I must have been tired from my flight, as I slept 9.5 hours last night—an unheard-of episode of sloth for Professor Ceiling Cat. And although the Princess came in off the tiles last night, she chose to sleep with Cyrus, and didn’t deign to be with me—a severe insult! Nevertheless, I give you her daily lucubrations:
Hili: I couldn’t wait until you came! I had a dream that I was flying with you over the Atlantic.Jerry: And what did you do in the plane?Hili: I slept.
In Polish:
Hili: Nie mogłam się na ciebie doczekać. Śniło mi się, że lecę z tobą nad Atlantykiem.
Jerry: I co robiłaś w samolocie?
Hili: Spałam.
And two bonus Hili pictures I took:
The Princess sleeping with her Giant Hot Water Bottle last night:
And this morning on the bed (not mine!):
Meanwhile in Princeton, Joyce Carol Oates has introduced her new Bengal kitten (Cleopatra, or Cleo) to her older cat Cherie. Her words:
Little Cleopatra trying to befriend the slightly grouchy older kitty Cherie, just visible in the chair to the left. slowly she is winning over Cherie’s heart by exposing her tummy & rolling over to show what an innocent kitten she is.
“The only way to win over a grouchy older kitty is by exposing my tummy. Tirelessly, all afternoon.” Cleopatra. (Cherie in shadows, in chair.)
Good morning 🙂
The Hili dialogue is 5 hours early! It’s coming before dinner instead of after I go to bed!
Great pics. 🙂
Uh oh. Jerry goes on Hili Time! I imagine it is something like australian Dreamtime.
Yep, I’m in Poland. But I’ll schedule further posts to conform to Chicago time. Hili is always first.
That’s obviously what cherry pie does to you!
But PCC – you came close to questioning her majesty’s choice! 😉
Hili is adorable, but of course she knows this.
As soon as Hili is plied with her Fancy Feast gifts, she will be all over you!
Hili looks extra cute in that last picture
The real reason professor Ceiling Cat visits Europe is because he can’t stand to be within 6000 kilometers of the pope. Which is totally understandable!
I thought the timing was suspicious….

P.S. Yes, kitten tummies are irresistible! b&
Fundamentalist New Atheists (a news meaning for the FNA abbreviation) are a dangerous bunch. The Secret Service wanted Jerry out of the country while the pope was there. He might have sent too many atheist vibes in his direction.
“The only way to win over a grouchy older kitty is by exposing my tummy. Tirelessly, all afternoon.” Cleopatra.
Some cats expose their tummies to win over others, other cats do it to get some unwitting person’s hand within reach of claws and teeth. And yet others alternate between the two.
That is the cutest thing that has ever happened.
