Suddenly Sunday

Wow, it's Sunday again?  Time sure flies.  I have meant to post for many days now to thank you, Friends, for having my back!  You see, here's what went down.  After the bell grabbed my claw and my mom had to free me, my mom sat me down and said "Zoe, that exact toy with its exact bell has been played with by four kitties.  You are the only kitty who managed to hurt herself with it."  And I'm all like "Woman, what are you saying?".  And she's all like "I don't know, Zoe, it's just that trouble seems to find you".  And I'm all like "I was framed!".  And she decided to go ahead and do a PSA about the danger of bells on toys.  But then do you all know what?  You all took MY side!  You all told me that you had good Moms or Humans or Servants who removed the bells BEFORE they ever gave you the toys!  Instead of showing that I'm a walking disaster, she instead showed that she is a negligent cat mom!  hahah!!! Oh yes, I have the best friends in the world.

OK, now on to serious business.  Our mom went down to Texas this weekend, an area called Hill Country.  To get there, she had to drive through southern Oklahoma (stated for those of you who are not familiar with the geography of this area).  Now, undoubtedly most of you have been hearing about the severe drought in these areas - most of Oklahoma (but not our corner) and most of Texas.  But when our mom saw these areas with her own two eyes, she was floored.  The normally lush, green, beautiful places like Turner Falls and, well, all of the area considered Hill Country were brown - not yellow with hints of green - brown.  Crops were dead in the fields.  Signs along the interstate reminded everyone that this was an extreme drought and please conserve water.  We are so very sad for the people and animals affected by this.  So, our mom told us that while we're hot - stupidly hot for a stupidly long time - this is the last time we will complain about it (this year).  Because we could be stupidly hot AND in a severe drought like our neighbors.  So we need to be thankful for what we have. 

Now, to lighten it up a bit, here is my tummy.

Thanks to our friends who continue to check on us when our mom slacks.  We hope she'll let us catch up with everyone this week, but we know better than to promise.  We love you!
