Captain Morgan the cat brought two oven mits into my bedroom doorway last

[applegrove]

night and left them on the ground. Usually it is my winter hat or winter gloves. He is an indoor cat and is obviously giving me little gifts with my scent on them because he loves me. What narratives do you tell yourself about your pets?

[hedda_foil]

1. He wants to go out?

[applegrove]

3. Ha ha ha!

[hlthe2b]

2. That every GOOD dream my girlie dog has...

is about ME!

(Ya know the kind where they vocalize, wag their tail, slick their ears back and make sweet little contented mouth noises!)

[applegrove]

12. I always think kittens are dreaming about nursing. Animals are so clear.

[lapucelle]

4. That's too sweet.. I love the cat's name!

[applegrove]

5. Pet store gave him that name. He has a little goatie. I keep trying to change

it because the real pirate, by that name, was a slave owner and a marauder my Jamaican friend tells me. But it never sticks.

[lapucelle]

13. I didn't know Captain Morgan was a real person...all I know is the rum!

[applegrove]

14. He was a pirate who retired to a plantation. Doubly bad.

[lapucelle]

15. Then the name is unfortunate... for kitty and the rum.

[applegrove]

17. When i remember i call him "Hughey" after my grandfather Hugh and the

helicopter because he purrs and it sounds like a helicopter.

[lapucelle]

16. With a goatee, maybe he can be aka Maynard G. Krebbs.

[applegrove]

18. Looks too much like Gilligan.

[LoveMyCali]

6. He obviously

wants you to get up and bake some cookies!

[applegrove]

7. Ha ha ha!

[The Genealogist]

8. That my cat leaps up on my shoulder when my back is turned to her, scaring the crap out of me

Because she thinks I am a pirate and she wants to be a parrot.

[applegrove]

10. Ouch! Mine will jump on my back when i am bent over and his claws then make me screech.

But Captain Morgan has never gone as high as my shoulder.

9. Both our cats like to sleep on our shoes

Or put their paws in the shoes to nap. Our scents must be concentrated in the stinky feet smell

[applegrove]

11. That is sweet.

19. I had a little girl cat that would take my dirty socks and build a nest of them to sleep on.
