Tails of a Mad House Cat


I often share stories about Kristen , my crazy cat. There is one craziness I have never shared.

Kristen will not put her head in a cat bowl or dish to eat. She paws out a bite or two onto the floor and then eats it.

Emily has been able to pet Kristen a little more lately. Emily has to be very very quite and just pet her a few times and then walk away. Kristen does not like the girls talking or moving around her.

A friend asked me recently," who watches Kristen when ya'll travel?" I replied, "the Lord." That is the truth. We can leave her days on end and she is fine.

LOL- We had some hit and misses with our kids and cats after they were born, but my Mom gave us Sully, he's an 8 month old 10 lbs buff tabby, and my kids love him. He lets them pull at him smack him (I say no on that one but it still happens) and even lay on him and he has only scratched them a bit here or there as he escapes his torture. He really is the best cat, and even though he's been eating our Christmas tree, and broken several things I love, we'll keep him around.

I think it's hilarious that Crazy Kristen is, well, crazy. My in-laws have a cat named Tiger, that I call Devil because every time you walk by him he just screams like you're killing him. He HATES me the most and I have no clue why....but my kids are learning to stay away from him...lol

That's nice of the Lord not to charge any pet sitting fees! LOL, she's a big kitty!!

I'm smiling about the cat-sitting comment too. I'm wondering what would happen if I let the Lord watch my dogs while we went out of town. I'm guessing the result wouldn't be so great. I do have faith in Him, but... :)

Holly said…
Hehehe that is too funny! Our cat sometimes does that too, and Murphy's Law, it's always with wet food, that makes a huge mess!
Jennifer said…
we have a crazy cat too and she only eats her food off of the floor. so for two cats, we only need one bowl because one eats out of the bowl and the other eats a pile of food on the floor!

How funny! My cat takes a big bite of food, and then drops it out on the floor and eats it off the floor. Glad to hear I don't have the only weird cat out there!

That's the difference between cats and dogs, I suppose! :)
