| Sir Tigger, was 17 when his owner went into a home and he ended up in the shelter. |
"She's late this morning!" said Anna.
"There be others she cares for besides us's, or is it we's," said Yume, in her broken English. Yuma was born in Japan and was a stray, so her English, and grammar, are still a work in progress. And learning a new language at an elderly age becomes a longer process for most.
"I got to sleep more, this was good," said the tea cup cat, Maxine.
And then there was a loud thud on the ground.
It was The Magnificant Maurice Mittens who had recently been returned to the shelter for reasons unknown. He arrived with the name Mittens but was grateful his new caretaker adjusted is name,
"as I am more magnificent than a mitten!" he announced.
Maurice Mittens sauntered over to Sir Tigger, and stood behind him. The two got along, but there was a feeling in the air that Maurice could take over if he wanted to, bt he didn't want to. And Tigger liked to stay out of trouble by backing off of any body encounter with another felines.
The door opened, the sing song woman voice said the usual,
"Good Morning! What a great day to be a cat!"
And she plopped down a big box.
"Look what came for us?" she told them all.
They all gathered, except Yume and Anna who watched from their perches.
Inside were cans and cans...and they knew exactly what was in those cans...judging by the tail swishes and humming purrs.
"I hope it's the Seafood Combo," said Maurice.
So you see, dear readers, when you send a gracious gift of canned cat food to the senior felines, a conversation does happen, and appreciation is shown via tail swishes and grrrrr's.
