Random thoughts about cats
Yes… cats…
Why does my one cat only ever come to see me and get affectionate when I am either in the bathtub or on the toilet? Is it because I am a captive audience and can’t get up and run after him without a lot of extra effort? And what is so appealing about drinking my bathwater while I am in the tub? There is a full bowl of fresh water just outside the door. I guess I must taste good! I also don’t appreciate you dangling your tail in there.. wet cat hair sticking to my body parts is neither attractive nor comfortable.
Why do my cats need to wait until I am in the kitchen to eat the food I put in their bowls hours ago? Why do they wait until I am next to their litter box to scratch and make messes? Are they showing off? “Hey, lookit me!! I can poop!! Be proud!!”
Why do they have to vomit on the carpet? They are 2 inches from the linoleum where cleaning it up is a breeze. But, NOOOOOOOOOOOO they have to turn their cute little heads and upchuck right on my off- white berber carpet. Little savages! And to top that off, the food they have to have (due to a urinary condition in my male cat) is an atrocious, incredibly noxious yellow color, so that when it does land on my carpet it makes horrible stains if you don’t get to it right away. Unlike the pooping, most times they wait until I leave to puke, so the stain is well set by the time I find it (usually with my bare foot and no glasses on).
I also just want to mention that today is the first day of school. People need to drive a little bit more considerately on a day like today. I realize we are all probably late because of the huge change in the traffic patterns, but for goodness sake, if you can’t make it all the way through an intersection (especially an uncontrolled one) don’t enter it!!! The people who want to turn left across your lanes of traffic will love you because you are being considerate. And if someone is nice enough to stop for you, or let you into their lane when traffic is backed up, smile and wave a thank you! And those big signs proclaiming “FREE FLOW LANE” mean you don’t have to yield or stop when exiting onto the freeway… those lanes just keep on going. So can you! What has society come to when common courtesy has disappeared just because little Timmy has to be to school and Mommy or Daddy didn’t leave early enough to compensate for the extra traffic.

SO true. Another habit my 2 have is - performing for company. I had a realtor over the last 2 days. Both times they had to crap - BOTH of them , which they never do. As you said, it’s ‘Look at me! I can poop and it’s reallllly smelly!” Oh, they drive me insane. Little buggers.
