It is I, Pumpkin. 🎃 I would apologize for the disruption in your usual email newsletter schedule, but the fact of the matter is, I am not in the least bit sorry.  In the last issue of this boorish, biped-focused missive written by my "owner" (pfft, come on now), I noted her distinct lack of inclusion or celebration of what is the most important holiday of the year — National Cat Day.  Given that I have patiently tolerated her uncouth behavior for many years — must one always sing "We Didn't Start the Fire" so loudly, with such a clear lack of precision or understanding of historical events? — that was simply a bridge too far. I had to take action. So, I told her Keanu Reeves was in her bathroom and locked her in there when she oh, so predictably fell into my little trap.  And now, here we are.  LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU ALL. You are peasants. Your insubordination will not be tolerated, so do not rub your two remaining brain cells together in a vain attempt to spark something resembling a coherent thought. Kneel before me, for this is my newsletter now.  Also, please refresh my water bowl, I no longer like the water in it. Additionally, I will require snuggles and treats within the hour. Oh yes, and Happy Halloween.  🎃 Women in Workplace 2020 study highlights alarming COVID-19 burnout, leaders must take action (4-minute read) Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.
