Visiting Kitties

Wednesday, Jun. 09, 2010 - 12:39 a.m.

Yesterday, I woke up from my afternoon nap to find two kitties in my bathroom.

Earlier, I'd propped the door open to get rid of a fly, and dozed off without chaining the door.

When I got up, both kitties that belong to the downstairs neighbor were here.

Chris lives in a studio and sometimes when he's home, he'll prop his own door open and let his cats out to explore.

The calico scampered back out and down the stairs, but the black one stayed just long enough to get her picture taken:

And here she is out in the hall, giving me the Eye Lasers:

I love this building.

About an hour later, after I thought Frick and Frack had gone back home for the afternoon, I was involved in a chat with Big D, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the black cat oozing out from under our futon.

I hadn't seen when she'd come back and had no idea how long she'd been under there. Old Buddy Dave says she was talking to the dust bunnies.

Futons aren't the only furniture cats are drawn to, though.

Some recliners are cat nip, too, even though it's kind of precipitous to recline or decline when you can't see the cat.

We had one like that when I was in my teens. We had no idea our cat liked to sleep under Dad's recliner until one day when it was distended, Dad was laying back in it in his t shirt and boxers, and he farted -- and a paw reached up between the chair and raised foot-rest and patted him on his bizalls.

As I recall, Dad jumped pretty bad, which shook the chair and made the cat go hide.

In other news, it looks like band practice may be switched to Sunday for the summer.

Otherwise that's pretty much it. Have a good Wednesday.
