Tally – the Homeschooled Cat

I think I look like a dork again!  That thing on my head is a toy to play catch with.  It has Velcro on the other side.  You throw a ball and catch it with the Velcro mitt strapped over your hand.

Well, they strapped the Velcro over my head!  They had better not start throwing the balls onto my head, or I’m outta here!

On the other hand, I think I look quite dashing in my hat.  Do think I look like a movie star?  I do.

If you look closely in the back of today’s photo you will see Daniel munching his current obsession – bologny.  Maybe if I play my cards right, he’ll give me some.

The things I have to put up with.

With love from,

Tally the Homeschooled Cat
