Ashton: I’m going to tell you one of my secrets. Come on over here and sit by me. I’ll make room.
Ashton: I know that some jungle cats have plants to hide behind to watch for prey. Well, I don’t have any plants because Newton eats any plants that come into the house.
Newton: I heard that!
Ashton: Well, you do eat them! Don’t pay any attention to him. This is what I wanted to show you. Check it out. It’s my own jungle cat view of the outdoors. It’s the best view in the house.
Ashton: This window looks out between the townhouses, and anything that wants to go from the front yard to the back goes by here. I get to see all kinds of things: big walking birds, deer, humans, even humans with dogs. And I’m not scared of any of them because I can see them, but they can’t see me. So I sit here all day instead of on the sofa, just watching to see what might happen by.
Ashton: Sometimes I even see a frog or a squirrel right on the window screen. When I do, I pounce.
Newton: Is she looking out that window again? Ashton, stop that. You’re bombing my photo!
Ashton: I can’t hear you. I’m behind the blinds.
Newton: *sigh*
This is how cats labor: Bring me my treats, peeps! And I expect them peeled!
