Were you born in Burlington?

Dr. Picasso woke up and smelled the maple syrup in Vermont. Now this was a state he could meow about. Were you born in Burlington is a Vermont saying in this state to say you’re not from around here, because Vermonters don’t consider Burlington part of Vermont. For this reason, I decreed we would not visit there. Instead we drove down backroads, and I sat up front to catch some rays, peep at some leaves, and make sure we made frequent stops.

I can’t say that I was overwhelmed with the historical spots, although the Lincolns were big cat people, so clearly they deserved a visit from Dr. P. The goats were fun to watch, and I think they were actually worshiping me, because they kept rushing the fence and bleating...

I didn’t see any cats in the whole state, which suggests that there is strong need for my royal intervention. I have reached out to my feline fans to encourage mass migration, and I am making plans to relocate my humans. Ice cream, cheese, maple syrup, and ample sunshine during the summer and fall, what else does a cat need?
