When you are a pirate cat in training, sometimes lessons come at you from out of nowhere and when you least expect them. Take this weekend for instance. Dante told me to practice using my laser eyebeams and I was practicing and doing a good job too!!

See? Don't I look like a scary, fiercesome pirate? I was feeling very confident in myself; so much so that maybe I got a little too confident and I did not notice what was directly above me. Do you see what I mean? The Captain was above me and ready to attack! ACK!

I am proud to say that I did fight back when the Captain attacked me from above with his major whapping skillz. I think he had it easier because he took the high ground but Captain says I have to be prepared to fight my way to the top. As you can see I am getting lots of practice! One day maybe I will be as impressive a pirate as my Captain is. But wow- all that whapping is tiring!

I had to nap! I had no choice so I retreated to Mommy and Daddy's big bed and took a nice long nap. Whew! Pirate lessons are not for the faint at heart! Oh and you can see my toesies and my tummy and my tail in this picture and its Tuesday too so I think this picture is very fitting. When I wake up, I think I will go over to my best friend Bill's house and show him some of my new pirate skillz!!
