A Legend in His Time

Yeti and Boo are dreary girls today…they have been by my side all day but won’t interact…I think they would rather let me speak for them this time, as we have learned some sad news. After all, they were fans too.

It is with heavy hearts that we extend condolences to Anne Marie Avey, who lost her precious Colonel Meow Wednesday night. It is a very sad time for his minions, but a devastating loss to his family. Known publicly for his conquest for world dominance, Guinness-record-length fur, and (reported) indulgences, in his private life he was really a happy, loving cat. He was a magnificent creature loved by so very many, both online and off, and a void is felt in his absence. Rest in peace, sweet kitty.

Go forth and conquer the next world, oh Charismatic One.

Yeti Above Man by Lin Eilee George: Yeti up on a high windowsill

Mewsletter #1

Boo: Wow! You’re finally online again.

Yeti: (sighs) Yes, I know…it’s been a while.

Boo: You’ve been slackin’.

Yeti: I know. I have. But to be fair, whenever I thought to mlog, Missus has been monopolizing the laptop or had it with her out of town.

Boo: And when it was available, you were cat-napping on the job.

Yeti: All right, I get it already! I’m trying to make it right.

Boo: Okay. Sorry. It’s just so rare that you’re in the wrong – and not me – that I had to bask in it at least for a little while.

Yeti: Honestly, Boo, you could have mlogged too.

Boo: Let’s not go there.

Yeti: Are you going to let me compose this or not? You’re not exactly helping.

Boo: Oh, I want to help. What are we saying?

Yeti: I thought it might be a proper time, being the end of the year, to do a Mewsletter.

Boo: That’s fabulous! What a fun idea! …Um, but just what exactly is that?

Yeti: (rolls eyes) A newsy post about what’s been going on since we last posted. Actually in a better format than this; I’m working on it here…see?

Boo: I see. And that last post was…when?

Yeti: According to the mlog: May.

Boo: Youch. We can’t let that happen again.

Yeti: Already solved. I saw a copy of Missus’ schedule, so we can exploit it, and post.

Boo: (eyebrow raises) I’m impressed at your sneakiness.

Yeti: Well, I am a cat after all. Anyway…June…Missus went on a long trip with MamaMissus. Again she came back with tons of photos to paint. She’s been sorting those and the ones from Israel almost non-stop on the computer since then, babbling about “too much good material for paintings”.

Boo: I’d think that would make her happy.

Yeti: My sense is that it does; she’s just overwhelmed by the sheer volume.

Boo: Why did she take so many then?

Yeti: She seems to subscribe to the philosophy that one must take about 100 photos to capture one really amazing one.

Boo: Then she must have gotten hundreds of awesome ones.

Yeti: I don’t doubt it. So…continuing on…summer…oh, yeah…they started looking for a house with an art studio –

Boo: NOOOO, nonononono. We’re not moving again. No. No. No. N–

Yeti: Keep your fur on. It seems they decided to wait. Some stuff is going on and I don’t really understand it. I can tell she’s really stressed out because she got really sick again.

Boo: That was awful. She was in a lot of pain for a while. It was worse pain than her cancer I think.

Yeti: Have you seen those horrific ads about shingles? It even looks painful. I couldn’t look at her.

Boo: But you did a good thing.

Yeti: Wha– oh.

Boo: “Cuddle bug”!

Yeti: Stop it. You did it too.

Boo: At least she was better by Christmas. She had projects again this year for church. And we got Christmas gifts!

Yeti: Yes – my goodness but those catnip toys were most potent! (blinks thrice)

Boo: (grins) I’m enjoying those. But it really doesn’t seem much happened this year. We must be missing something.

Yeti: Of course: Halloween.

Boo: Ugh, the costumes – better left forgotten.

Yeti: She’ll get us next year no doubt. (squints) Hmmm….

Boo: Your face suddenly looks much less angelic. What are you thinking???

Yeti: I think it’s time we turned the tables on her. She dressed up as me for Halloween this year…I think it would be well-earned if we share a little of the annual humiliation, after the Mewsletter, of course. (devilish grin)….

Yeti: Oh yeah, one more thing (mwahahahaha):

Boo: (nodding) Awesome! I like it.

Yeti: Start the year off right, I say. On to 2016, Yeti Girl! And we’ll post much more too.
