Get Up

From Green, 1988.

When it's cold and dark outside, getting out of bed and showing up to life is one of the hardest things. The cats never seem to mind it. When you're a cat, lounging around dreamily is how you show up to life. Getting up is temporary and soon followed by another round of sleepy dealings.


I'm not saying I want that to be my life. I'm just saying that cats make sleeping into an art form. They show up to life dreaming.


I think I'll make this my show up to life song. Starting tomorrow morning.

Update: I have been told by different people who are not connected to each other in any way that it looks like the cats in this sketch are humping.


I can assure you they are not. Not that I have a problem with cats humping, per se. That just wasn't my goal. And while you are free to see anything you want in a piece of art and interpret it how you see fit, I just want to put it out there that they're not humping, and the reason they're not humping is that they're just not humping. Can I use the word humping one more time? 

Here is the photo that I used for reference. Not humping, clearly. Laying about like cats do, clearly. Also, how cute are they? Right? Just what the internet needed... more cat pictures. Clearly.
