Several years ago, we invited another couple over. They’d never been to our house before. We were in the living room, playing cards, and we got to talking about our cat. They asked if Dusty had ever brought a live critter into the house. “No, but she does ring the doorbell when she wants in.” Right on cue, Bing Bong! I opened the door, and Dusty came in, carrying a mourning dove. She set it down, and it flew away. The dove and Dusty did three frantic laps around the living room. I opened the storm door, and the dove flew out with Dusty in hot pursuit.
Dave and Lisa never came over to our house again.
Lunabrat (the black one) isn’t right in the head.
She slipped into the bedroom today and woke me up by frantically drumming on my butt with both front paws. When I shoved her away, she positioned herself right over my head and began purring and drooling in my ear.
I tossed her out of the bedroom and went back to sleep. When I got up a little while ago and went into the kitchen, there was kitty barf in my sandal. :rolleyes:
Just remembered another one, though words really can’t do it justice. I bought about 5 pounds of shrimp from the butcher, so they were snuggly wrapped in butcher paper. I left the package on the kitchen bar, which separated the kitchen from the dining area.
My cat Cringer, who was a big cat and definitely on the tubby side, pounced on the package, dropped to the floor with it, and proceeded to drag it off to beneath the dining table. When I say “dropped to the floor with it,” I mean he was clearly surprised by the weight of this delicious-smelling package, and he fell with it to the floor as he was attached to it with his teeth.
He landed on top of the package and dragged it lion-with-dead-gazelle style, with the package underneath his body. The package was too wide, though, to accommodate his legs, so it was the most exaggerated waddle I’ve ever seen any animal do, including geese.
If I may translate?
(Mom! Mom! Something bad happened when I was lying on your sandals! Come quick!)
(Okay, I know you need your sleep…but if you find a mess later on, just remember how much I love you.)
