Conclusion: A Tail of One Kitty

Emeril and I have been together for almost nine years. It really doesn’t seem possible to me.

We’ve had lots of good times: snuggling, playing and napping.

And some bad times too: peeing in my favorite pair of boots, enemas and surgery.

Most importantly, we became a family.

[E] I think you have been pretty accurate in your retelling of our story.

Thanks, Emeril.

[E] You are welcome. But I do not understand what you meant by odd looking cat. I am the most handsome cat in the whole wide world. How can I be odd looking?

Well, I’m not sure if you were the most handsome cat in the world when I adopted you. You had a very handsome face, but you had a goofy haircut.

[E] I do not recall such a thing. You are teasing me?

Nope. You had what some might call a “lion” haircut. Full face, full mitts, and full tail tip while the rest was shaved short. It was quite funny after I realized that you weren’t sick.

[E] You thought I was sick????

Yes. At first glance, you looked odd.

[E] Hmmmmm…. I do not think I have broken the no sass rule.

Really? Do you agree that you’ve broken the always, always use the litter box rule.

[E] I am not saying I have. But if I have – I would only do so to give you a message.

And what was the message when you peed in my boots?

[E] I do not remember. That was a long time ago. You should live in the now.

Okay. We’ll live in the now. Is there anything else you want to share before we sign off?

[E] PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
