For once, Mr. Whiskers was silent.

I was relieved. Honestly, it’s not easy living with someone who feels the need to express every opinion the moment he has it. But the relief lasted only a moment.

“Is everything all right, Mr. Whiskers?” I asked, with genuine concern. The quietude was so rare I began to worry after my cat’s health.

He didn’t respond, but stared pointedly at the suitcase I was packing on the bed.

Ahhhhhh….he didn’t need to say a word afterall. I knew exactly what he was thinking. Meanwhile, my own thoughts were far away at my little house by shore. I was about to spend another summer weekend away, lounging in a sunny hammock on the porch, reading with my toes in the sand under a big umbrella, cooling off in the waves. My cozy little beach cottage is the perfect place to unwind and get away from it all.

“Well," I harrumphed. "What do YOU need to get away from? It’s not like you’re doing any of the heavy lifting around here,” I noted, while continuing to tuck several pairs of well-worn madras shorts into my luggage.

Mr. Whiskers turned away from me. He wasn't just quiet; I was getting the silent treatment. I gathered from his frosty demeanor he didn’t agree with my conclusion about a cat’s need, or lack of it, to get away from it all.

That stopped me for a moment. Maybe I hadn’t thought of things from Mr. Whiskers’ perspective. Maybe we all need a vacation from routine. Even cats.

“Well,” I began, pointing out what I thought was the obvious problem with his complaint. “It’s not like there are beach cottages for cats.” I looked down and realized I was using the bathing suit that was still in my right hand for emphasis, and placed it neatly amongst my t-shirts.

And with that, Mr. Whiskers put an end to his short-lived silence. He bounded down from his imperious perch on the dresser with raucous yowl and flipped open my laptop with his paw.
