Oh, hello there

jadecatHi, still around. Just in one of those moods where I read lots of posts and think about commenting, and sometimes even think I have- only to find I haven't. Yeah... my brain has wandered in search of warmer weather and forgot to take the rest of the body with it...
In other news, the weekend was blissfully boring! We left the house Saturday long enough to take the hubby's car in for some servicing, had breakfast out, snagged Turbo Tax to prepare for taxes, pick hubbies car up and get a few supplies. Which sounds like a lot, but since everything was pretty much just around the corner from everything else- didn't really take long. The only problem was the weather- there was snow falling, just a little, but the big problem was the wind blowing the snow off the ground and onto the road. Made things a bit more interesting than I like. The rest of the day was pretty much playing Champions of Norrath with the husband, and some stitching while he studied and more Supernatural. Yeah, that's pretty much all I did ALL weekend, save for cooking dinner Sunday night. It was great.
However, there does seem to be a slight problem among the four leggeds in the house. Leo has recently made overtures of friendship to Kyle, by way of attempting to groom his head. Kyle seems to be ticklish and has rebuffed these overtures. This leads Leo to be unhappy. To that end he has apparently decided he has to kill the dog. The first attempt was a small pair of scissors in the bathroom, he oh so casually waved his tail around and knocked them off the counter. These luckily missed hitting the dog by about two feet. Taking note of this, he moved on to the scissors in the kitchen, and again knocked the scissors off the counter with his tail- this time only missing by about 6 inches- and the scissors opened as they fell.
Yeah, hubby and I were trying to figure out how to convince a vet that no, we didn't stab the dog- the cat did. We have, however, moved all scissors to safer, and less tail accessible locations. (which is where they should have been in the first place...)
The final assault of the evening was in form of a small green glass vase holding a few fake flowers. In this instance, Leo DID manage to knock the vase off the shelf and DID hit the dog with it. However, it is very light and only hit the dog on the side with enough force that he almost noticed... The hubby and I were nearly dead from laughing though... On the plus side, Leo now seems content and hasn't tried to kill the dog since then. :)

Date: 2007-02-05 05:45 pm (UTC)I can see cats thinking like that though.
"You don't like me? Fine. I'll just kill the dog."

Anthropomorphizing? Nah, not me. ;)
