    Flynn: “Object of my desires. Light my fire. Oh, oh! I’m falling in love.” Back in those days, old school music was fun. Fast forward, I didn’t know humanz were treated as objects of emotional fulfillment. I guess inanimate objects, such as security blankets, or in my case “baby” pillows of comfort, lacking in the return of emotional responses are replaced or projected unto other humanz.

    Kitty: You humanz are weird. I’m sure Tabby would agree that such thoughts don’t exist in meow. For we felines take each moment in time as breaths, meaning we don’t think about our actions, or dwell upon the objects, such as mice and birds, but simply exist and live as felines – perfect. We don’t desire but act on instincts for survival. Oh, look! I see a spider crawling on the wall. I’ll check it out while you sing about what you could never have – a live meal.

    Flynn: My first thought was how I have a farmer’s tan. I’m darker on both hairy forearms, while the rest of me is yellow pale. I really should get more sunlight, so I could even out the skin coloration between Filipino tan and Asian pale, and convert some Vitamin D through my skin.

    Kitty: Well, if you want some vitamins, you can try eating Tabby’s dried vitamin pellets. It’s nasty stuff but healthy food that Mrs Human feeds Tabby. And if you wanna get some sunshine, go naked outdoors and fetch me the birds that I requested in yesterday’s prompt. I know it’s still cold outdoors. But you humanz really should appreciate your furless skin and not have to worry about daily fur lickings.

    Flynn: “I’m gonna take that Sentimental Journey”. And that’s all I know of that old song. I’m not understanding this word ‘sentiment’.

    Kitty: Reeoow! Oooo! Hiss! Perhaps, you’d prefer my feline songs over human noise and go outdoors and fetch me one of those birds!

    Source: Screen

    Flynn: I have several screens needs to be cleaned. First, I’ll vacuum the parakeet feathers from off the backdoor screen. Second, I’ll wipe the television and compost monitors with a dust cloth. Third, I’ll clean off the oily smear marks from my fingertips. That’s better. Now I can see Tabby’s beautiful screen saver.

    Kitty: I don’t use dust cloths or chemical cleaned. I’m environmentally conscious and use my tongue to clean off either my fur or dish full of mush, in which case I must have my breakfast because my tummy is slightly growling from hunger. After your done, perhaps I could have you take my photo and share a screen saver. But since I’m imaginary, I guess not.

    Source: Connection

    Flynn: Besides the wish that my internet connection was faster and more secure, I often wonder how my lifestyle would have differed had my social contacts been far and wide. So far I imagine that my family and I are in the prayers of our loved ones who don’t always contact us. The only ones left who seem to care to visit and/or communicate with us, for example, are Das Squirrel, his Twit Wifey, the Civilized Engineer, Maldeath, and Malformed.

    Kitty: That’s truly sad, Flynn. We felines are never truly alone due to our telepathic interconnectedness. For instance, I could sense that the crazy cat living next door to us is having her episodes. I believe her catnip is either missing or expired. In another instance, I could tell you are preparing my breakfast. So, I would suggest you do that now, while I mediate and connect with Tabby.

    Source: Inevitable

    Flynn: I don’t understand this English word and had to look up its definition. This is one area that I can’t avoid because, for example, I have a difficult time understanding a single word in its context. And without several examples, I’m simply guessing and making up my own conclusions.

    Kitty: You humanz are too complicated. According to Tabby, only the meow exists in feline language. Hiss also exists to add emphasis to the meow. We have no need for words, except for body languages, such making ourselves larger than normal to larger felines and canines alike. Then we run away to save self. This is evitable for survival, of course.

    Source: Longing

    Flynn: I long to be free from ALL responsibilities. I’m not enjoying cooking, cleaning, driving Miss Daisy, gardening, and forcing myself to eat against my food requirements and my overweight tendencies. Is that too much to ask? I’d rather pay for prepared meals from restaurants or easy to prepare meals from microwaves, live rent-free by myself, have free electricity, and own free computers with free upgrades, and own free cars and all-day passes on public transportation!

    Kitty: You’re thinking like a cat, but not close enough. We have free range outdoors and indoors, as nature is our shelter. Rain is our shower. We don’t cook our food or clean up our mess. We have no need for electricity or any modern technological advancements. However, I do long to be my own god like Bastet and have my adoring kitties worship me day and night and offer me live birds and mice for eternity. Then again, I’m getting overweight just thinking about eating too much forever.

    Source: Divide

    Flynn: I believe in segregation, especially among the current known human races based on colors – red Indians, yellow Asians, purple Africans, and pink Europeans.

    This may sound liberal, progressive, and even Demo-cats. But this is a necessary “evil” due to certain groups cannot acclimate and shouldn’t procreate.

    Disclaimer: (There may be grey, blue, and green aliens. The orange ones are Oompah-Loompah, like Donald J. Trump. The black belongs to Stan, err, Satan. While the white belongs to Chris, err, Christ. But they got their own problems.)

    Kitty: As Donald J. Tabby recently said to his adoring kittens, I am a “unifier”. Unlike you humanz, we felines are unified for our survival against overly friendly canines and annoyingly needy humanz.

    We’re not necessarily conservative, regressive, or Republi-cats. Though we do draw our own lines by marking territories with freshly scented urine, we do get along enough for the next batches of kittens.

    As y’all will notice, we have a beautiful variety of breeds – Persians from the Middle East, Siamese from the Far East, Scottish Folds from the European, and the American tabby, the most common feline known as household pet. Then there are yellow lions from Africa and orange tigers from Asia. There are pink naked ones, silvers, blues, blacks, and whites, too.

    I don’t know why humanz play the race cards when y’all are biologically compatible. I don’t think mortal humanz and god-like felines can breed, though that probably happened during the Pharaohs reign. But that was so long ago.

    Source: Secret

    Flynn: Ssshhh! Y’all hear, see, and know nothing! The secret is too dark, horrible, and terrible to mention that humanz would be too easily terrorized, petrified, and down-right mortified. I dare not go further.

    Kitty: Hiss! Why are your mimicking feline sounds? We felines see and hear quite well in the dark. And we know that humanz are beneath our ability to sense danger ahead of time. There is no secret kept from us. For we were once worshipped as gods and, well, we are all-knowing, too.

    Source: Leap

    Flynn: a leap of faith into the unknown brought me disastrous results, being accident prone, penniless, listless, and unemployed. Yet for whatever reason, I’m still alive and grateful to serve as elderly support specialist at home.

    Kitty: I’d leap from branches, sofas, fences, and beds, and fell many times. I don’t know how many of my nine lives that I used up. So far, I’ve nothing to lose in spirit but my appetite. Now, I’ll need a soft pillow for my nap and a can of salmon this time. Thanks.

    A classic question, revisited: what are the five items you must have on a deserted island? Thanks for the prompt suggestion, Sue Perry!

    Source: Five Items

    Flynn: In no particular order: 1. Knife for defense and hunting, 2. Tent for shelter from the elements, 3. Metal Pot for cooking our kills, 4. Rope for hanging kills and tying down our tents, and 5. Matches for starting fires during the rain. That’s from the top of my head. I had a chance to view another website for the ‘correct’ answers.

    Kitty: You’re hopeless! We felines have our sharp claws to catch prey and attack other unwanted tom cats, overly friendly dogs, and annoying humanz. We have our fur to keep us warm and nature to provide us live food and water. Ropes is an option as playthings. As for matches, we are afraid of fire!
