Post 1645. December 5
A cat wandered into my apartment the other day, and no matter how often I sent it away it kept coming back. And yesterday it leaped into my car with me! Don’t laugh, it’s not funny. I mean, why on earth did it choose me? If cats are so clever, how come it doesn’t know I have a deep dislike of like them? Dogs, masters, cats, servants and all that.
My friends think it’s hilarious. Let it sit on your lap they say. No, I say. Take it for a walk on a lead they say. No, I say, I’d feel a right clot!
It asked for some milk the other day. I didn’t have any so I gave it a bowl of yogurt instead. It lapped it up then went hyper! Jumping, climbing the walls, somersaulting! Ok, that last part’s pure fiction, but it did send it a bit do-lally! I’ll try giving it that cream liqueur stuff next! Baileys, that’s it.
Anyway, it looks like I'm stuck with it so meeow for now!

Sounds like he'll have fun in the end and become a cat lover after all.
ReplyDeleteNo chance of that Iain! Cheers
DeleteThey're devious, these cats are. They'll make their way into your heart before you know it, so beware!
ReplyDeleteNow you have me worried!
DeleteCats know whom they want to own, you might as well give in. And do not give it alcohol, please!
ReplyDeleteMy dog liked beer so I thought the cat would enjoy a little tipple! Cheers mimi.
Delete:-) Wondering how it will act once it is full of the Bailey's stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt could be very amusing. On the other hand...!
DeleteAw, don't get the cat drunk. That's a terrible thing to do to an animal. Now be a good person and Google "How to take care of a cat," or better yet, call the local vet's office and schedule an appointment for a kitty check up.
ReplyDeleteerrr...this is fiction I promise you James!!! The chance of me giving a cat a home is remote to say the least and I certainly wouldn't waste my precious Baileys on it!y
DeleteI think the kitten has adopted her whether she likes it or not! LOL! Cute story!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking a bit that way PJ!
DeleteThats super cool and eager to know what happened after bailey's
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to know!!! Cheers Akshata
DeleteGood one Keith, I think the cat now owns you.
ReplyDeleteNo no no! Please don't say that!
DeleteThis one is not gonna leave you if you treat it with creme liqueur, next time Keith!
ReplyDeleteCrispy tale!
Haha! I'll heed your advice Anagha.
DeleteLol. Cats are clever. Meow knew that you were yearning to dedicate your life to someone ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think Meow came to wrong conclusion Sheena!
DeleteHaha! That's the way to have fun with a cat. See what it'll eat. Though, I don't think I'd waste perfectly good Bailey's on a cat. ;)
