“There’s a cat in the drawer,” said Denice, wholly pleased at her good fortune.
Sure enough, little Samuel Clemens was curled up and fast asleep in the top, right-hand drawer of Denice’s desk in the office. His brother Buckley as in William F was nestled across my shoe, snoring away. I take my flip flops off when I’m in the office and the little guy loves to make himself a cozy bed on them.
We’ve decided to make these little orange tabbies shop cats. I wanted to keep Buckley as in William F but didn’t want him to be lonely, and Denice loves orange tabbies, but she also loves being married, so Samuel Clemens could be hers if he lived not in her house. They needed a home, and we need to make sure mice don’t get in the archives and make nests of the magazines.
That’s how that justification went and now we have shops cats.
Office supplies now include kitty litter and cat food. Add cat slings to the supply list – Denice thinks it would be easier to work if she had a cat sling instead of having the cat perched and purring under her chin. Which appears to be the favorite perch of these little twerps.
Stressful days are made better instantly with purr breaks or the silliness of a kitten walking across your keyboard. Which during layout often changes the first paragraph into this is the …
These little boys also have adorable brothers if anyone needs shop cats of their own. Orson Wells and Oscar Wilde are quirky little black and white tuxedo kittens, and Jack Kerouac is fluffy and really chill. We got roped into helping them find their own families which has turned this column into Pet O’ the Week part II. Don’t forget to spay and neuter. For reals.
So while we enjoy these sweet babies, we’ll be right here…
…Keeping you Posted.
