Dear Chattery

Once upon a time in the heart of Cat City, there was a feline named Bubbles who was, quite literally, the talk of the town. Not because of her fetching whiskers, nor because of her mesmerizing purr, but because Bubbles was…well, too big for her britches. Or her litter box, to be precise.

Every morning, Bubbles would make her valiant attempt to do her business like a civilized cat, but alas, her extra-large litter box seemed to have shrunk overnight. No matter how she positioned herself, the results were always the same. Plop! Right outside the box. She would give a frustrated meow and sigh, thinking, “Well, I tried!”

Meal times were no different. Mrs. Whiskers, her owner, purchased the largest food bowl she could find. One that could comfortably feed three regular-sized cats, but for Bubbles, it was like eating out of a thimble. One big swoop with her massive paw, and kibble would go flying in every direction. By the end of her meal, more food seemed to be on the floor than had ever been in the bowl.

One day, as Bubbles sat pondering her oversized life, she had a magnificent idea. “Perhaps there’s a place in the world where a cat of my gargantuan proportions can fit in! A land where litter boxes are as big as swimming pools, and food bowls are as vast as lakes!”

With a newfound sense of purpose, Bubbles began her preparations. She marked territories on the map that she believed might have giant-sized amenities. Places with names like “Giant’s Causeway” and “Big Sur” seemed promising.

She envisioned grand adventures, trekking through vast landscapes, scaling ginormous litter mountains, and diving into food lakes. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She could almost feel the wind in her fur and the sun on her back.

However, as she began to pack her tiny kitty backpack (which, in all honesty, looked more like a thimble on her back), a soft sunbeam shone through the window, warming a patch on the carpet. The inviting warmth, coupled with her daydreams, made her eyelids heavy.

Bubbles thought, “Maybe I’ll just rest my eyes for a moment before my big adventure…”

Curled up in a giant, fluffy ball, Bubbles drifted into a nap, dreaming of vast litter box plains and kibble rain. And there she remained, a huge cat in a small world, content with her oversized dreams and her perfectly sized sunbeam.
