Enjoy the walkabout.

What stuff do cats go and do when the humans cannot find them?

Take well deserved and undisturbed cat naps. Push stuff off the edges. terrorize the mice (and dogs). Howl in the moonlight on a hot summer night.

Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy. I wish I could be as carefree and wild. You got cat class and you got cat style.

Have a great prowl about!

slink down alleys, looking for a fight, howling to the moonlight on a hot summer's night, what else?

Just try catraipsing around for once!

Aimless walks...are not necessarily needless.

Here's your theme song. Get a boombox on your shoulder and strut about:

Sorry this doesn't have David Lee Roth strutting about in his bottom-less chaps....but still a good song.

They had a few good ones...including this one.

But I'll take the old band any day

Of course!

I remember the day some neighborhood kids were sitting and lying about in our buddy Steve's driveway and Jamie's Crying came on the radio and we were, like, "Whoa - what is this!" Stopped us as we were going by.

Well it was either that or Duran Duran...or Def Leopard...before they sold out.

I still have a soft spot for stadium rock. The 80's were the best. Pinnacle of America. Nothing but fond memories.

You're a bad cat! Leaving us in dark while you go play. Really though you are deserving. A well rested cat is much sharper.

I think this might be an exercise in taking what has been shared here and applying it on our own.

We might be sharper, too.

Well deserved rest, gato, and you’ll be missed - enjoy!

I hope you enjoy your time off as much as we enjoy your writings. My tomcat used to bring us a present (like a dead bird or even a rabbit one time) after he would go walkabout. Can’t wait to see what we get!

I am a tingling with anticipation.

If he doesn’t eat it before we find it, which mine does. At least partially. When he’s not picking fights with raccoons. Thug life. Enjoy it!

Enjoy your walkies! I'll make do somehow during your absence; you are on my very short list of daily high points. Memes avidly anticipated.

BTW, I don't think Frank Herbert will mind at all. He's been dead since 1986.

Frank Herbert would approve.
