Monday Morning Mews: The Sploot

Happy Monday, readers, Coco here with this week’s news mews.

I would like to inform all of you that I have indeed perfected ‘the sploot’.  Those of you who don’t have pets may not be familiar with the term, so I’ll demonstrate:

Motor Mommy recently caught me on the back of one of the living room rockers. I was interested in some birds out on the deck. It’s a little difficult to tell with all my beautiful fur, but if you look closely, you can make out my two back footsies on either side of the chair back.

I’ve mentioned here before that I love visiting Motor Mommy in the wee hours of the morning, usually around 4 a.m. She’s not thrilled about my timing. but, because she loves me, she obliges me.  Saturday morning, I decided to execute a sploot (doesn’t that have a nice ring? Purrhaps I could write a poem for Poetry Thursday sometime…?) right on Motor Mommy’s tummy.  She thought it was cute, and wished she could have gotten a picture. I even stretched out my front paws to gently touch her neck.

After a while, she asked me to move unceremoniously ‘encouraged’ me to leave, so she could go back to sleep.

I guess being cute and adorable only cuts it for so long at 4 a.m.
