Closet kitteh

[apollinav]

This is Catherine.  Don't let the sweet face fool you.  She's a hellion.  A hellion, who's finally been broken of the pesky habit of dropping hot steamy biscuits in our living room!  Huzzah!   And she has a penchant for sneaking in drawers and confined spaces.  So earlier when hubby and I hadn't seen her all day, we didn't panic, because she hides.  But she wasn't sleeping on top of my sewing material.  And she wasn't antagonizing the boy, Moshe.  And she wasn't felting Timo's shoelaces.  And now... hours later?  We found her.  In the cupboard where the furnace is locked away.  How she got in there is a mystery, but we suspect she's been in there since this morning.  Other than being mighty dusty, she's no worse for wear, but has a hearty appetite.  Poor closet kitteh.

Moshe, our other cat, should have said something.  I rather think he was probably happy just to have the house to himself.  Moshe is the inspiration for every word I write on Crooks.  And though he hasn't quite figured out that he's neutered, and she's neutered - that doesn't stop him from giving it the old college try.  For which Catherine soundly beats his ass.

What a gorgeous cat! Your home life sounds very interesting, LOL!

Thank you!

She is a beautiful girl. She's a doorstep foundling, but she looks like a Russian Blue. And she hasn't got a tail. She has a stub. But it's a genetic thing. I worried that some tragic or malicious accident befell her until I saw a few other neighborhood cats had stubby tails.

And Moshe, also a doorstop foundling, is a handsome brute. He's a long-haired, well-dressed tuxedo cat. He's very much aware of how gorgeous he is.

It's about damn time that cat came out of the closet. It's the 21st Century; she doesn't have to hide her true nature.

Wait.

That's not what you meant?

You know, I always figured that she rebuffed Moshe's attentions because male cats have barbed penises. And well, if someone came at me with a barbed penis, I'd claw their f'ing eyes out too... But perhaps you've solved that mystery. Maybe she prefers the company of other females. Maybe she fancies pussy. Ah well.

That sounds like a Nancy Drew title: Case of the Closeted Kitty.

You should find her a stray pussy.

As it were.

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Oh hell no. We don't need any more pussy hanging around this cat house.

[miamadwyn.livejournal.com]

I do understand. We had one and one was too many.

For nineteen years.

Moshe was all sorts of put-out and idignant when we took the little Miss in. Mind you, he'd forgotten that he too was a doorstep foundling, and was perfectly content to slam the door in her face. That is until he figured out that she had female bits... and then realized he rather liked female bits.

I love my Alpha male.

19 years is impressive for a cat! Wow.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's about all I can say.

That was effing hilarious.

P.S.: Your cat is adorable.

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Thanks love! They're both cute. And neurotic. And demanding. And vocal... I'll share more funny cat stories in the future. They really are characters.

She's beautiful!

Cats are such interesting friends to have. I shut mine in the kitchen cupboard the other day, although he complained very loudly and his imprisonment didn't last for long.

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

That's what's so funny. She didn't make a single peep. And she can be very loud and vocal when she wants to be. And its a one story house, so we would have heard her... Strange cat. Beautiful, but odd. Thanks!

awe.....pets kitty

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Thanks love. But if you pet her, you had best be prepared for her to lick you with her raspy tongue.

[droxy.livejournal.com]

my cat does the same thing. it means I love that please keep petting me and I shall groom you in return. =)

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

So what does it mean when she licks my husband's shoe laces to the point where it felts itself? I will have to post a picture of her felting projects. I think she's very proud.

[droxy.livejournal.com]

Its means the same thing. Cats are not independent creatures and they live in "prides". So to your cat, you are part of it's tribe. Tribe members groom each other. The cat simply views clothing as an extension of you. My cat will lick my PJs, but only when I am wearing them and petting the cat to the point it blisses out.

Maybe your public library has the natl geographic Tv episode on cats. It's very interesting. You should see it if you can get it.

Now I need to read that fic update. I had an extremely shitty day at work and I need escapism.

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Really... now that is news to me. Thank you! That's good info I can use.

Yep. If you've had a shitty day, your spirits may be perked by this chappy. Sorry it has sucked.

[droxy.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEE- left you cookies as usual.

She looks just like Geoffrey, my friend's cat, although not only does he have a full tail, he also has probably 5 pounds on Catherine. He likes to walk around with a sock stuffed in his mouth, trying to meow around it.

And I swear Geoffrey is fully out of the closet. He is real friendly with my friend's other cat, Sammy. The two of them sleep together, play together, groom each other, and mostly leave the female (cat #3, for those who are counting) alone, unless they give her grief. My friend gets mad when I ask after her gay cats...
