Dueling Cats

the kitties love to torture mommy and blame everything on each other. the other day, i was printing wedding invitations and reading IMAO on the desktop computer. Minerva believes that all printers are inherently evil and should never be allowed to operate. she also believes that anything that comes out of the printer should be killed dead.

  1. Sarah K,
    I love the interplay… I had three cats, siblings, and recently lost the Yakko, who I described as “harpo marx with fur” because of his facially expressive mischievousness. The pics brought back some very silly memories. As for vocalization, Frank, I assume you mean she doesn’t make conventional cat sounds. Pay close attention, those are “words” and they will repeat when they mean something. Yakko could shake his head “no” and make a “no” like sound when he meant “no”. His sister has a consistent five “word” sentence for “turn on the sink – I’m thirsty and want attention” I hear at least once a day.
    Yes, Frank, I’m asking you to pay attention to the cat. If you can manage that, things will go easier with the heavily-armed cat mom.

  2. I miss the time when my cat was always lying on my Commodore 64’s monitor…
    Wasn’t even a monitor, but a black & white TV.
    And where else to hang one’s tail than in front of the screen?
