Vazra lies near the patio doors soaking up a wee bit of afternoon sunshine when Grendel appears on the scene.
Then Grendel lies down, careful not to disturb the black Persian who does look to be sleeping comfortably, and finally turns to look at Vazra as if to ask, “Excuse me, but is this spot taken?”
I blame it on xocobra. He delivered a healthy supply of catnip just before Christmas. The Kids, as you can imagine, thought that was a very nice thing to do. Once they were all jacked up on drugs, however, they couldn’t remember their own names or even where the fix had come from.
Unfortunately, not only do they sniff and eat the stuff, but they wallow in it like pigs in muck. Like the previous episode in which he practically bathed in it before dragging it around the house, Vazra once again found himself painted in green tidbits. Once he’d had his fill, he then proceeded to carry it with him everywhere he went, and that in turn left a massive stockpile of catnip strategically spread in every nook and cranny.
But who minds the mess? Not me. And they certainly don’t.
I kept this particular doodad for possible inclusion in the weekly Friday quiz lineup, but it occurred to me it didn’t really fit the bill as a quiz. And then it struck me! Why not use it for The Kids? Might be fun, huh? I thought so, too.
So, here in all their feline glory are the five masters of the universe with their own peculiar aristocratic titles.
His Most Noble Lord Grendel the Incontrovertible of Chignall Duntisbourne
Count-Palatine Loki the Furtive of Leg over Wallop
Duchess Kako the Lackadaisical of Frome Valley
Imperial Majesty Kazon the Venal of Heffton St Mallet
The Very Reverend Vazra the Pertinacious of Throcking in the Hole
[yes, sometimes the intarweb is about nothing more complicated than mindless fun]
