Family Support

By Twinkles

I have never had any formal education, and truthfully I never thought much about it, I felt most of what a kitty needs to know she can learn from her fur momma or figure out for herself.

Since I have joined Claw however I must admit to a certain feeling of inferiority when I hear about all the cats who are taking courses and graduating from Claw University. I am going to work on getting my own degree, and I intend to graduate, no doubt at the head of my class.

My human is on the same wave length. Lately she is always mentioning courses she feels I might like to take. One of them, which she got very enthusiastic about just a few moments ago, was something called "I wish you would learn 'Twostay Offa-the-table' Twinkles!!! The only problem is that I am not quite sure what that subject is about. I think it may have something to do with the inspection of meat loaves to determine quality and content, as that is what I was doing when she recommended it to me.

Then she has also been quite vocal about something called 'I wish someday you would learn 'Twostay-outofthe Laundrybasket!' I am almost sure that has to do with the study of cat-napping in those warm soft places she thoughtfully provides for me after washing clothes. I am not sure if Claw has a course in that or not though, and I don't really know why she feels I need to study it anyway, as I am an expert in it already.

Then the male human has pointed out that a short course in Music would be most appropriate for me. He does enjoy my breaking into song at odd moments, but perhaps he wants me to extend my reportoire a little. He always says 'Good Grief!! Can't that cat ever learn 'Two Keep Quiet In The Middle of the Night?' I don't know that particular tune, but I am sure the talented kitties of Claw can help me with that.

I am really looking forward to going to school to learn new things, and with my supportive family backing me like this, I just know I am going to do very well there.
