The Daddy job in our household is hard. Does he just not measure up to Momma, or is the disrespect unearned?
Also, the girls share their Christmas Letters to Santa!
L: Latte [tortie/tabby lady cat aka "Kitten"]
MK: Momma Kat [Latte and Ellie's human Momma, named Kat]
The Boy: Momma's fiance, Daddy to Latte and Ellie
The Boy: You're home!
EM: Aren't YOU observant!
MK: {walking in the door after the three hour drive home from Ellie's chemo appointment} I present you Ellie Yellie Pants!
The Boy: The entire drive home?
MK: Only the last 70 minutes.
L: Oooh! I like that! Ellie Yellie Pants! Ellie Yellie Pants!
EM: Excuse YOU. That's MISS Yellie Pants to you.
L: Maybe don't let her out of the carrier?
EM: I'll #(*$ your *#(@@ing #($$ so badly, you won't want to #*$&%ing live in your @*#(ing @*## anymore.
L: That's very lively for being sick.
EM: I have CANCER, dumb@$$, I can hear and kick your @$$ just fine.
L: I guess they don't give her a sedative?
EM: I don't need a #$&*ing sedative! I need a sisfur who doesn't #&*& me off!
The Boy: Ellie Yellie Pants sounds more and more like Bear every day.
EM: That's MISS Yellie Pants to you, too! Only Momma is allowed to call me Ellie Yellie Pants!
MK: Okay! Okay! Your carrier is open!
EM: Bye.
The Boy: Next thing you know, she'll declare herself The Shark.
MK: I bet she's going to take a nap. She probably tired herself out, meowing from the backseat.
L: Why doesn't she just nap on the ride home?
MK: I'll let you ask her that.
L: Err ... maybe later. Or never.
MK: That's probably wise.
L: Erm ... do you think you could fill my fountain with water?
MK: It's already full!
L: Well, yeah. It's full of Daddy water.
MK: Okay ... you haven't had a drink of water since he filled your fountain?
L: No.
MK: Why?
L: DADDY! WATER! It doesn't taste the same as the water you give me.
MK: So you just don't drink water?
L: Yes.
MK: But the water comes from the same place!
L: I don't know! It tastes different.
MK: Okay. Here. Fresh Mom water.
{Latte drinks for roughly 5 minutes)
MK: This is ridiculous! If you're so thirsty, drink the Daddy water!
EM: {walking into the room} There's Daddy water in my bowl!
MK: You've got to be kidding me. It's the SAME water!
EM: Did Daddy refill my bowl while we were gone?
The Boy: Yeah.
EM: SEE?!?
MK: I just filled the fountain.
EM: The fountain has Latte slobber! And she always licks the ceramic!
L: SO?! At least it's not Daddy water!
The Boy: I'm going to leave if you all keep disrespecting me!
L: Do you promise?
EM: Can I get that in writing?
MK: HEY, you two! Latte, Daddy takes care of you while Ellie and I are gone.
L: Well, yeah.
MK: And you snuggle with him when I'm not here?
L: Not really.
The Boy: She's not lying.
MK: I guess Daddy will have to return all the Christmas presents he got you.
The Boy: Ummm ... I didn't get them ...
L: See?! The disrespect is earned!
The Boy: Well, your Mom takes care of things like presents!
L: And feeding us ...
EM: Exactly.

Now this is a mystery. Maybe a scientific study is needed to ascertain why 'Daddy water' doesn't taste like 'Mommy water'. Failing that, Mrs H suggests Mommy water is provided in a bottle for administration by Daddy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Big S will want to see that you care for both humans in the house. Favouritism is definitely not fair, especially on your Mommy water dispenser who has extra tasks to do. 😉
Excellent letters to the big man in red, aka the Big S.

Mom still doubts we can actually tell the difference ... she's tricky. She might let Daddy refill our bowls while we're distracted to try to get Daddy water by us! ~Latte
DeleteSorry you have cancer hope you beat it, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
DeleteDear Kat, You have not lost your “voice!” This post is a complete winner! Ellie Yellie Pants gets an A+++ for name creativity. Sending you all love and best wishes for a blessed Christmas and for remission for Ellie. 💓 Tom, Janet and Kitties Blue
ReplyDeleteMy Mom comes up with all kinds of nicknames when she gets frustrated! Hahaha! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteI 100% agree with Kitties Blue...
ReplyDeleteSending lots of healing hugs and warm wishes for a blessed Christmas and New Year!!
Cecilia
Merry Christmas!
DeleteNever lose hope, Ellie, after my good news anything is possible. You both need to give your daddy a break, he is trying. Maybe I should re-phrase that and say he is trying hard. He knows that your momma is having a hard time and it affects him too. Merry Christmas to all four of you.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! We are so happy for your good news ... and it does give us hope!
DeleteI hope Santa Paws brings you both what you asked for because cancer sucks. Merry Christmas! ~Murphy
ReplyDeleteWe hope your first Christmas in your forever home is wonderful, Murph!
DeleteIf you're gonna ask for something, we say ask for something really awesome. We love your letters to Santa, Ellie Mae and Latte. We are wishing for you to beat cancer, too. Merry Christmas to you both, and to Momma Kat and your Daddy, too. XO
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
DeleteWe're purring that your Christmas wishes come true! Sending loads of love to all of you.
ReplyDeleteSame to you and Mudpie!
DeleteWe want the same thing, we all want Ellie to beat cancer too. Merry Christmas from all of us!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
DeletePoor Ellie Mae is a bit grumpy. I pray she can beat cancer. XO
ReplyDeleteTo be completely fair, we'd be grumpy if we were fighting cancer, too!
DeleteYes Momma Kat, as I read, that is just what I was thinking too. My Mommy and I watched a family member go through this and it is...let's face it, a horrible thing for the one who has to go through it.
ReplyDeleteWe know you both understand!
DeleteDear Ellie Mae, we send you tons of healing purrs. Merry Christmas to all of you ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThere is something extra special about 'Mom water.' Trust us...we know. Sending lots of #beatcancer energy Ellie's way. 🩷
ReplyDeleteYour fur-iends,
Elsa & Wilson
We get it! Merry Christmas to you!

ReplyDeleteMarjorie and Toulouse
I think Mom loves Ellie more, but she's known her longer, and she was there for Mom when Bear died. So I get it. ~Latte
