My late Dad would do that. If a cat was on the chair and they were watching TV Dad would just sit on the floor. Mom would get mildly annoyed. "Why don't you just move him?"
Retired lady used to be a journalist in the local paper, had an article in the paper about taking her 3 cats to the vet https://www.lmtribune.com/local-news/sometimes-prepping-for-a-vet-visit-is-just-like-herding-cats-17936167 which you can probably relate to. Kathy also wrote the article about the only county in the US with only one stop light. Tourists would come from all over the remote county to see it and oooh and aaaww evertime the lights changed. Idaho - who could understand? We were worried about voting next week with 14 precincts in the big fairground building and standing in line for house (people over 80 can't stand standing). So, like Z-Man, we went down to the courthouse where they had an early voting set up. They scanned our driver licenses and zipped our ballots to the correct precinct. Surprised to see quite a few strange people running for pres besides the two famous ones. Mikey the Cat greatly improved - why can't doctors be more like vets?
Clearly you have mastered the art of catch and tame ferals. I'm looking forward to your work with Ocelots. Jackson Milky Way Bar would be very jealous.
The feral tom that comes around that I feed on my porch, the one I've blogged about he lets me pet him now. Maybe with Sparky's passing he sees an opening.
Oldest daughter had a cat named Charlie. PIcked him out of a litter at a Wisconsin farm, raised him while the were at West Point. Neurotic - he shed most of his fur on the the flight back out to Richland, WA. Caught a mouse once and almost fainted. Nice old guy, Orange like Trump and had to live with Yorkie dog in the house. Not fair.
on the floor?

ReplyDeleteI got a neurotic one. Vet called her high-strung. Cat anxiety?
ReplyDeleteI sorta kinda figured all cats had neuroses - part of their mystique.
ReplyDeleteSandy always looks worried. She ain't paying taxes. She has free food.
