Street Prophets Sunday Coffee Hour: Conversations with Pixie [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-05-12 Welcome to Street Prophets Sunday Coffee Hour. This is an open thread so grab something to drink and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. As you know I have a 20 year old cat named Pixie. She is very vocal. If translated I imagine our conversations might sound something like this. Pixie: Mommy you need to do something! Me: What now! Pixie: Thunderstorms are coming in and they scare me. Me: Pixie I can't do anything about the weather. Pixie: Look I'm a Pampered Princess. You are my Mommy. That makes you the Queen Mum. Just go outside and give a royal decree to the weather for no Thunderstorms. Pixie: Mommy help! Me: What now? Pixie: My head is going to fall off. Me: Don't be silly. Pixie: If you don't rub my chin right now my head will fall off. Me: Sigh. (Rubs her chin) Pixie: Mommy I'm hungry. I am nothing but skin and bones. I haven't had anything to eat in forever! Me: You have a whole bowl full of crunchies. Pixie: I want my wet food. I'll die if I don't get some wet food now. Me: You are such a drama queen. (Gets up and feeds her.) Pixie: What are you doing? Me: Reading. Pixie: What type of book? Me: A mystery Pixie: The smelly old dog did it. Me: Come on a smelly old dog can't be the villian in all mysteries. Pixie: Yes they can. They are in disguise. Pixie: Hey Mommy did you know that in ancient Egypt cats were worshipped as gods? Bast was our head god. Me: Yes Pixie I do know that. Pixie: That's the problem with the world. Me: What do you mean? Pixie: They stopped worshipping us and everything started going wrong. Me: So humans need to start worshipping cats again? Pixie: Yes. You would be too busy taking care of us to start wars. So there you have it.
