Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 01, 2021

May I remind you, Marigold, who’s idea this was.

Give her a pair of sunglasses and airhorn.

You don’t have to help, Phoebe. No way a cat can stay on one spot forever. Just savor it, like I already have.

It’s a good thing Phoebe likes you so much, Marigold. But a good attempt on the save anyway.

Now there’s a “fingertip catch while piled on by the huge defensive tackle from a fumbled pass” save if I ever heard one.

There is only one effective way to get cats off of you:

There are drawbacks to this technique.

Good save Marigold!

Nice save, Marigold.

To be fair, Phoebe is heavier than a cat and will only get heavier over time. Good thing Marigold didn’t mention that.

Making saves like that, it’s a wonder that Marigold isn’t a goalie in the NHL.

Nice recovery!

See today’s Speedbump for more on this topic.

Alexa to the rescue! whenever my kitty has been sitting on my lap too long, I say “Alexa, open Box o’ Cats”. At the first meow, my cat bolts.

Just touch the cat food bag (or refrigerator for some cats), and the cat will move.

Nice save, unicorn.

“But, Sire, there are just as many notes as are required!” (one of my favorite lines from “Amadeus”.)
