Sparks!

I must be sizzlin' today!
It seems that whenever my Mistress pets me, sparks come out of my fur!
It doesn't feel all that great either. It kinda feels weird like I should run, and I start to, but then the feeling goes away!
How weird! I don't think I like it.
I mean, I want Mistress to pet me, I like it, no, I love it! I love all the attention, cuz most of the day I'm sleeping and she's doing something else in the living room and I'm all curled up in my bed, so when I see her, I wanna be petted!
But not if I get these shocks and sparks come outta my fur! Yucko!
I asked Mistress why this happens, and she said cuz it's still winter and the air is so dry.
Well, yes, we got snow on Thursday, lots of snow, but it's staying lighter longer so. .. why does winter have to last so long??!!
She says she has to get something called a humidifier so it won't be so dry.
Now, wait a minute! I don't want anything with FIRE near me!
She just laughed and said it's purrty complicated. Sounds easy, but scary to me!
I guess I'd rather have a few sparks now and then, then something with fire!

Today would've been Squeakers' sixth birthday. Mistress really kinda misses her. I need to knead her some more. . .I like to do it, she likes when I do it, and she makes this noise like "Mmmmmmmmmmmm!" It's a happy mmmmmmm sound too! I guess I better get my paws moving. .. oh the life of a furry masseuse!
