September Ultimate Coffee Date!

Yes, you know it- Pumpkin Palooza has begun! It’s my favorite time of year, and today I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the ULTIMATE COFFEE DATE! I’ll be drinking Earl Grey tea, of course (woohoo!) If we were having coffee together, I would tell you all about our new kitten, Foxy. He is settling in so well. All kittens are hilarious and have their own unique personalities. One funny thing about him is his meow, which is a tiny, high pitched “mew.” (As opposed to Muffin as a kitten- her meow for some weird reason sounded like “ngar.”) Sometimes when Foxy gets REALLY excited his “mew” will become elongated. So for example when it’s time to eat, and I’m carrying his food to the other room (we keep the cats separated at mealtimes for now) he’ll trot along beside me, excitedly squeaking out “Meeeeeeeeeeeeeew!” It is HILARIOUS. At first Muffin was upset about Foxy, and she spent the first two days hiding in the garage. BUT! She’s slowly but surely warming up to him. She’ll still hiss sometimes- he’s a little too exuberant for her right now- but she’ll comfortably be in the same room with him as long as he’s not pouncing on her. Another thing I would talk about over coffee is books! I read ten books in August, which is a lot for me. My favorite was The Anomaly by Herve Le Tellier. I have some great books lined up for September, starting with this one: I’m about 1/3 of the way through but so far I’m loving it. The last thing I would share over coffee is, I’ve added oatmeal back to my diet! My stomach is doing well with it. Here’s the first pumpkin oatmeal of the season: Do you have any funny cat stories? What are you reading now?
