Meet Taylor and Memaw. They are the Cats of City Hall. They tame the mice in the old walls of City Hall, and demand treats at 10, 2, and 4.

🐾 Dear Diary,

Today, I decided to clock in and help with the city’s most important business: fish surveillance. 🐠

Apparently, the humans have been staring at spreadsheets and paperwork all day when there’s an entire underwater world that needs my immediate attention. I’ve tapped the screen, inspected the fish, and attempted to make contact with management.

No response. 🙄

Meanwhile, Memaw is over here giving me the grumpiest look imaginable. 😾 She’s clearly not impressed with my work habits, my paw prints on the screen, or my decision to turn the office into an aquarium observation station.

I tried explaining that I’m a highly qualified professional, but Memaw just gave me that “I do not have time for this nonsense” face. 😂

I may need to schedule a meeting with Big Fella about upgrading my job title to Director of Aquatic Affairs. The pay better include treats, a shorter workweek, and absolutely no paperwork.

Until then, I’ll be here… working harder than everyone else, one paw swipe at a time, while Memaw supervises with her signature stank face. 🤣

Signed,
Taylor 🐾
City Hall’s most overworked employee.

P.S. Memaw says somebody better get this cat off the clock and back to minding her own business. 😹

Dear Diary,

Well, here I am, minding my own business inside this fancy Halloween cat house, trying to enjoy a little peace and quiet. And what do I get? Taylor sitting on top of my house like she’s the queen of Halloween! 🙄

I swear, that cat has absolutely no respect for personal space. I’m down here trying to take a peaceful nap while she’s up there posing for pictures like she’s some kind of celebrity.

And don’t even get me started on that pumpkin full of candy! I bet Taylor has already figured out how to steal every last piece.

Honestly, all I want is a quiet afternoon, a comfy spot, and maybe a treat or two. Is that too much to ask?

Until tomorrow,
Memaw 🐾

P.S. If Taylor falls off my roof, I’m pretending I didn’t see a thing. 😂

Dear Diary,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SEASON! 🎃👻

Today I discovered the most amazing cat house EVER! It has a giant kitty face, a candy pumpkin, and the perfect spot for me to sit where everyone can admire my beauty.

Of course, Memaw is hiding inside like the grumpy little goblin she is. I tried to explain that this is clearly MY royal Halloween castle, but she just stared at me with that look she always gives me. 🙄

I think she’s jealous because I look absolutely fabulous up here. I mean, look at me! I’m serving spooky-season superstar, and she’s serving tired old house cat.

My next mission is to investigate that pumpkin full of candy. For research purposes, obviously. 😇

Until next time,
Taylor, Queen of the Haunted Cat House 👑🐾

P.S. Memaw says this is her house. I say finders keepers! 😂

🐾 Dear Diary — Memaw & Taylor’s Office Adventures 🐾

Memaw reporting…

Here I am, parked right beside my cardboard palace, keeping a watchful eye on the premises. Someone has to maintain standards around here, and clearly, Big Fella isn’t qualified for the position.

Meanwhile, Taylor is sprawled out on the floor behind me like she’s been working a double shift. 🙄

I’d like to remind everyone that I am the senior employee, the experienced professional, and the only one around here with any sense. Taylor’s job description appears to consist of lounging, looking cute, and waiting for snacks.

And yet, somehow, we both get the same benefits package: cardboard real estate, red cushions, and treats that are always in short supply.

Taylor’s response: “Dear Diary, Memaw thinks she runs this place because she’s closest to the box. I’m conserving my energy on the floor. You can’t expect a future superstar to waste all her energy before snack time. 💅🐾”

🐾 Dear Diary,

It was a brisk fall day in Hico, and the town was FULL of beautiful people strolling by City Hall. One after another, they stopped at the front window just to catch a glimpse of ME. 🍂😻

Naturally, I gave them my best runway poses. The smolder. The mystery. The effortless elegance of a feline supermodel.

And then… the office takes THIS photo of me?! 😳

I have potential fans walking around town, and now they’re going to think I’m auditioning for America’s Next Top Dumpster Cat.

I’m calling my agent,Memaw. My modeling career is officially on hold until this office invests in better photography equipment… and possibly better staff.

Stay fabulous, Hico. I’ll be in the window accepting compliments and waiting on my close-up. 💅🐾

Dear Diary,

Well, Diary, apparently we have a NEW KID in the office! 🙄

Taylor has been busy showing off that Halloween cat house, and I’ve been keeping a close eye on the situation. I don’t know who this new kid thinks he is, but around here, I’m the one with seniority!

I’ve spent plenty of time supervising office operations, keeping everyone in line, and making sure the treats are distributed properly. I did NOT work my way up to Head Cat of the Office just to have some newcomer come in and steal my spotlight.

I noticed the new kid is already getting comfortable. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here wondering if he even knows the office rules. Rule number one: NEVER disturb Memaw. Rule number two: ALL treats are subject to my approval. And rule number three: if I’m lying down, the meeting is over.

I’ll be watching this new employee very carefully. He has a lot to learn, and I have absolutely no patience for training anyone.

Welcome to the office, kid. Try to keep up!

Until next time, Diary…

Memaw 🐾👑

P.S. Big Fella, I expect a raise for having to deal with new personnel. I accept payment in treats.

🐾 Dear Diary,

Today, I had a helper in the office. Apparently, my usual duties of supervising paperwork, inspecting cabinets, and making sure Big Fella remembers who actually runs this establishment now include on-the-job training.

The little human held the cabinet open while I conducted a thorough inspection. Very helpful. Good initiative. Might have a future in municipal government, especially if he keeps learning the ropes.

I climbed in to verify the files were properly organized, the shelves were secure, and nothing resembling a treat had been hidden among the paperwork. Everything appeared to be in order, though I’ll continue monitoring the situation closely.

Big Fella was nearby, working hard at something important. He seemed to appreciate the extra help, and I was happy to lend my expertise.

The helper and I make a good team. I provide the experience. He provides the extra set of hands. Together, we keep the office running smoothly.

🐾 Dear Diary,

Today, I conducted a thorough investigation of the paperwork on the counter. 📋🐈

I sniffed it. I stared at it. I sat directly on top of it. Still no evidence of treats or snacks.

The ladies seem to think these papers are important, so naturally, I must supervise every single page. One cannot trust humans to handle paperwork without proper feline oversight.

I suspect some of these documents are hiding something. I intend to get to the bottom of this… preferably by knocking the entire stack onto the floor.

Until then, I shall remain on the case. Literally.

🐾 Dear Diary,

Today, Grandma arrived at City Hall with treats, and apparently, Big Fella was NOT informed that snacks were being distributed. 😂

Well, that sounds like a communication problem between management and the public, because I certainly wasn’t about to turn down a perfectly good treat.

The customer offered, I accepted, and Big Fella remained blissfully unaware of this very important transaction.

Meanwhile, Memaw was asleep on the job and missed the entire operation. Tragic, really. Imagine sleeping through free treats. At her age, you’d think she’d know better. 😹

Big Fella needs to get his act together, and Memaw needs to wake up. Clearly, I’m the only competent employee around here.

🐾 Dear Diary…

Today, I discovered a new office hideaway. Madam No-Snacks keeps all sorts of interesting things in this drawer, and naturally, I had to conduct a thorough inspection. 📂🐈

Apparently, I’m not supposed to be in here. Something about “important paperwork” and “Taylor, get out of there!” 🙄

Honestly, if the drawer fits, I sits. And if there’s paperwork in the way, I’m clearly the most important document in the building.

Now, if someone could just bring me a treat while I’m in here, that would be purr-fect. But judging by the current snack situation, I’ll probably have to file a formal complaint with management. 😾

Dear Diary,

Today I found myself sitting here beside the big safe, keeping a very close eye on things. You just never know what kind of trouble Taylor might get into when nobody is watching! 😂

This safe looks pretty serious, so I suppose somebody has to guard it. I’m taking my job very seriously. No funny business, no sneaking around, and absolutely NO touching anything without Memaw’s permission!

I’ve been sitting here thinking… maybe there’s something really important inside this safe. Or maybe it’s just paperwork. Either way, I’m not telling Taylor what I think is in there. She’s nosy enough already! 😹

For now, I’ll just sit here, look innocent, and pretend I’m the official security guard.

Love,
Memaw ❤️
