This morning, while still
rubbing sleep from my eyes, I set coffee to brewing in my mostly darkened house
and stepped outside to peer at the stars.
I check on the stars nearly every morning.
Yep. I could tell they were all still there
without counting.
As I wandered back in the
house, I saw what I thought was 20 pounds of overfed housecat on the floor in
my living room. “Geez,” I thought, “I
need to thin my boys down. That is one
fat cat!”
When I switched on
another light, I saw that the “cat” was actually one of that girl’s folding step
stools. These stools occasionally
migrate through the house.
Posted, is a photograph
the stool in question. I placed my
coffee cup on the step stool (for reference to size) before snapping the
photograph.
Not exactly 20 pounds of overfed
housecat…but if you know my cats, you can understand my mistake.
