Now, class… settle down. I’ll wait. My name is Mrs. Tabbykin and I’m here to inspire young minds. You might be thinking I’m awfully young to be both a working teacher and a married woman. At seven months old, I’m still just a kid, right? Also, can cats even legally get marriage or teaching licenses?
Okay, so you’re onto me… but don’t tell anyone else! No, I’m not married… or a licensed teacher. But as long as nobody finds out, we can play all day. That was my goal when I snuck into that elementary school a few weeks ago. To find someone to play with me. In fact, I was REALLY hoping someone would take me home for a play date! See, I’m pretty fantastic at making friends. I’m very outgoing and cuddly. I like being picked up and being in your lap. I love other cats and I think dogs are cool and am interested in getting to know more about them. I’m just a little floofy and extremely soft. I sometimes play a little bit rough, so I do need reminders that “hands are not toys” and need someone for whom it isn’t the end of the world if they get an occasional “love chomp” while I’m learning. But I don’t mean any harm, I promise! I may not actually be suited to a human school, but I do love to learn and explore. whatever you’re doing, I want to see and help! In fact, if you work from home, you should probably make sure your workspace has a door that closes.
The whole “sneaking into a school” thing didn’t quite work out as anticipated, but I stand by it. I mean, it got me to where I need to be in order to meet you, right? But, as the fake teacher, I declare… school’s out! Come get me and let’s party!
