If I Fits, I Sits

December 5, 2025 by Jenna

You know the saying, relating to cats, “if I fits, I sits”?

Cy reminded me of this saying yesterday, when I rounded the corner to the front rooms, and discovered him laying down while INSIDE a tote bag… well his feet and calves were inside, anyway.

Despite being the tough alpha male he is, he is a very soft, silly guy as well. However, the tote bag wearing did surprise me because he isn’t usually drawn to enrichment items that some people wear as accessories, like Annie with sweatbands, Rayne with scarves, Jamie with scarves, etc.

I love a relaxed and silly Cy! ❤️

    Cy just cracks me up! He’s so cool and collected about the whole thing, too.
    Also!!! George presenting himself for grooming!!! That’s a huge step for him!

    George is usually so fast picking things up; I guess we have to cut him some slack if he’s slow with grooming.
    Cy wasn’t returning your laughs, but I hear Terry calling you in the background!
    I love that opening pic so much; like George is finally part of a group!

    Cy is a genius repurposing a tote bag by using it as a foot warmer. I noticed Cle Elum has been receiving a wintery mix, so why make yourself as cozy as possible! (Is that a past HOOT! Event tote by any chance?) Silly but practical Cy. A wise leader.

    I had the same guess as Kathleen…an inventive creatve foot-warming solution on a likely cold day! Nice to see such an important fellow taking a break from his serious responsibilities in his group for a little R & R and self-care 🙂
