Precious
Princess Penelope
An Affectionate Ode About My Kitty
And My
Ginger Sprout Of Unknown Shape And
Form
By Izzy Ess Of Cattiness
Meticulously, my own kitty, PPP,
that’s Pee-Pee-Pee, for Precious Princess Penelope, is licking every hair upon
her body of magnificently coloured fur.
She is a Calico and has those spots of umber, black and white upon her
body, symmetrically arranged from birth to simulate a Native Canadian
Chieftain. She has those big green cat’s
eyes with vertical pupils which can mesmerize a fly before she eats it. I think she’s full-sized now, at
approximately 18 months of age. About
two months ago, she stopped her active moving and didn’t eat or drink the food
and water I put out for her. She didn’t
even talk to me, when I was learning how to speak her language and to glean her
meaning from her loud and soft meows.
Two days later, she did greet me at the door and then she showed me a
big belly that she’d never had before.
In about four weeks, she’d lost the belly and she runs and jumps like
she used to. I’m happy to see her happy
and active, for she is my only room-mate save for all my plants which now have
just reforestrated my whole bathroom. I
talk a lot. I’ve had a serious talk with
all my plants. I say, “If you don’t
flourish, I will throw you out!” Most of
them have flourished, even my own ginger tree which surprised me and threw up a
shoot that’s over 14 inches tall, today, and growing, still. Incidentally, Pee-Pee has already had her ten
full minutes of her craziness where she runs wildly, sometimes into walls and
doors, before she settles down to bathe and then, she will be ready for a sleep
for some five or six hours, or more, before she does awake and go for food and
water. Her craziness comes afterwards
and then she starts, anew, a half day cycle of activities, including sleep. It’s the greatest when I am asleep and she
has crawled upon my chest to sleep and share our body heats. I’m sure my snoring doesn’t bother her, at
all…
