It\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n

Zorro here. Mommy told us an interesting story this week. A long, long time ago, before Ziggy and I were even born (Mommy says 1868), British Post Office cats started getting a weekly salary. They even got a raise later. Their job was to catch mice.<\/p>\n

I think paying cats is a great a great idea. Ziggy and I are trying to think of things we can do to make money. There aren’t many mice to catch, but I help Mommy write by laying in her lap. When she gets stuck and has to think about something, she reaches down and pets me. She says that helps get her going again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ziggy sometimes helps, too. He walks on Mommy\u2019s computer and adds things to what she\u2019s doing. Mommy doesn\u2019t seem to like it, though, so he must not be doing it right. He would probably need some training before he could get paid.<\/p>\n

If Ziggy and I got a paycheck, it would be fun picking out things to buy. We wouldn\u2019t need to spend any of our money on food, like Mommy and Daddy do, because they buy us lots of good kitty food.<\/p>\n

\"Weruva\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We wouldn\u2019t have to spend it on litter, either, because we always have plenty of that. And Mommy scoops the box several times a day, so it stays pretty clean. We don\u2019t need comfy places to sleep, either, because Mommy and Daddy always let us sleep on the bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Maybe toys. Although, we have some pretty fun toys, too. There\u2019s the red one with the scratchy thing in the middle and the ball that goes \u2018round and \u2018round. And the toy lizard that looks real.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Aunt Kim\u2019s house, we have a long fuzzy thing on a stick that Mommy shakes. It\u2019s so much fun to chase.<\/p>\n

\"CatsWe even have a kitty condo with perches to lie on, hidey holes to sleep in and posts to scratch on.<\/p>\n

Hmm, I can\u2019t think of anything we could buy with our money. Mommy and Daddy already give us everything we want.<\/p>\n

So maybe we don\u2019t need to be paid after all.<\/p>\n
