Mama G, how could you?!!

There’s nothing more heartbreaking than finding out your loved one has been cheating on you, and that’s how I feel right now. Mama G recently returned from another trip to the Pacific Northwest, and while I was happy to see her again, it was clear that something was different this time. I overheard her tell Mama C about her trip and she kept talking repeatedly about “the boys,” and about how much she missed them. “The boys this …,” “the boys that …” was all I heard for several days. And then I found her trip photos, and discovered exactly who the boys were!

Apparently Mama G had rented a house for two weeks and in a bit of an unusual arrangement, two indoor/outdoor cats came with it! To hear Mama G tell it, the boys were real charmers, though not without their faults. She had hoped to do some writing and reading while out there, but the boys were attached like Velcro whenever inside, making it hard for her to do much of anything except listen to them purr. Still, it was clear they had made a big impression on her.

I know Mama G loves me and was momentarily distracted by the shiny new objects, so to speak. I might not want to sit in my mamas’ laps much, and I know I whine too much about my food, but at least Those Two don’t have to worry about me bringing live “gifts” inside the house, as one of the boys did on Day Two of Mama G’s visit. I hear she put a stop to that quickly, and the two-way cat door then became a one-way door and the boys had to show her their mouths before they were allowed back in. Sometimes love is a one-way street.
