Good Day, Humans.
What a to-do last night!
I believe there was some kind of madness in the air.
Tiny humans running door to door,
shrieking and calling for treats.

The scene at this establishment last night. Why ever did young humans interpret this as an invitation? Sssssssilly humansss! |
Or was it tricks?
I don't remember.
Anyway, who cares?
I was disturbed from my siesta.
Today, I must recover.
I shall lie down here and rest.
I will think of Eliot's wise words,
and listen to beautiful music.
Thank gods it's FreyaDay!
“With Cats, some say, one rule is true:
Don’t speak till you are spoken to.
Myself, I do not hold with that —
I say, you should ad-dress a Cat.
But always keep in mind that he
Resents familiarity.
I bow, and taking off my hat,
Ad-dress him in this form: O Cat!
But if he is the Cat next door,
Whom I have often met before
(He comes to see me in my flat)
I greet him with an oopsa Cat!
I think I've heard them call him James —
But we've not got so far as names.”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
