I love my creature comforts

Dexter told Delilah that he is so happy that the colder weather has arrived. This means he can now lounge by the fire and enjoy a lengthy cat nap his bed. He invited Delilah to join him, but she couldn't find room.

Dexter told Delilah that he needs to do lots of sleeping today because tonight is a busy night for him. It's Halloween and he loves running to the front door every time the door bell rings to check out the kids in their costumes. Delilah, shocked, announced that she will be spending tonight hiding in the basement!

I just couldn't resist

Dexter told Delilah that he just couldn't resist jumping onto the countertop to watch an especially interesting bird, but he also cautioned her that she should not do as he does. It was an extremely risky thing to do because he has been told over and over again NOT to climb on the counters. He admits he had a moment of weakness this morning because this amazing bird was flying around teasing and tempting him. What is a cat supposed to do in the face of so much temptation.

Delilah listened and heeded his advice, but to her it is much easier. She isn't big enough to jump on the counters no matter how many tempting treats are on offer - yet!

Keep your tootsies soft and pink

Dexter told Delilah that the bottoms of your paws can get really gnarly if you don't take care of them. He recommends that Delilah take care to keep them soft and shiny pink by using her sandpaper-like tongue to massage her toes every day. Then he had a better idea. He suggested that Delilah take care of his toes and he would take care of hers. That way they both get a bit of pampering.

Delilah agreed even though her feet are so much smaller and less work than Dexter's are. She knows she needs to keep her paws soft because she gives Mommy a massage every morning before breakfast and she knows Mommy likes it best when the paws are soft.
