The Downside to Visitors

There's one thing Strombeek doesn't like about visitors.

When people are so excited about hanging out with said visitors that they forget all about her 4th birthday and sit outside and bbq while she's stuck inside all alone. And then she has to wear a stupid Carebear neckerchief when her people do remember her birthday, like that's supposed to somehow make up for it?




At least, she hates the part about being left inside.

Ever since Strombeek's 1st birthday, when she threw up a roundworm, the word "birthday" has taken on a sinister tone. At first the cats were excited at the prospect of this "birthday," but after the vomiting and the trip to the vet--they're now a little apprehensive when they hear the word. 

Louie makes sure to keep a safe distance while pretending like he isn't monitoring her. He doesn't want to make her mad.

But she's too busy being angry to notice him.
