The Wisdom of Ellen in Oregon


Appropos of yesterday's post, my most excellent friend Ellen in Oregon wrote, "Being shamed by standing in the corner is not fitting of your royal kinglyness. If anyone should be made to stand in a corner, it should be the human for not remembering that grass is the Ipecac syrup of cats."

I ask you, Kitties, have truer words ever been spoken? I forced the Servant to take this Royal Portrait most befitting of my station when she arrived home from her w-o-r-k this evening. She argued that she should be allowed to "relax" first, but I told her that would have to wait till later, when *I* told her it was time.

    I'm glad your human has been properly put in her place. As you know, I tend to take a softer approach with humans than many other kitties - but wow, yours was really out of line!

Leave me a meow or a hiss; I don't mind a hiss or two. . . or even a bitey.
