Cats Eating My Dinner - part 2
How naive of me -- I didn't take the dinner shenanigans the other night
seriously... Tonight I made a beef roast for DH, knowing he'd had a long week, and, yes, I admit I was looking forward to it as well -- been eating a lot of "energy bar" meals on the fly this week. Celeste is ill with a bad cold so I agreed to let her eat her dinner in the den on the sofa, so I go to take her food to her... Yes, I did tell DH before I left the table to watch the cats and not let them "help themselves." My plate was still on the counter along with a slice of beef -- in close proximity lay the roasting pan with leftovers... I leave the room... Only for a few seconds... I come back to DH chasing Omar off the table while Midnight (!!) has daintily snagged a piece of meat off the roast with her paw and is addressing it with gusto....I said, "Byron!" and arched my eyebrow over to the counter and he retorted, "But I was getting Omar..." "Midnight!!!" I say in an accusatory voice...before I can get another word out...there goes that paw again! I forgot myself, folks, and slapped (lightly, I must add) her paw lightly while I took the roast pan off the counter. She was incensed and hissed at me...I was incensed and I hissed back (can't believe I did that, neither could DH who was cracking up). I looked her straight in the eye, took up the roast pan protectively and firmly said, "Mine!" Was she remorseful -- h*ll, no! I turned to DH for commiseration, not howls of laughter, mind you...and Midnight's paw was laden with a scrap of roast from MY plate! She hissed at me!! I took MY plate and sat down at the table, finally, after applying the 10-second kitty rule contamination rule and deciding that I'd better eat before I lost more to "THE PAW." In the end, she got me back as I knew she would -- Middie is smart and vindictive and found a new place to anoint HER property (DH's countertop in our bedroom)...sigh, sometimes I think I single-handedly support those cat enzyme cleaner companies and Bounty paper towels. Stay tuned...I'm sure there will be a round 3... Christine |

"Christine Burel" had some very
interesting things to say about Cats Eating My Dinner - part 2: "Midnight!!!" I say in an accusatory voice...before I can get another word out...there goes that paw again! I forgot myself, folks, and slapped (lightly, I must add) her paw lightly while I took the roast pan off the counter. She was incensed and hissed at me...I was incensed and I hissed back (can't believe I did that, neither could DH who was cracking up). I looked her straight in the eye, took up the roast pan protectively and firmly said, "Mine!" I've been known to hiss back at Felix when he's mouthing off to me. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |
