TGIF
Having pets is supposed to be relaxing and comforting.
Someone forgot to tell my cats…
An interesting thing has happened since we adopted Chester…a thing I’ve seen elsewhere in the world.
Evidently, Chester had it rough before he arrived in my bushes and was invited into our home.
Food was hard to come by…and he was always hungry.
That’s not a problem here…the cats eat better than I do.
That reality has yet to penetrate and overcome his past.
He has to eat all the time…anytime I get up out of the computer chair or out of bed at night, he thinks it’s time to eat.
If I don’t feed him, he wails in mourning, just as he wailed when he was in the bushes starving…this, despite the fact that he ate fifteen minutes before.
It gets tiresome, but love covers a multitude of sins.
The problem is that it’s had an odd effect on Miss Kitty.
She used to watch his wailing with a look of bemusement and irritation…she thought him a fool.
Since the wailing has continued, she’s beginning to wonder if he knows something she doesn’t…
Maybe she should be worried…
Maybe the food is running out…
Maybe she’s the fool…
Now, she’s wailing too.
Chester has wailed so long and so loudly about a crisis that doesn’t exist he’s convinced her the crisis is real.
Now, I have two wailing cats.
I get little sleep.
Thank God they can’t post to Facebook…we would have millions of cats wailing about a crisis that didn’t exist.
On the other hand,maybe they’d fit right in.
Never underestimate the power of one cat wailing…
Make your own application…
never underestimate the power of one wailing cat? there’s a wealth of application 🙂
don’t forget you’re the one who put great effort into coaxing the little trouble maker out of those bushes … we now have 3 cats as my daughter stopped the car for a stray in the middle of the night in the middle of the road and it hopped into the car and onto her lap without any invitation beyond the open door … i’m praying, oh Lord, please let us find it’s owner
Em,
All I know is that it’s not mine… 🙂
Michael, it could be… i’ll be happy to bring it down … lol
actually, it is as sweet as a cat can be, surely someone didn’t dump it – i really am praying we find the owner
praying for your cats’ dispositions to mellow – Lord, let it be so for the sake of Your son Michael’s tender, cat loving heart
Is this the third installment of the Roger Oakland series?
😉
LOL! 🙂
Hahahhah Excellent. Good thing they aren’t bloggers, as far as we know…. ha! The squeaky “wheel” gets the ‘grease’. Miss Kitty is a smart cookie and has learned from her street savvy former hoodlum ‘brother’. Meow.
Perhaps I should learn from my charismatic friends and stop being so timid….
“Tipsy” is back with her family – and i, for one, am so grateful… thank you, Lord
there have been no Roger Oakland sightings on the River Rd. …
although Tipsy’s owner looked a little … ?
dunno
i wonder if catnip would quiet a cat…. maybe an eyedropper of Khalua squirted down their throats?
On a serious note, when we’ve had issues with our cats, we have used Feliway pheromone diffusers and I think it helps…. Yes, catnip can be good too….. some cats are ‘angry drunks’ tho. hahhaha
There is also a place called Spirit Essences…. (recommended by Jackson Galaxy, the cat guy) that makes tinctures for various cat situations. http://store.jacksongalaxy.com/
Cats will be cats. We can learn much from them. 🙂
Oh man you had me cracking up over here big time LOL!
One of my male cats fits Chester’s description to a “T.”
I think someone short of the Master of the House should do something.
Some cat should’ve told Miss Kitty to either stop listening to Chester, get built up enough in her “Make Your Own Application” worldview, simply unfollow, unfriend or even block Chester and the whiners, lest it affect her lifestyle.
‘Cause I don’t think the Master is going to euthanize both of them. If another master was in charge, he likely would…
Perhaps I don’t do these analogies well…
Honestly, how much can we cats even grasp the “make your own application” worldview?
