Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
She weighs less than half of any of the boys, and she’s older than them. Fifteen years (in human terms) have been lived, and who knows how many lives she’s used up? But when she comes into the yard, she gives each boy a look, and they get way, waaayyy back while she helps herself to their kibble.
Old and small, she’s still got the power.
I’m caught between holes. One hole makes me feel like my pants are sliding down, so I’m always hitching them back up. Using the next hole on my belt puts pressure on a back nerve that ends up being a hole of pain and discomfort.
I ask my clothes and body, “Can’t you guys get together and work this out?” They reply, “It’s not us, it’s the belt.”
Maybe I’ll shop for a new belt. He’s been with me a long time, but I need to re-consider his position.
Offloof (catfinition) – a cat’s kittens or young; a feline’s descendant(s).

Have you noticed how often a hotel’s “free hot breakfast” includes cold boiled eggs?
With four cats, I have several bowls of kibble out and available, yet the cats will hunt me down to tell me, “I’m hungry. What do we have to eat?”
What they really mean is, “Give me a treat.”
Inflooftation (catfinition) – an implicit or implied act that cats interpret as an invitation for them to join the activity.
In use: “He sat down to read a novel, an inflooftation for all of the home’s cats to come get on his lap.”
Floofbit (catfinition) – a biological quantum component that helps cats track their essential activities. A floofbit reminds a cat when it needs to nap, and how long, along with when they should be active and energetic. Many cats put off being energetic until their floofbit warns them that they won’t meet their activity goal. This usually results in a sudden floofzy of dashing around with a somewhat crazy glint in their eyes.
In use: “Tucker’s floofbit informed him that he needed to nap to meet his daily requirements, so he immediately put his head down and closed his eyes, forcing everyone to walk around him.”
