Epilogues: June 2024

Epilogues: June 2024

The Pops, Grandpops, and miscellaneous Poppas and Pappys have been celebrated. The mortarboards have been thrown. The Strawberry Moon has set.

June 2024 has been juiced to the last drop.

The Tabby’s Place cats hereby welcome you to the Best Summer Ever.

Oliver, summer’s sweetest orange twist

You may ask how they can predict this superior summer before it starts. But if you do, they will blink sweetly at you, the universal feline equivalent of “Bless your heart, you innocent amoeba.”

Every Tabby’s Place cat knows: this is going to be the sum of all summers.

Emperatriz (pictured in top banner) is going to embrace her role as Empress. Affogato is going to sign affidavits attesting to the glory of being alive. Uni is going to unify the disparate Suites of Tabby’s Place under the motto E Hamburgers Unum.

Rori is going to do her best impression of a Ferris Wheel. Fergie is going to petition the Supreme Court to investigate the inherent inequality of calling frankfurters “dogs” when cats have a commanding interest in the subject.

Cats from “hopeless situations” are going to throw water balloons at death. Fading kittens are going to grow up into fireworks. Love is going to lob Nerf balls at despair, until despair laughs so hard it turns into Love.

Napkin, doing her best impression of All The Angels Who Were Ever Angelic

And Prescott is probably going to run down the hallway with ten helpless humans in her train, yelling “PRESCOTT!”

But before we gallop into summer, let us praise the final gifts of spring:

Stuff We Learned: We have not yet met all the friends we will soon be unable to live without. Stragglers and strangers will arrive on our door and revive us while letting us pretend we’re the ones doing he rescuing. This time next month, we will be in love with cats we cannot yet imagine.

Show us your stuff, Summer 2024.
