Message From Molly
Greetings, dear human friends, This is the unsinkable Molly of whom our Alpha cat and mother, Janet, wrote some weeks ago. I have been chosen to speak with you regarding life as a member of the Garey Gang.
Wate - I wanna rite, too. Hoo sed yoo wuz the guddest riter?
Stop, Gene Wilder. We agreed on this; you’re always asleep when Janet works on her computer and your spelling is terrible; even Daizee taps a correct letter once in awhile. Go make sure Mother Janet is asleep and keep her away from here; drool in her ear or something.
Hmmpphhh. Yer not the boss uv me!
He’s gone; now where was I? Ah, yes…the pecking order. I am indeed the boss of the feline element of our clan. I have not lived inside the longest - that would be Daizee - but once I understood that this was really and truly my forever home, I decided it was my job to act as a surrogate mother for the many little kittens and cats who stay here before going to their own new families.
Almost all of the foster cats - big and small - arrive here with problems. I can help some of them, especially the tiny babies who need frequent bathing and a warm, furry body to enfold them; I enjoy the sensation of their toothless mouths tugging at me while their mini-paws press on my tummy. And when they fall asleep, I remain calm and quiet, content knowing that I can still behave like a mama without actually adding to the already over-burdened population of cats in a world that I know can be very cold and cruel.
Older kittens also appeal to my maternal nature, but they do try my patience! Those little boys and girls often want to belly up to the bar just like the infants and I tolerate it for a few moments. As soon as they annoy me, I push them away, give a little warning nip and nudge each over for a distracting wash or a bit of gentle wrestling. If they persist. I have been known to vocalize my displeasure with a deep-throated “grrrrrr.”
Hey, Molly…Mama Janet n’ Daizee’s all asleep…Kin I rite now? Kin I? Kin I? Puh-leeze?
Grrrrrr!!
Okay…niver mind…I’ll go find sumware to wate…geesh, Molly, yur so meen sumtimes…

I discovered that the folks selling them on eBay charge about as much as Amazon and you don't have "bid" and wait a week for the auction to end.

Beg to differ, but Miss Scooter-Dooter, She Doesn't Need A Tutor To Use The Computer, is not my personal assistant. I'm hers. She doesn't scoop my poop...
Anyway, go to Amazon & search for "Furminator" - it's a fan-damn-tabulous comb that gets out all the loose undercoat. While you can't make another cat out of the hair, you sure can make a good-sized kitten. And it's all cat hair that either I won't be breathing or she won't be hawking up.

Hey, Prevailing - How's the wind blowing these days? Just wanted to remind you that marvelous, maternal Molly is remarkably eloquent because her perch of preference is atop Tivo during repeated marathons of Masterpiece Theater AND countless episodes of Sesame Street. In juxtaposition, Master Wilder sprawls across the PC monitor, staring intently and UPSIDE DOWN at that grammatically grotesque "I Can Haz Cheezburgur" all day, every day, and is completely fascinated by the subtle artistry, compelling characters and complex storyline of Spongebob Squarepants. Is it any wonder he is doomed to ride the itty bitty kitty cart for perpetuity? It's a good thing he's so darn adorable, because he's definitely short on smarts! Oh, well, not every kitty can meet the intellectual height of your personal assistant, the purr-fect Miss Scooter-Dooter-Ain't-None-Cuter. By the way, what's a FURminator?

Molly, ask Santa for a FURminator. You & the Meowing Herd will love it!
Somebody make that Wilder kit watch Sesame Street. He needs to be less illiterate. ;-)
