I Wanna......

Really, I wanna do it. I wanna put down some very witty words upon this page that will amuse people and redeem myself. Alas, I seem to have started dipping into a well that had very little water in it to begin with. I certainly expected it to be much fuller than this. Remember that list of "topics" I said I would make so I'd have something worth putting down? Well, just to spite me, the grey matter decided to have a great big laugh and left that piece of paper blank all day!!! *big sigh* I really wish I wouldn't be left sitting here like a great big dork with nothing to say! *a really big sigh* Ok, ok!! I hear you already. I'll stop sighing like that since it's making it feel like a sauna. Gosh you people are so picky! *si....*

Oh Fuzzy Butt pulled a priceless one this afternoon. Gil's making dinner and luckily he looked up just in time to see this strange cat outside the gate again. It first came around yesterday....actually it'd be the day before yesterday now. Lucky for us Fuzzy Butt wasn't outside so didn't see it. No such luck today as it came leisurely strolling by. Gil said, "Oh Shit! Shannon don't you dare!." Then, "Shannon Kyla!!! I mean....dammit!" Yup, she done went and slid under the gate like melted butter. This is her territory after all and it must defended at all costs. Gil goes running out the gate yelling for our sweet Fuzzy Butt figuring she can't have gotten all THAT far with maybe a 30 second head start.

A minute goes by....two. I hear him yelling her name. Another minute....two....three....four....five? Maybe not 5 minutes but it felt like it! She had gone across the parking lot! :-O Gil finally found her but he wouldn't have known she was there if she hadn't made a noise. She was behind a hedge next to the fence over there. Unfortunately there's a yapper of a dog over there as well. The noise she made was a pathetic whimpering mewl like a little scared kitten would make. LOL She was wayyyy out of her comfort zone with a yappy dog, far away from home and unable to move because she was frozen with fear. Gil picked her up and that was fine for all of about 3 seconds. She then proceeded to wiggling wildly and out popped the claws a bit to let him know she meant business and that she could walk her own big girl self back home! Of course daddy didn't put her back down. He knows how she works. Luckily it wasn't far from there to our gate, but far enough that when he walked in the front door, he practically had her in a headlock squished against his side to keep her from using said claws on him and getting loose again. Of course I laughed!

The funny part is, if she had been inside safely behind the sliding glass door she would have gone all Big Badass Kitty. When it comes to a face to face meeting, or in this case a face to fence where the dog is hiding, she gets all Big Scared Kitty! :-D She really is amusing. In our old place, she would sit in the front window watching the world go by. When our neighbors little yapper would come out, she'd get down in pounce position and watch him very carefully. That little butt would prance over in front of our window yapping his little head off, dancing around. I think he did it on purpose. I could hear him saying, "Na Na Boo Boo, look, I'm out here, watch me dance and ha ha you can't get me!!"

The best Big Badass Kitty behavior unleashed itself on the 'coons. I believe they loved working her up knowing they were safe from anything she wanted to unleash on them. A few times they were out there doing their thing and OMG the noise that came out of my sweet, lovable Fuzzy Butt. WOW! 1. It scared the holy crap out of me. 2. I seriously thought a woman was being murdered next door and within a few seconds right inside my house! That got my heart beating a bazillion miles an hour. I suddenly realize I was now standing in the middle of my livingroom looking around wildly trying to pinpoint the source of the screaming woman being murdered. I took one step and just about launched myself to the ceiling to cling there by my nails. It sounded like someone was slamming the front window trying to get in. It was only a split second but felt like longer. I figured out no one was trying to get in at all because if that were the case the window would have already shattered and that someone would have been inside with me. It was my Big Badass Kitty using her size as a battering ram trying to get out and whip much 'coon butt!

Wow....ok.....now it's a big thanks a dang lot I really needed to go through that right now and my pain level is hovering up there with the stratosphere!!!!! Oh and let's not forget I WAS starting to feel sleepy enough to maybe go to bed. Now.......*snorts* I'll be lucky enough to get to sleep at 5am, which is about 4 hours or so from this moment. *si...* Sorry......habit. :-D
