Dammit Spot, QUIT IT!
Up early on a Sunday for good reason? Noooooo. Not me. My boy Spot has been
unusually mischievious the past few days and saw fit to awaken me at 6am purring, slobbering in, and biting my ear. He had been in earlier, burrowed under the blankets, and laid down face to face with me resting his head on my arm. That lasted about an hour. He stirred with a good deal of purring and the morning kitty annoyance festival was on. He was off to roust his brother out of my son's room then returned to pester me. Walking up along my ribs is rather uncomfortable when a 20 lb cat places his full weight on his front paws. The customary rooting and nuzzling at the ear gave way to snorting, purring, licking, and finally a few good hard chews to get me up. He wasn't being gentle about it either. Okay, I'm up...... now what...? Spot has been on a roll lately. Yesterday he was out to annoy Cassie, my 7 year old female as much as possible. Cassie was at the big bowl eating when Spot dropped by. He draped his head over her shoulder and crowded in to watch as she ate. He pretty much just leaned on her until she was crowded away. Cassie was in bed with me yesterday morning snuggled alongside under the blankets as normal. Spot came up on the bed and walked up towards the lump that was Cassie. He pounced lightly with his front paws just behind her - enough to pull the blanket down tight on her and make her let loose a snarly growl. Spot stopped and looked at me as if to say "Listen.. you hear what a old cow she's being ?" He poked at her a few more times till she got up and left. The look of satisfaction on his face was unmistakeable. Upon my arrival home yesterday, I sat on the sofa next to my wife and put my car keys on the coffee table. Spot jumped up on the table in front of me and sat looking at me. I said hello and reached out to pet him. He ducked my hand and immediately swatted my keys off on the floor - then give me the 'Whatcha gonna do about it?' look. I picked the keys up and returned them to where they had been. Spot stood and shoved the keys off the opposite side of the table from where I was sitting, looked over his shoulder at me, then jumped down, picked up the keys in his mouth. He carried them through the kitchen and dropped them on the floor at the entry to the hallway, then went away. All of his little misdeeds are carried out with an aura of intense self pride, a look of contentment and accomplishment. He's an ornery little butthead suddenly, he knows it, and he's proud of himself. |

Nothing quite compares to a smart antagonist who knows which buttons to push - feline or human, and enjoys every minute of it. |
