Tessa and Pia say: We kittens from long ago, who are BIG cats now remember the year we first were introduced to the 4th of July, and flowers! Our Mom said loud flowers were better than loud bangs and booms, and for once, we agree! Now that we're older and much, much wiser, we listen to our Mom on this day and stick to her like glue because we know she has a treat in store for us later on.
She makes us a big fort with blankets and boxes and scratchy things and toys that we can play with while we're hiding from loud sounds outside. And later, she joins us with a flashlight and books and treats and a brushie or two and snuggles, and then, she reads to us from kitty books she's collected over the years. We like that a lot! It turns a scary night into one, um, not so scary. We're all together and that makes outside noises not so bad.
America, we're glad you're having celebrations today. And if you don't mind, we'll celebrate in our own way. Happy Birthday!
