An Ignorant Kitty Is Bliss
Thank you, Internet, for showing me that TheCat is way less crazy than she could be. Reasons why my cat rules:
- The largest thing she's
destroyed is a corner
of wall-to-wall carpet that the landlord should have replaced years earlier
anyway. (And now we have hardwood, which is
doing a number
on her tiny head, but hey - no scratching!)
- She takes no interest at all in the Christmas tree.
- She only wants cat food, not
people food. One Thanksgiving, back when I was hosting potlucks for my Austin friends
and still eating meat, I tried to feed TheCat a piece of turkey. I dished it
up, put it on a little plate next to her food bowl, and waited for her to
chow down on it, fully expecting that it would thrill her to the tip of
her toes. Instead, she sniffed it, recoiled in horror, then glared at me
as if I'd tried to poison her. It was a disappointment, but it also meant
that she wouldn't be nosing around begging while we were eating.
- TheCat has no
pee
issues.
Sure, she took a whiz in a suitcase once, but it was empty.
