Zorro and I just got back to Florida after spending a week and a half in North Carolina. This time Daddy went with us. When Daddy comes along, the car is a lot more crowded. But I like it when Daddy goes with us. It\u2019s fun having him around. He pets me a lot and calls me Ziglet the Piglet. He says it\u2019s because I eat a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1536\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car-763x1024.jpg 763w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car-1145x1536.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cats-in-harnesses-in-car.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Zorro and I have taken lots of long car rides, but Mommy told us about a cat that has traveled more miles than any other cat. Her name was Princess Truman Tai-Tai. She was a crew member on a British ship for 16 years and traveled over one and a half million miles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1535 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car-763x1024.jpg 763w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car-1145x1536.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Zorro-in-lap-in-car.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/>I don\u2019t know how many miles it is between Florida and North Carolina, but it seems really far, because Zorro and I are in the car all day. Zorro doesn\u2019t mind it much. In fact, he seems to like it. He curls up in Mommy\u2019s lap and stays there through the entire trip. I don\u2019t know how he can be content just laying around so long. I think he\u2019s lazy.<\/p>\n<p>I have more energy than that. I don\u2019t like staying in one spot for so long. There are no toys to play with and the car is too small for me to chase Zorro. So all I can do is go back and forth between the back seat and the front seat. I can\u2019t even get all the way in the big back section of the car, because Mommy has me in a harness with the leash tied to the gear shift, and the leash is only long enough for me to get in the back seat. Zorro doesn\u2019t need a long leash, because he\u2019s never more than a foot away from the gear shift. Unless he has to use the litter box.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1538 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ziggy-on-seat-back-cropped-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ziggy-on-seat-back-cropped-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ziggy-on-seat-back-cropped-856x1024.jpg 856w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ziggy-on-seat-back-cropped-768x918.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ziggy-on-seat-back-cropped.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/>One place I like to be is on top of the seat back, because I can see out the window really well. When Mommy stops, I get up there to check everything out. Mommy doesn\u2019t let me ride there, though, because she says it\u2019s not safe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1539 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cats-in-my-lap.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I like Mommy\u2019s lap, too, for short times, but Zorro always beats me to it. When Daddy is driving, I sometimes get in Mommy\u2019s lap with Zorro. He doesn\u2019t seem to mind, but I think it\u2019s a little bit too crowded.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I try to get down at Mommy\u2019s feet and she yells at me. That wouldn\u2019t be a comfortable place to ride, because there\u2019s pedals down there that Mommy is always pressing with her feet. Mommy has her purse down there, too, so there\u2019s not much room. It\u2019s really not a good place to sleep. But Mommy has made it off limits, so that makes it irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>Soon we\u2019re heading back to North Carolina, but it\u2019ll be just us and Mommy. Another long car ride. Even though Princess Truman Tai-Tai holds the world record for miles traveled by a cat, I think Zorro and I are going to catch up with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy&#8217;s blog!
