News from the Sneaky Kitty Critic / March 16, 2020 by The Sneaky Kitty Critic / 8 Comments

Dear humans,

The moment the introverted female has been waiting for. It has finally arrived. We are under orders to shelter-in-place starting at midnight for three weeks.

The female is ready.

She has all of the treats we felines could ever need. We have the regular food, too

She has sufficient litter for us. We hope.

She has tasty treats for herself, mostly. (We were the love of her life so we got most of the treats. Thursday, she should receive a five pound bag of jolly ranchers, however. She will share with the male. Maybe. After she takes all the green ones for herself.)

She plans on working on Grave Humor for the next three weeks, in the hopes of mostly finishing the durned thing so it can go to the editor and be all sorts of ready for its release.

This is what I plan to do as often as possible until the shelter-in-place restrictions are lifted.

A brilliant idea, in my not-so-humble opinion.

When she isn’t hammering away at Grave Humor and taking advantage of the halted construction, the quiet, the peace, the quiet, the even more quiet, and the BLESSED SILENCE, she can be found splish-splashing in the bathtub reading… books she wrote?

Female, that’s not how this works. You’re supposed to go read books other people wrote.

Female just told me to shush! How dare she? I will get my revenge in the morning. I will knead her bladder and purr loudly, guilting her into staying put while I torture her.

I mean, I do that every morning, but I will do this more enthusiastically than normal.

For the record, she decided to re-read Shadowed Flame.

Once she is finished with Shadowed Flame, she is probably going to skip into the Royal States for some feel-good giggles, although she might hunt down Silver Shark (by Ilona Andrews) and re-read that one for the umpteenth time.

Stay safe out there, folks. We’ll be in our bunker.

    You’re so lucky!! I have to go in every other day. My job isn’t even critical, as if it was a first responder. Nope, I get to do data entry, as my main actual job, and whatever else is needed under management’s discretion. I need to hop to it and get a new job. ?

    We were told to work from home until further notice, so I’ll be “bunkering” down too.

    I work in a pharmacy, so I get the pleasure of continuing to work and trying not to catch this blasted plague that everyone is spreading…. Lucky me… I must rethink my chosen career path.

    I’m mostly sheltered in place anyway. Can’t believe all the panic out there, all the shelves at the supermarket empty ( they don’t have enough people to restock?) Your books keep me entertained. The Hidden Legacy books by Ilona Andrews are good also. I think you would enjoy them. Stay safe, stay healthy that is the most important thing.

      Burn for Me is one of my favorite books. I’ve read almost all of IA’s books heh (There are two I haven’t read, but mostly because of time, and that’s okay.)

    Love yes guys! Take good care of your humans, .and tell the author that she needs to make a continuation of cold flame. Would really love to find out how the tiny tigers, Ian, and the babies are getting on. ?
