Dear Allie, Ripley, and Georgie-girl,
First of all, I love you. You’re great, and I can’t even imagine life without you.
Down to business: Which one of you stole Mama’s earbud to her earphones? I know it was there Monday night and then it was missing Tuesday morning. I know I searched all over the place for it on Tuesday morning and Tuesday night. I know I saw Georgie licking her lips, Ripley being evasive, and Allie acting nonchalant.
I promise you won’t get in any trouble, I just… need to know if one of you is gonna poop out Mama’s earbud or if it’s hiding out with piles of fur under the baseboard heat or if you’re storing it in your secret hiding place for batting around later, any scenario resulting in Mama getting new earphones since all the extra earbuds have gone missing too.
Yes, Mama could use a different earbud, and she did try to make do last night with a bud from an old pair, but the bud kept falling out of Mama’s ear and that’s no fun.
So, um, …
Ok, I guess I have my own answer, since I’m pretty sure you’re never gonna tell on each other or yourselves: Wherever you put it, I don’t want it back and it’s time to buy new earphones.
Love you, girls. 
~Mama

I bet $1 that Ripley coughs it up in her next hairball!

And by cough you mean puke, because all the girls are hard core and only puke up their hair. Deal!
December 5th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Yeah. I was trying not to use words like PUKE, VOMIT, HURL, BLOW CHUNKS or REGURGITATE first thing in the morning.

I just ate lunch. Thanks.

The lengths some people will go to to get new stuff…

Smartass.
One of them really did steal my earbud! And if you can find it then I’ll give you a dollar!

To make cats confess:
Wash one cat and make the other two watch.

Pat, thank you for that burst of laughter. I’m sure the kitties DON’T thank you.
December 5th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
What exactly did you expect from cats living in France?
One for all… all for one.
December 5th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
I kinda expected to at least find a shred of evidence that the earphone was torn to bits, but I didn’t, so I really think one of the girls will be pooping it out any day now.

Dear Allie, Ripley, and Georgie-girl,
One word of advice from The DutchBitch for you. A wise friend of mine once said: “Nobody’s been let off after a confession”.
Don’t budge, don’t cringe, under a.n.y. circumstances… Hang in there!
My lips are sealed.
Love ya more!

I am now convinced YOU came over and stole my earbud! Or had Sinterklass do it.
December 6th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Yay! I can comment again!
December 6th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Thank you for telling me you couldn’t.
Now, what was that comment you were gonna leave?
