Damn cat [View all]

I seriously don't think I'm a cat person. I guess I used to be, but one single cat has changed everything.

A few days ago there was the lizard thing. She brought in two lizards and I had to catch them and release them outside.

This morning was worse. I woke up super early because the cat in question decided she should sleep with me, and I just don't seem to be able to sleep well when she decides to join me. I guess I'm afraid I might roll on her or something.

So I got up at 2 a.m., had my coffee while I browsed the 'net, and then organized a few kitchen drawers and cabinets. By the time I finished that it was 5:30, and I decided to try to go back to sleep. I was sort of semi-conscious when I heard a cat meow. I tried to ignore it, but then opened my eyes for a second and caught a glimpse of a bird flying in my bathroom. Damn it, damn it, damn it. The bird was sitting on the back of the toilet, terrified of course, so I put a towel over it and gently took it out and put it on the deck. It flew away, which was a big relief.

So much for sleep. I had to clean up a few small feathers and sanitize the floors from the back door through the kitchen, down the hall, and my entire bedroom and bathroom.

Damn cat.
