And off Twitter. (or X. or whatever)

Cynthia and Penelope are standing in the middle of the apartment, their mouths agape as they gawk at the phone in Cynthia’a outstretched hand.

Cynthia: We’re on … TikTok.

penelope kitten (squeaking): omg.

Cynthia:  Are we part of the cool crowd now?

penelope kitten: i hope not.

Cynthia:  Really? Why?

Marcy hollers from up on the Rainbow Bridge.

Marcy:  Maybe you should go back to Twitter since you can’t seem to figure it out?

Cynthia hollers back.

Cynthia:  Marcy, you got us banned from Twitter when you made fun of Elon and posted a pic of you eating the Twitter bird. This is what it looks like when you try to go to our Twitter page.

Marcy:  It’s called X now.

Cynthia:  Whatever.

Marcy:  So what? So I violated some stupid “X Rule.”

Cynthia:  Elon erased us because you were mean to him.

Marcy:  Heh heh heh. I’m actually quite proud of our X suspension. Elon is such a little baby. I’m gonna go haunt his house. And Mark’s too. Heh heh heh. And I’m gonna get Steve to help me. Heh heh heh.

Marcy stalks off to badger billionaires from aboard the rainbow bridge.

Cynthia:  Okay, so let’s post our first TikTok. Ready?

penelope kitten:  no.

Cynthia:  C’mon. Let’s have fun and find friends.

penelope kitten:  i like fun and friends. ok.

PK’s Newest Novel!

In a coast-to-coast race against time,

Penelope Kitten can’t stop, won’t stop…

except for snacks, of course.

When Penelope gets invited to squeak speak at the black cat Cross Your Path Convention, she’s positively pumped. Then she discovers that the heinous Hubert Hedgehog plans to crash the party and destroy everything with his hedgehog fund.

In this not-so-tall tale of fur, fins, flippers, and feathers, Penelope must race from Los Angeles to Salem, Massachusetts to stop Hubert, but since she can’t fly, she goes the long way, and sometimes the wrong way. Yet along the way she befriends all kinds of critters, from crazy condors to gung-ho gators to daffy dolphins.

Penelope Kitten’s Epic Adventure (with cheese) is the adventure of a lifetime.

Make that nine lifetimes.
