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

Zorro here. Today is Independence Day. At least, that\u2019s what Mommy says. Ziggy and I aren\u2019t sure what Independence Day is, but we think it has something to do with cats.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that cats are independent. Mommy and Daddy make jokes about it. Daddy says dogs have owners but cats have staff, and Mommy says that cats used to be worshiped as gods and we\u2019ve never forgotten it.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know about all that, but we\u2019re waaay more independent than dogs. Scientists say that we don\u2019t see Mommy and Daddy as a focus of safety the same way dogs do. Even though we can take care of ourselves pretty well, we do still rely on Mommy and Daddy to give us affection and mental stimulation and to keep us healthy. And we show them that we love them by purring and rubbing up against them. Another way I show Mommy and Daddy that I love them is by blinking slowly at them. I like it when Mommy does it back.<\/p>\n

I think Ziggy is more independent than I am, though, because when Mommy goes away, I really miss her. And when she finally comes back, I can hardly wait for her to put her stuff down so she can pick me up and love me. I always greet her with kisses on the nose.<\/p>\n

Now, back to Independence Day. Since it’s our special day, Ziggy and I are waiting for our silk pillows\u2026and tuna\u2026and snuggles. Think we\u2019ll get them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
