...Monkey Pants Part Two...

The Kittenhood of the Traveling Monkey Pants


Part Two
Have you ever watched a kitten play with total abandon? Chasing its tail? Racing its own shadow? Or running from invisible foes only kittens see? What makes a kitten or cat suddenly do a back flip, or peel out with all four paws up your drapes then back down over the back of the couch like a wild fire is chasing it?


I have a theory as to what makes a kitten or cat scamper....


They're probably wearing their monkey pants.....

And every wise little monkey knows that there's an endless amount of sass in your step when you are wearing your monkey pants.

*~* And any childlike,
~*~* utterly silly,
*~*~*~* totally fun,
~*~*~*~*~ giddy,
*~*~*~*~*~*~ giggly,
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ jumping on the bed .....

can only occur if you are sporting a pair of monkey pants.
Opie Wan Kenobi, my wise, and sagely guru reminds me of this daily. He is never too "grown-up" to participate in a full on scamper up and down the stairs, nor will he turn down a chance to bat at my fingers when I wiggle them so deliciously over the arm of the chair.

He understands the importance of
keeping his kitten-like, child heart intact and active.

His imagination knows no limits. His love flows like an electrical current, just like his cattitude.

Opie Taylor wears monkey pants.

He never worries about tomorrow, or what he will eat today. He is grateful for a bowl of water, and his Tony The Tiger bowl I keep full of dry food. It is a celebration when I open the can of moist food. He knows when Dylan or Superman come over he will get a well deserved treat, and lots of love from them. He dances on his hind legs. He gives them a meow filled with joy.



The white text on the picture above marks the bottom edge of his bloomers.....

I told you he wore monkey pants.....

Animals have so much to teach us.

  2. ~~Lily...
    I wonder if they make monkey sweat pants.... or monkey spanx. Or maybe we just gotta jump up and down on the bed more. I hope you are feeling better!

    Thanks, Lily.
    Hugzz....

  4. Monkey pants; by God if that doesn't explain the American political system. While it is good for Opie to run and jump on the bed with reckless abandon our politicians would be better off if they would dress in Bermuda shorts and aloha shirts,

    It was a Good Day to be wearing Monkey Pants!!

  12. Good morning Diane,
    what a nice entry of yours.
    Yes, saw me own cat running after her own tail (probably two decades ago, thanks for reminding). Currently it's mostly my son who is running after his own shadow, playing with sunlight, coming through the leaves of our lemon trees.

  17. Oh the sheer silliness of monkey pants. If you Google monkey pants you'll get everything from Bush wearing monkey pants, bars & restaurants named monkey pants, clothing lines, toys, live theater venues, blogs with the phrase monkey pants in them, cats, dogs, birds and kids nicknamed monkey pants... You should go peek just to see the plethora of goodies filed under monkey pants. It's an education... of sorts.

    But mostly, it's a reminder, especially to myself, to keep putting my monkey pants on every, single day and approach this wonderful life with more glee, less seriousness. I know I've spent way too much time on occasions worrying over things that didn't matter, or didn't need my worrying.

    I only know this. My cat teaches me more about what kind of person I'd like to become than most people have taught me. He has a playful heart. Who doesn't need that??????

    A merry heart is like medicine. Gimme a big dose of that! Please?

    ~~~Thanks everyone for remaining playful and faithful to read. You are also great medicine for anything that ails me.~~
