Cynthia finds Marcy completely absorbed on the computer.
Cynthia: Watcha doing Marcy cat cat cat?
Marcy: Curating my art collection.
Cynthia leans over to see that Marcy is on her Pinterest page and is deleting every pin.
Cynthia: Aaaaaack! That’s MY art collection. Why are you deleting my pins?
Marcy: Too many cats.
You’ve got illustrations of cats,
photo art of cats,
Vintage photos of girls with their cats,
Street art with cats,
Fashion with cats,
Cats, cats, cats.
Too many.
Cynthia: But the whole point of a Pinterest page is to accumulate super nifty pics of a subject you love. And mine is cats featured in fascinating art, cool photography, and fun fashion.
Cynthia: I’ve got pics of you on Instagram!Marcy: You only need pics of me.
Marcy: I saw that. You also have pics of Penelope Kitten and random street cat art. I deleted those too.
Cynthia: What?!
Marcy: I don’t like your use of filters.
Cynthia: That’s the whole point of Instagram! Creating cool photos with filters!
Marcy: You’re not very good at it.
Cynthia: I just started it!
Marcy flips over to her Instagram account.
Marcy: Oh. darn. They didn’t delete.
Cynthia wrestles the computer mouse out of Marcy’s paws and proceeds to protect her Pinterest and Instagram accounts.
Marcy: You can change your passwords but you can’t change your pants.
Cynthia gives Marcy a funny look.
Marcy: You know what I mean.
Cynthia: This time I actually don’t.

That is, if Marcy doesn’t play art curator again. That’s MY job.
=^-^=
Cynthia: Marcy! Marcy! Marcy!
Marcy: What? Buzz Off, Cindy. I’m sleeping!
Cynthia: Marcy. Wake up! C’mon. Look! It’s a picture of you.
Marcy: I hate pictures of me. They never capture the real me. And I always look ugly.
Cynthia shoves the picture in front of Marcy’s face.

| Logo by Joanna Cheung of Rainbow of Crazy |
Marcy: Gasp! Is that what I think it is?
Cynthia (excitedly): Yes it is.
Marcy (super excitedly): A logo just for us? Gasp! I look so cute. I love it!
Cynthia (super duper excitedly): I love it too!
Marcy (exclaiming): Joanna Cheung of Rainbow of Crazy is an artistic wonder! She created a logo that is perfectly me! I am going to give her a big slurpy kitty kiss!
Cynthia: Joanna is so talented. I love her artwork and cat pendants and was so excited she agreed to create a logo for us. She was a joy to work with.
Marcy stares happily at the logo while swishing her tail back and forth.
Five hours later. Cynthia pops the top of a Friskies can.
Cynthia: Marcy! It’s Friskies time.
Silence.
Cynthia: Marcy?!
Cynthia walks into the office to see Marcy still happily staring at the logo and swishing her tail back and forth.

| Marcy n Me |
Cynthia: He may be right, too. I think I just did this at a 4th of July BBQ.
Marcy: You talk to other cats at parties?
Cynthia (embarrassed): Maybe.
Marcy: That’s really pathetic, Cindy.
Cynthia: But sometimes I don’t WANT to talk about politics, Kim Kardashian, movie stars, or the weather.
Marcy: That’s what humans talk about at parties?
Cynthia: All the time, Marcy, all the time.
Marcy: Pathetic.
P.S. Check out Gemma Correll’s website, blog, and/or Facebook page. She is a super awesome cartoonist and writer. Her illustrations are darling and funny and topical. She is a fantastic documentarian of the nonhipster everywoman who loves her pets.
