After my last blog entry, I understand that there is a dispute as to the statement that I made supposedly against Kristin. Being a teenager plus a cat, I just relay the facts of the case. I do not embellish or exaggerate, I merely express my heartfelt, often correct, totally un-skewed opinion to the facts in the related case. I mean, just look at this picture. Does this look like the face of a cat that would write a blog entry just to get a little sympathy? Of course not!
Boy, did I learn a lesson today! Kristin came home from college #2 and has decided to take over. She went out to the garage to find some of her books. As always, she brought them in and dropped them on the couch. So, when I went over to investigate what she was reading, she told me to get off her books. So, being a teenager cat, I stuck out my tongue at her. Well, you can see from the next photo that I was sent to the corner with a time out. She rolls her eyes and does not get in trouble, I stick out my tongue just for a second and I get put in the corner. Life is not fair!
Today was a great day. I spent most of the day just laying around the house resting, saving my energy for tonight. I was doing my best to catch a cat nap but Michael kept trying to figure out how to do the automatic exposure bracketing on his camera. it is so hard to sleep when you keep hearing the click of the camera. When I was no longer able to sleep, I decide to go and visit with Kristin, but she was in a difficult mood. She acts as if surgery was painful. Could not be that hard, I bet they did not do to her what they do to me at the vet – grab you by your front legs and back legs and try to pull you apart while they stick a needle in your side. Oh well, I better find a nice quiet place to sleep. How about the printer!
It was dark and scary. It was out of the ordinary. And, even though, I was falsely accused in the afternoon I thought I would make up for it that night. As I walked by the refrigerator around 3AM, I saw Kristin sleeping in the recliner. I decided that she did not need to be alone in such a dark and scary place so I jumped up on back of the chair to sleep next to her so she would not be afraid. I must have startled her because she made a phone call. Well it did not take me long to realize who she had called – the warden. She rounded the corner and said, “Boots, it is time to go to your room.” So I was picked up, promptly carried down the hall, and deposited in Michael’s office. That was okay but she shut the door on me. No roaming around. No midnight runs. No playing. Just staring at the door wondering when it was going to open. Thank goodness I received an early parole at 5:45AM when Michael let me out.
Like I said before, no matter what the decision, you can get into trouble. I stayed away and was called snobbish. I stayed close and was jailed. Life is walking a fine line between too close and not close enough.
It is very difficult when so much is expected out of you. Sometimes, it is so difficult to live up to the expectations of the family. Kristin is at home recovering from surgery on her ankle so I decided that the best thing for me to do is leave her alone for a while so she can rest. Just like everyone else, no matter what you do it is the wrong decision. About the time Michael normally gets home from church, I decide to walk out to the kitchen to see what was going on. And, do you know what I heard? “Boots is being snobbish tonight. I have not seen him all day.” Can you believe this?! I am trying to let Kristin recover and they are accusing me of being snobbish. You just cannot win sometimes.
Well, I decide that I would be the better cat so I went to give moral support to her. The picture proves my case.
Did you know that I am famous? Yes, me, little old boots who is less than a year old. I am famous. Don’t believe me, then get on Google and search the following “How to get kicked out of bed.” Yes, as of right now, I am second in all the world wide web in this search. Who would have ever believed that my blog would be listed second on a Google search. Wow – better keep writing!
By the way, if you did not notice I am #2 out of 4,910,000. Should have been #1
Have you ever taken two steps and realized, “This is a mistake!” I did today. Michael and Pat were outside watering the plants. Rebel was nowhere around, so I decided that when Michael opened the door, I was going out. He opened and I took off. In about two seconds, he was chasing me. As I looked back, Rebel was coming around the pool, running right at me. I decided that it was time to change directions. Pat caught Rebel but could not stop him. There I was with Rebel between me and the door to safety. Thank goodness, Michael caught Rebel. I missed the door on the way back in and was trapped in the corner of the house. As I was jumping up the wall trying to get in the window, Pat opened the door and hollered for me to go in. Like a rocket, I round the corner and took off for the bed. After a little while, I peaked out from under the bed hoping that Rebel did not follow me in the house. Michael and Pat were not happy. I think this is the last time I am going to go out the back door.
Test of the new computer
You have probably noticed that I have not written for a while. I am having to walk on eggshells around here because of a moment’s indiscretion. One mistake, well, one huge mistake, and I was almost a cooked goose. Have you ever been right in the middle of a good run and immediately, a nice, two and half foot tall floor vase jumps out in front of you? I am almost sure that the vase side stepped in front of me. I was in a full run, heading for the couch, and wham, the vase went one way, down. But, it did not get back up. Kristin and Michael had this peculiar look on their faces. It wasn’t good. Pat walked in, looked down, and went back to bed. The next hour, Michael was working with super glue, trying to save my hide.
I did notice this morning that the vase was back in place. Michael says it has character now, Pat was not amused.
It is a good thing that Michael is right handed; otherwise, he would be in my way. When you have the license to rule, you get to sleep anywhere that you want to. So, I decided that I needed a tan so I was basking underneath the lamp. It was warm and toasty. Just about the time I was dozing off, Michael turned off the heat lamp. Probably something to do with it being 2AM. Oh well, time to find another warm place to sleep.
