Catcapades

The most amusing thing to happen over the last few days took place last night. Well Daniel might not have found it quite so amusing.

My cats are usually pretty good, they are both chow hounds but usually remain out of trouble in the kitchen, except if fish or shrimp are involved.

I’ve just begun cooking fish more often, and apparently Mouse has become aware of this. So last night I leisurely ate my dinner in front of the tube and she sat with her nose about two inches from the plate at rapt attention the whole time. Now I’m not a miser here – I did give her some. However I didn’t notice her disappear after I finished and sat back to watch the remaining half an hour of my program before cleaning up.

I had innocently left Daniel’s plate in its usual spot on the kitchen counter awaiting his return. Now normally they don’t do anything bad, but much to my dismay when I went to clean up there was only about a 2 inch square piece of fish remaining on the plate (the alfredo noodles with artichoke hearts were totally untouched). I’ve definitely learned my lesson – don’t trust them around the broiled sea creatures!

Poor Dan, he came around 10 pm hungry only to find the cat ate his dinner…. Poor guy ended up with a bowl of cereal. But Simba got the remaining bit of fish (happy cat!)

He is hysterical for some of the positions he get in to sleep. He is totally enamored with cushy blue pillows we have on the couch. They are filled with tiny synthetic pellets and feel really neat (wow, nice adjective). Dan caught this pose recently…
