Conversations with Critters Furever Friday November 14, 2025
Walk with the animals. Talk with the animals. And how a mug of coffee became a bowling pin...
Today Critters, we would like to share an airborne domestic feline moment with you that had immediate consequences and clean up. It happened. Fast fast. So fast, in fact, that the chance of getting a video of the action was less than zero. Full stop.
Therefore. We will attempt to recreate the action in a thorough and thoughtful discussion with our Core Community Critters Jasper Kitten, Chris, and Jojo. Please, welcome them in excellent what just happened critter conversation. Take it away!
Heidi: Hello, Friends! Welcome to our Furever Friday Post. The conversation about to unfold describes events of a retrospective nature. Thank you for listening.
Jasper: Greetings, Everyone! We now present a current event and a certain historic fact at the Condo. The end.
Chris: Welcome, Critters! I take full responsibility for what just happened. The end.
Jojo: Hello, greetings and welcome and I luvluvluv you. Furever. The end.
Jasper: Chris, I would like to ask you a question.
Chris: Fur sure. Thank you for the conversation open open opener, Jasper.
Jasper: Of course. You’re welcome.
Chris: I’m all ears.
Jasper: My question is as follows: How does utilizing a full and hot mug of coffee as a bowling pin and with your own body as the ball compare and contrast with my historic kittenhood escapade of TP’ing the house?
Chris: Thank you for the question, Jasper.
Jasper: You’re welcome.
Chris: Please, let me start at the beginning before I get to the end.
Jasper: Of course. Please. Proceed.
Chris: First, I was upstairs. Then and only then did I run downstairs at top speed, gaining momentum, accelerating my body and reaching a flat out run from zero to 30 miles per hour which converts to 48.28032 kilometers per hour in the metric system, and take the crucial and consequential flying leap onto the coffee table, bowling over the mug of hot steaming coffee which spilled all over a tablet of carefully crafted notes which really meant something to our Hooman. Furthermore and then, the coffee followed gravity and spilled all over the floor. The end.
Jasper: What about our Hooman’s pants?
Chris: What about them?
Jasper: I seem to recall a rather sudden event in which our one said Hooman jumped up from a sitting position on the Couch. And then there was something about a mop and the washing machine. The end.
Chris: Thank you for jogging my memory as to that sequence of events. The end.
Jasper: You’re welcome.
Jojo: Chris, are you saying that what just happened was a simple act of Physics, generally?
Chris: Yes. And the Law of Gravity, specifically.
Jojo: Thank you for the clarification and cutting to the chase, Chris. Gravity certainly comes into play quite often at the Condo.
Chris: Yes and it covers a broad range from kibble to organic russet potatoes. Falling. Falling.
Jojo: For the record and for our new subscribers, my favorite gravitational pull is when organic russet potatoes fall from the counter to the floor. Full stop.
Jasper: Thank you for that friendly reminder, Jojo.
Jojo: You’re welcome. But. What I find especially amazing is that the coffee table had a mug of hot steaming coffee on it. Who does that?
Chris: Exactly. Absolutely. The form and function of the coffee table is a domestic wonder not to be missed.
Jasper: Correct. You were right on target, Chris.
Chris: Yes, I most certainly was. Thank you, Jasper.
Jasper: You’re welcome. Now, in terms of the compare and contrast situation to my historic legendary kittenhood TP’ing of the house, an extraordinary existential escapade, let’s share a photo from the annals of time at CwC for the edification and enjoyment of our Dear Gentle Critters and Dear Gentle Readers:
Jojo: Thank you, Jasper, this is an excellent refresher and furthermore, given that historically it precedes my Senior Adoption Furever Home here at the Condo, this is and will remain an excellent point of reference for me next to the Couch. Furever. The end.
Jasper: You’re welcome, Jojo. I’m pleased that you find it grounding.
Jojo: Yes, grounding is a good way to put it. I feel good about it. Living with cats is interesting and incredible.
Jasper: Yes.
Chris: Ditto. And until next time, Critters, thank you for being here with us for this retrospective account of my singular hop, skip and jump back onto the Couch.
Jasper: So please, stay safe and have fun out there!
Jojo: The End.

Oh kitties and their zoomies and other kitty nonsense! Mine have been behaving because the woodstove is so warm and puts them to sleeeeeep!
This Furever Friday post is a heartwarming slice of everyday chaos, told through the eyes and voices of beloved pets. Heidi Zawelevsky doesn’t just recount a coffee spill; she turns it into a shared moment of laughter, reflection, and furry camaraderie. Jasper, Chris, and Jojo aren’t just characters they’re family, each with their quirks and wisdom. The playful banter, the gentle teasing, the poetic nods to gravity and russet potatoes… it’s all so delightfully familiar to anyone who’s ever lived with animals. What shines through most is love messy, spontaneous, unconditional. It’s not just a story. It’s a hug in words.
