mean

[mrissa]

I am the meanest meanest meanest monkey ever.

Ista's eyes have gotten to the itchy phase of healing, and so I am making her wear her conehead again. She is Extremely Disgruntled. I tried taking it off this morning for awhile, but she wouldn't leave her eyes alone, so here we are again. When I was sitting on the library couch reading, she snuggled the conehead right up against my head and draped a paw over my shoulder. Periodically, she would let out this little sad crooning sigh. Now she has made a nest of my old college quilt on the guest bed and is fixing markgritter with her imploring, itchy gaze: please won't you take this horrid thing off my head, monkey? Please? Please?

Last night she pulled Piggy into the cone with her to sleep.

It is so very hard to be the bop.

Dogs are so good at the imploring gaze. I wonder how they got so good. My cats have mastered the inscrutable stare. It's not uncommon to hear in our house: "What? What do you want? Stop staring at me!"

My kitties, especially Bella, are very good at the imploring gaze. Especially when it's accompanied by a whiny mew, or (in Bella's case) an adorable squeak.

Mine kitties alternate whining and demands with the cold shoulder, but I'm remaining firm and have not let them out into the subzero out-of-doors where they are used to doing their business.

Have you read "Max and the Typhoon"?

[skylarker.livejournal.com]

No; I haven't. Does it involve cats?

Oh, yeah. Max was a cat who _had_ to go outDURING a typhoon.
Google Max Typhoon, & scroll down to bookcase.com. There is a squiggle that I can't use on my computeratthis point, claudia/mt/archives/000932.html. Then part II is 000933.html
