Fun for cats...not so much for hoomins
The day before Dennis left to go back to work, he decided to buy some new
furniture for us. They are delivering it today. We got one of those Chinese step cabinets and we're going to use it for the TV, stereo and all that stuff. So, since Dennis has been gone for 3 days, I had to empty the old ugly cabinet that came with the house and disconnect all the equipment by myself. I had to carefully label all the wires to make sure I can get it all set up again. If I don't have my TV working, I freak! Anyway, so I swung the old cabinet away from the wall to get behind it. I started tugging on cords and got the scare of my life when a lizard jumped out of a hole in the back of the cabinet and hit me in the forehead. The commotion attracted Vino to interrupt his nap and come downstairs. The lizard was behind the curtains by this time and was chirping at Vino. Vino was stalking the lizard but it was hard to concentrate because of all the other temptations. Swinging cables, piles of CD's, open drawers, all cat heaven! Eventually the lizard disappeared and Vino dedicated himself fully to supervising his hoomin. He had to make sure that I vacuumed up 3 years of accumulated cat hair and lizard droppings. He had to get a bit of vacuuming for himself too. I'm hoping that I got enough hair off his body to keep the hair level in the house down for at least a little while. But Vino is far from bald, so it's probably just wishful thinking! Finally everything is disconnected, emptied, cleaned and stacked around the couch. The new stuff is arriving in 1/2 and hour. Vino is relaxing next to me on the computer table and getting up to give me the occasional headbutt. I think I've made him a happy cat this morning :-) I can't wait till he sees the new stuff...yeeeee haaaawww! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Are the deliverymen going to take the old cabinet with them? Should you warn them about the lizard? Regards and Purrs, O J |

Are the deliverymen going to take the old cabinet with them? Should you warn them about the lizard? The new stuff came but one part of the cabinet wasn't right so they took it back with them to fix. It's ok though because I was able to organize everything anyway. Unfortunately my TV died (very weird timing) and I had to get a friend to help me take it to the repair guy. It should be fixed tomorrow, so in the meantime I brought the small TV down from the bedroom. Vino likes the new stuff, we also got a long side table kind of thing which I put under the window in the bedroom. Now he has a great spot to watch all the birdies from and the waterbuffalos in the field next door. The old cabinet is outside on our porch. I have to organize a friend with a truck to come to take it to another friend's office to store it. It belongs to the house we're renting and will have to go back into it when we move out. I can't be bothered to deal with it right now because I'm more worried about getting my TV fixed. Why would I warn anyone about the lizard? There are dozens of lizards around, inside the house and outside. Most are just small little 3 inch ones, but we have two big 12 inch geckos too, one by the front door and one in the back by the laundry room. They have been living here for the whole 3 years we've been in this house. Sometimes we take Vino out and show him the big one by the front door. He always gets big saucer eyes when he sees it, but we make sure we hold him tightly. He does hunt and kill and eat the small indoor ones though. Vino's favourite sport ;-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
