This cat might be a jerk

This image is from a "decodable reader" I used one day when I was volunteering as a Reading Buddy at the library.  I think I had a reaction to the red cap before even questioning how the cat was managing to hold a bowling ball and pin.  My head canon is that the cat is on the red hat bowling team and is preparing to play against a blue or yellow hat team.

 Just one of those reminders that red caps have been ruined since the mid 2010s.

The Day

      An otter sits at a computer holding a cup of coffee.  The accompanying text reads "Do not seize the day.  That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee.   Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact.  Maybe offer a polite nod.  Act casual.  If the day growls, starts, making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.
