Just thought I'd share a couple of my cat experiences this week with you...
A couple of nights ago I woke suddenly in the middle of the night and had an overwhelming urge to check on Jethro kitty who always sleeps beside me... peeping in the dark I was shocked to be witness to, what looked like, a dead cat... laying half upside down mouth ajar and no breathing could be detected! I slid my hand under his limp lil body and shook him.. nothing... OMG I think "I've rolled over in the middle of the night and smothered him" ... so I give him another shake.. again not a flicker... with eyes welling up and blood turning cold I give him two hearty shakes which would have woken the dead... well this was what I was trying to do! On the second shake, as I felt a sob rising in my throat half an eye opens and gives me what can only be describes as a "wtf are you doing to me woman?!" look... lil bollox.. I felt like shaking him again but for entirely different reasons this time ... it's been a long time since he pulled his 'dead cat' act on me and the lil fecker get's me every time
Signed.... feeling stupid
Was sitting in bed the next day and saw a flash of ginger through the window, thought it was one of the boys in their run so had a look.... and low and behold there is this beautiful long haired ginger kitty sitting beside the shed .... well, this isn't good in our garden as my Angus goes doolally when he sees any other cat but Jethro and will get so worked up he will attack poor Jed . So, I knock the window... the lil kitty jumps and spots me... I open the window and say "scat... ger out of my garden"... instead of fleeing over the fence like the rest usually do the lil monkey lets a lil kitten squeak and runs toward the window... disaster! As I'm frantically closing the window blinds & drawing the curtains Angus cat knows that summit's amiss. He comes running into the bedroom where follows a quick two step as he tries to dodge past me to see out the window. I scoop him up and shout to his daddy that we have a garden visitor that needs seen to. Himself opens the back door and I hear a muffled "what are you doing in our garden?!" followed by some softer muffled words. The back door opens and himself says "he won't leave he wants to talk to me, he's sittin on the back door step". Well, normally this would be sorted out with a clapping of hands and a pffffssssstttt but with this lil chap neither of us had the heart to. So he gets an escort round the side of the house, all the time wrapping himself round hubby's shins, where the gate (our fence is 6ft high) is opened and he's kindly asked to leave. He does so only with a gentle push and encouragement. I was quite sad to see such a sociable lil chap leave, if Angus cat wasn't so territorial I think he would have made a good garden friend .
Signed... would it be wrong to steal a cat if it's in my garden?
