Mittens’ best friend, Stumpy, is coming over for a sleepover, and there’s so much to think about. Mitty’s catnip cigar is subpar, he needs to make sure there’s a fancy bowl for treats, and the blanket fort has to be just perfect … and with a good view of the TV. What sleepover is complete without binging on QVC? Which is totally what tough guys do, by the way.
And then there’s Mom. She washed the dirty socks that were going to be his bed, and she went and bought atrocious litter that tracks all over the house. Poor Mittens just can’t get his paws clean enough. And we won’t even discuss the Sharpie incident.
It’s all in the life of a texting cat named Mittens. Here’s the scoop on his latest woes.
