Hello, my dear friends,
It’s just another summer day here at Tabby’s Place, nothing much to report. It’s warm, so all of us cats are lying around like puddles of fur, and in spite of my attempts to “liven things up” in the Community Room (for which, ahem, I have been officially banished), the Lobby is a pretty boring place these days.
Aw, who am I kidding?! Happy August! This is one of my favorite months – so many wonderful holidays to choose from. I hope you enjoyed your International Cat Day, and if you don’t have a black cat of your own to help you celebrate Black Cat Appreciation Day, I know of a handsome black tuxedo kitty who would be willing to help. That’s me, of course!
But even better than those wonderful days is my favorite holiday of all – we’re all celebrating Boots’ Favorite People Day on August 15th. It’s our third annual celebration of those very best people on the planet…you, my most marvelous sponsors! I’ve whipped up a toe-tapper just for you, to let you know how much I appreciate your love, your support, and the lap time and skritches you give me.
You’re the One that I Want (from Grease, Kitty Version)
I got purrs, they’re multiplying
But I won’t lose no control (Thanks, Prozac!)
‘Cause the lovin’ you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!
No need to get up, ’cause I need a lap
And my heart is set on you
No need to get up, I’m sure you understand –
To your Boots you’re always true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – tummy!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – tummy!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You’re so filled with affection
I could sit here all day
Meditate my direction
Feel your way
No need to get up, ‘cause I need your hands
Your petting keeps me blissed inside
No, please, don’t get up, that would make me move
This is the way to spend our time
Yes, I’m sure – now please pet my other side!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – tummy!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – tummy!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – chin rub!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – ear skritch!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo, Oo, Oo, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – back rubs!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Mew mew mew – now the tail!
You’re the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo, Oo, Oo, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
Thank you, my dearest friends, for all the love and affection you send my way. I love you back!
Your Boots
