Wrapping Up Waffles

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, look what the man in purple shorts brought us today!

KATIE:  Looks like nothing but a big cardboard box, some brown packing paper...and an orange cat.

WAFFLES:  Duh...I didn't come in the big box, Boss. 

KATIE:  Are you sure? It looks about the right size to me. All we need is a little bit of packing tape and an address label. 

WAFFLES:  Whaddya mean, Boss?

 KATIE:  Are you familiar with the phrase, "Return to Sender?"


About Today's Photos

Katie and Waffles aren't sure what arrived in today's delivery. But whatever it was, it came in a nice Waffles-sized box with plenty of packing paper.

Waffles has no idea how lucky he is that Katie doesn't know how to use the packing tape dispenser.

Wednesday Morning Cuppa Waffles

Today's post is inspired by a fan favorite from our #WafflesWednesday Greatest Hits Collection. Although the photos were taken a few years ago in our Minneapolis townhouse, our famous Sleepypods are still with us. And for the record, the white one actually belongs to Katie. (!)

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, it's Wednesday morning. Have you had your cuppa George yet?

KATIE:  George??? Don't you mean Joe?

WAFFLES:  Joe? Who's Joe?

KATIE:  Cuppa Joe? You know, coffee?

WAFFLES:  Duh. Cats don't drink coffee, Boss. Even YOU know that.

KATIE:  Of course I know that. You're the one that was all Cuppa George, Cuppa George. Which, for the record, makes no sense at all. I'm merely trying to explain that it's Cuppa Joe, not Cuppa George. When referring to coffee, that is.

WAFFLES:  Boss?

KATIE:  Waffles.

WAFFLES:  Maybe you should switch to decaf.

KATIE:  Maybe I should switch to decaf???

About That Last Photo

Sometimes the camera freezes an expression you're just not able to see with the naked eye. There's a split second where the beginning of a yawn or meow can turn a seemingly ordinary cat into–
Well, into Waffles.

He's truly a cat that can go from lazy to maniac in about 4.6 seconds.

Of course in the case of Waffles, this kind of expression is far more common than you might think. He's definitely a cat that can go from lazy to maniac in less than 60 seconds.

Waffles and His Pearly White Update

WAFFLES:  How do I look, Boss? Do you notice anything different? 

KATIE:  You're always different, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  C'mon, Boss. You must notice something.

KATIE:  AI try very hard not to notice you. 

WAFFLES:  It's my TEETH, Boss! See? They're all sparkly.  ...uh, wait a minute. How come everything is upside down? The whole world, Boss! It's upside–

KATIE:  I think that's your pain meds talking, Waffles.

Update on the Orange Boy
Lots of our friends have been checking up on Waffles and asking how he's doing after his big dental day last week. Thank you so much for caring so deeply about him, and Katie too.

He was in a little bit of a funk for just a couple of days. But he's doing great now. He's back to eating his normal meals and following Katie around. He's also been doing a lot of power-cuddling with Glogirly.

Today is his last day on pain medication and he's got just a few more days of antibiotics. In about a week, he'll have to go for another Jeep ride to the vet just to make sure everything is healing like it should.

He's got plenty of girlfriends at the clinic that will be very excited to see him.
