I had to explain to Zerlina why I had to stop playing with her this morning, even though she had her whiskers forward and tail twitching, ready for more!

"Mrrrrk!" (mom play some more)

"I can't, sweetie. I have to get ready for work."

"Myrrk?"

"Um, let's see.... It's like, if you were a barn cat and had to catch rats and mice for your food."

Guess I better get back to chasing the mice.
