Mom and I got to be part of the annual Seersucker photo today in the PA House.
I look very cute in seersucker, if I do say so myself.

I have hired a pawfice manager! Meet Carrick “Carry”, my newest staff member. 😻 Carry will be supervising the district office for me. She applied for the job by just walking into the office and since no other workplaces have claimed her as their employee, I decided to hire her.

I am in the Capitol. I made more friends today. Though I do think that Rep. Shusterman’s dog may be a cat in disguise. Very smol but also still is stinky??? Confusing.

Does your human have silly rules like “no human food”? Ask your veterinarian if a SECOND HUMAN is right for you today!

Okay but for real someone needs to give me attention or I might perish

CAT PRO TIP: If your first human is very strict about the access to the special human food, consider getting a second human. Because the second human might be very easy to bully into sharing.

Last night, at about 1 AM, I got cold.
So I did what any reasonable cat would do, which is I found the vent tube for the AC unit, detached it from the back of the AC and sat in front of the warm air.
Idk why mom got so upset around 2 AM! The room was finally a tolerable temp!
