Wednesday: Hili dialogue

October 23, 2013 • 3:20 am
Hili: Do you see what I see?

A: I see a cat lying on my washing against a background of a window with a lamp and the poster with which Justyna welcomed Jerry at the airport.

Hili: Exactly. I would prefer if Jerry were here in person.

Awww. . . Hili misses me! That cat-shaped sign has my name on it, and was held by Justyna to identify herself as my contact when I arrived at the Warsaw airport. I left it in Dobrzyn so that people and cats wouldn’t forget me.

In Polish:

Hili: Czy ty widzisz to samo, co ja widzę?
Ja: Widzę kota na moim praniu, na tle okna, na którym za lampą stoi plakat, z którym Justyna witała na lotnisku Jerrego.
Hili: No właśnie, wolałabym, żeby Jerry był tu we własnej osobie.

  1. I love the fact that cats pick strangest places to sit. On top of the drying rack? WTF seriously!

    1. My neighbour’s cat (before neighbour and said feline moved away) used to climb all over my drying washing if I put the rack outside my apartment. I regularly found it covered in grey cat hair and muddy footprints. I caught him* at it a few times – he thought that it was a fantastic climbing frame.

      * The cat, not the neighbour.

  2. To find comfort in discomfort seems to be a very Catholic idea, but I wouldn’t accuse any cat of being Catholic, so there must be another explanation.

  3. Cats are cats — whether in the US or Poland. My cat loves to climb up on the collapsible clothes drying rack. They like to “help” fold the laundry too!

        1. Oh, that stays in the laundry room until it goes in the washer. He doesn’t seem much interested in it. Though, if I toss a worn shirt / sweater / etc. on a chair, that’s the chair he’s most likely to later be found napping on….

  4. “Misses”? That is what I will do if the Hili Dialogues goes.

    No, I think Jerry has got a pHilial connection here.
