way empty.
- We remind her to fill our water dish everyday by spilling it everywhere.
- We help keep the D-O-G in line by swatting her at every opportunity.
- We remind her to be careful when walking up the stairs by one of us sitting at the base, middle and top of the stairs. Sitting right in the middle of the stair is very important.
- We make sure she doesn’t walk into anything dangerous by stepping right in front of her if a collision looks imminent.
- The D-O-G makes sure the Mother gets plenty of exercise.
- The D-O-G also makes sure the Mother never runs out of cleaning supplies.
- The D-O-G reminds the Mother that it is time to change the litter box by snacking in it.
- We make sure the Mother knows we love her by fighting over her lap.
