El Pussy Cato

Hi every one! Who here is a cat lover?

Ok, I admit, I might, just might be, a cat lover. Having three of them does that to you. But what has inspired me to write today is Mummy Cat.

We have three cats, Mummy Cat, Boy Cat and Girl Cat. Their real names are Tiger, Obsidian and Snowflake. Usually they are called "GET OFF THAT RIGHT NOW!" or "DON'T BE DOIN' THAT!" They're not as confused as I would expect about the whole thing.
:-)

So anyway, we have three cats, and because we like cats we have a few holes cut into strategic doors, so they can get in and out of the house as they require, plus into our bed room (gotta love the three o'clock "time to munch on Mum's toes" feeling) and the lounge room. It's a cool setup that has run like this for about 6 months or so.

A friend of mine was moving to Melbourne, from Perth, and asked if we could keep her cat over night before we shipped him out via airplane. No problems! She was expecting to come over at about 3:00ish. I cleaned the house and couldn't find any cats inside, so at about 1:00 I sms'd her to give her the all clear. Windows were closed and no cats found. (Her cat is an inside cat.) No way in or out for furry little furrballs.

I sat down and started to play Diablo. Things go like this for a few more hours. (I have been on my pc on and off all morning.) I notice that there's something strange going on with light movements and shadows on the metal filing thingy I have on my desk. I stare at it suspiciously, thinking it must be the shadows from the nearest window. But they were highly defined for something that has to come through at a strange angle and then curtains.

Spot the Kitten!

This is a relatively clean state to my desk. Usually the piles of stuff are looming over me ominously. I hate it, but we haven't had any room to store it until recently.

I was so amused by this that I've trimmed the pic a bit and made it into an imagemap and used it as my desktop. *grin* Now I'm showing my geeky side.

I had to poke her with my magic stick until she came out so I could throw her out before the friend's cat arrived! She was *not* impressed.

:-)

If I had a digital camera, there'd be a lot more embellishments to this story, such as a pic of my magic stick. It's magic because it makes the aircon turn on and off, and cos cats like to play with it. And it's great for poking husbands when they're too deep into the diablo-mode. :-P
