Sneaky Kitty
Posted: Saturday, March 17, 2007 by Travis Cody inMr Tucker doesn't like my laptop. I usually keep it on the ottoman in front of my chair, a place Mr Tucker considers his own. But he rarely sits there...unless I'm working on something. Then he has to sit there, if for no other reason than to stop me from doing whatever it is I'm doing.
He'll sit up on the floor next to the ottoman and fuss at me. I'll tell him to wait and he'll give me the eye. Then he'll jump up on the arm of the chair and wedge his way down behind me, forcing his way underneath my arm.
Next comes the face. This is not an easy face to read. It could be the pathetic face, looking for sympathy. It could be the evil kitty face, meaning I'm about to get swatted unless I move the laptop and make room for Mr Tucker. Or it could be the sweet face, wondering how I could possible favor the laptop over kitty.
Next comes the determined 20lb cat, using all of his strenght to push underneath my arm and get where he wants to go. And now I have two choices. I can force him to get down, in which case he'll just try again. Or...
I can give him his little victory, knowing that in a matter of minutes...
...he'll have decided he'd much rather lay on the floor anyway!
Awwww, what a sweet little kitty! Animals are just precious, aren't they?
