I Want a Tree Stump

Lizzie here! Remember that huge tree that fell in our yard during the thunderstorm? The Mistress hired some other humans to remove it, and they've been working on cutting it up into smaller pieces and taking them away. But sometimes they leave some of the cut pieces. And that, my friends, is the fun part. I'm talking Hide-and-Seek, Ruler of the Stump (I always win at this), sunbathing, claw sharpening...all sorts of great things. Stumps are fantastic. They smell wonderful, too. I've been trying to convince the Mistress to let us keep some in the backyard (less car noises back there), but she keeps asking me how I plan to move the heavy things back there. I thought her humans could do it. She said it was unnecessary trouble for them since we cats have three cat towers and multiple scratching posts, including her bottle tree, and that we don't need any more. I tried to argue that we don't have any STUMPS, but it didn't work. The workers seem to be almost done, too. That means the stumps won't be here much longer. Maybe if I get the other cats to help, we could push some of them into the backyard. Then it will be unnecessary trouble to remove them! Those stumps are pretty heavy, though....maybe I should get Tipsy and Molly to round up some of their friends from the nearby neighborhood....and I should probably do it today, since the workers will probably be back tomorrow. Hmm....yes, today would be good. I'm off to gather cats and save me a tree stump! Til next time!
