Big News From Mocha
After that recent video post of me and the Baby, I felt a need to write a follow-up. Yes, I did let the child pull my tail. No, I didn’t bite him or jump away. Truth is, I just decided that I was going to hold my ground. Let him pull my tail if he wants, I will not give up my well-earned throne on the couch!
It was a Sunday afternoon, for crying out loud. Isn’t a cat entitled to a Sabbath rest without the whole world suggesting that she’s somehow “surrendered” to the baby?
Besides, there’s really no need for me to feel threatened by the Baby. I have proof that my people still love me. You see, Amy’s editor at Revell is compiling a book with short stories about cats, and Amy was asked if she’d like to contribute a piece. So she created a charming verbal montage about the early life of Mocha the Cat entitled “A Mocha’s Just What I Needed.” (And really, anything with me as the central character is bound to sparkle, don’t you think?)
So stay tuned for A Dickens of a Cat: And Other Stories of the Cats We Love. I would order two copies if I were you; one for yourself and one to give to a dog-lover. Once they read about me, I’m sure they’ll convert.
Breaking News: Cat Surrenders to baby. Film at 11:00.
Well, since it’s 11:00 somewhere, here’s the video:

The camera ran out of space, so I ended up catching only 11 seconds of Noah torturing playing with Mocha. Mocha apparently decided it wasn’t worth the effort to move. Or (and equally possible) she’s just given up all hope that we’ll return Noah whatever place we picked him up at.
Either way, she just didn’t care anymore, and boy, did he have a good time pulling her tail.
