So Sweet

Dammit Cat,

Why are you so incredibly sweet and well-behaved when company is over? You're social too, which you never are with us. You were quiet and sweet and nobody will believe me now when I tell them how naughty and loud you can be. No, you just HAVE to prove me wrong by going in the middle of a group of people and then rolling over for belly rubs. You NEVER come over for pets! Ever!

Seriously, did you just do that so I'd look like some kind of awful liar when I talked about how aloof and noisy you are? You did, didn't you?

Slip and Slide

Dammit Cat,

Photobucket
What is this?
Photobucket
Is that....
Photobucket
Oh God that's water. Everywhere.
Photobucket
Yes, I see how very, very proud you are of yourself. We STILL don't need a slip and slide in the kitchen though!


(A little explanation......
Photobucket
That green thing with the arrow to it? That's the little holder for the water bowl. Each of those piece of tile is 12" across. It was EVERYWHERE.)

Cruel To Be Kind

Dammit Cat,

Why is it that the only dog that you are nice to is Boudreaux? He's the only dog that cannot possibly stand you, and he is the only one that you have never jumped on, been licking and then bit, or outright run over.

I understand why you bite Abby-you'll be grooming her and she'll turn to lick you in the face, no matter how many times you try to move away.

I understand that Bella and Jackson are sometimes casualties as they get in the way of your little racetrack around the first floor.

But you go out of your way to be nice to Boudreaux even though he can't stand it. You rub on him. You lick him. He growls and tries to get away.

Is it because you know that nothing else in the world could annoy him more than you being sweet to him? Or is it because you want him to look like the bad guy for trying to flee when you nuzzle up against him?



(Sorry for the late update, I got my days mixed up after a trip.)

Clever Girl

Dammit Cat,

That window is solid. It was solid when you jumped into it face first five minutes ago, trying to get to that lizard. It was still solid three minutes ago, when you did the same thing. So why did you jump face first into it again just now?

At least you're jumping at slightly different spots each time, but frankly that just makes me think of the raptors in Jurassic Park. One day you will find that weakness and bust the glass, or the window will be open and you'll knock the screen out.

Until that day, just keep trying. Not like you need those brain cells or anything.
