I heard scratching by the new box. Dougy was digging a nest in the newspapers that I really should toss one day. (The kitty boys like them….)
I guess the new box time is finally, officially concluded! Dougy finished his newspaper nest and is sleeping in it.
You can tell I don’t have a wife or the newspapers and box would be gone, pronto!
“Rested and ready for Freddy”!* Dougy had a nice snooze and is ready to do “kitty things” again…
…or take another nap. That’s a “kitty thing” after all!
*My family used this expression – “ready for Freddy” – decades before the Freddy Kreuger horror movies and the song that suggested “ready for Freddy” was to be ready to be killed by Freddy Kreuger, that is, the grave. We used it in the sense of “ready to go” in that more innocent time when the only scary thing was the prospect of a nuclear bomb dropped on your front yard. The expression was teen talk in the 1950s, when my older siblings were, um, teens. Cool! See you later, alligator!
In our house its the wife who wants to keep the empty boxes and paper because the cats like them. Mr Clean gives then a time limit and then throws stuff away.
The time limit is a good idea. I just tossed four perfectly good boxes because they kept getting in my way. The kitty boys were not happy!
You are in the humorous mood today, Doug, and I, for one, appreciate your sense of humor. This is what happens when kitty boys treat the news as the news deserve to be treated.
Some days I’m like that. LOL! I agree the boys treat the news with the right attitude.
You brought them up to become extremely intelligent, in addition to being adorable.
I could claim credit, but I think they did it themselves.
Sure, and they also go get the papers and turn on the news on TV.
They are very informed for kitties!
LOL
It’s good citizenship!
Sure! Did The Adorables get their voting IDs?
No, I suspect even the Democrats would have issues with kitty boys voting!
Sure they will! Kitty boys are too smart for them.
LOL!
Newspapers are fun for cats. They crinkle, and make a nice nest!
I think that’s part of the appeal. You know how they are with crinkly things!
No wife here either Doug, no more marriage. I wonder what the boys would do if you filled a large box with newspaper that’s totally unfolded, puffed up? Will they jump in? We used the term Ready Freddy when my sister and I were kids!
I think we (my family) created the version we used since the original is “ready Freddy”.
I think they’d hop in the box and scratch on it to create a nest. I’ll try to remember to try it when I have a new box and an old newspaper!
It was “ready Freddy” in our house.
That’s the original version. We modified it for some reason.
that is a super comfy nest… can we borrow your family quote please? to make a nest is ready for shreddy here LOL
Sure! It’s free for anyone who wants it!
