Truly new
Today, confetti on our noses, everything is new. We are bubbling champagne kittens. We are unfettered by the past. We want to believe this is true. But the truth is even better than the new.
Made of stories
I would like to kiss the New Year, but I can’t reach that high. I would like to glimpse what’s next, but I can’t open my eyes that wide. So I will simply sit here, on the floor, with the cats, telling stories.
Full house
You may be full of yule log today. You may be full of ill-advised eggless nog. Your living room may be full of Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles. Be assured: you are not as full as a cat.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Waning and Waxing
As the year wanes, fading into the shortest days, we reflect on what has passed. At the same time, looking toward the new year, we look forward to the promise of another beginning.
Precious mettle
Magicians keep secrets, but cats spill light. Magicians bend metal, but cats bend time and space. One Copperfield can escape a locked box, but one Copperfield can free prisoners.
Twelve twenty five, and you are here
It’s Christmas Day. It’s Christmas Day, and you’re here, drawn to the cats like a child to the snow. It’s Christmas Day, and our child-hearts are together, where they belong.
Together, tonight
I don’t know what tonight means to you. You may be singing carols of a great mercy. You may be hosting the Feast of the Seven Fishes. You may be dispatching an entire sleeve of Oreos in your holey sweatpants. I do know we are all here, tonight, together.
It’s everyone
It’s not just you. It’s not just Olive. Everyone is going through a hard time. Good thing we know a sanctuary.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Space Cats
Bear with me a moment, please. I’m trying to wrap my mind around an idea. I asked for it. Literally. Only, what to do with it now that I have been thusly gifted, from my spouse’s own lips, with “Space Cats?”
Bet on the marshmallow
There are people who would rather have one marshmallow now than two in ten minutes. There are people who festoon marshmallows with garland halos and declare them angels. And then there are cats.
