Meow, Pals.
We hope you are enjoying Spring (and almost Summer). We are trying to here, but it’s hard because it gets hot then cold…hot then cold. We don’t know what season it is! Sometimes Mom will open the windows and we’ll get the fresh air zoomies. Sometimes she turns the heat on because it’s freezing. This weather stuff is stupid.

We had to say goodbye to BoyCat last month at the beginning of May. He got really bad with the kidney disease all of a sudden out of nowhere after doing so well with the treatments Mom was taking him to. We are all sad to lose him. He was the oldest, and had been here the longest, so he knew all the rules and ropes around here and with Mom. 

Mom had been letting BoyCat go outside in the garden sometimes (supervised, of course) because he was sick and not doing that great.  Besides, he always tried running out there anyway. She figured why not just let him do it now. Let him have a good time. She was going to try to take him around the block in the stroller, but that didn't get to happen. 

No fair, though! That sounds like fun. Hopefully we all get a turn eventually. He also got LOTS of wet foods....A LOT! Double no fair! Ugh. Sick kitties get all the special treats!  

Walnut and Butter Bean are going potty in Mom’s shower now. Nobody knows why. It’s not all the time. Only sometimes. They are just being weirdos. They usually go in the box like normal kitties. Sometimes they just don’t want to be normal, apparently. Why are we related to such oddballs??

Nobody here is normal…especially Moms (don’t tell her that). That’s why we’re all weird here…because she picked us all. Don't children always act like their parents???

This is the month when we celebrate all our birthdays. Yippee. Nothing special, like always. Just two cans of food split between all of us. Ugh. That's the same treat we always get every few weeks. What a birthday treat. Our Mom is a cheapskate!

Who knows what kind of dumbness will be happening this month/next month?!? You never know in this place. It’s a circus!

Til Next Month,
All of Us
