I am a civilized cat.
I live in a house.
Since I never, ever venture across the threshold into the Room-Where-Dad-Can’t-Get-The-Air-Conditioning-Adjusted-Properly
(commonly referred to by my parents as The Great Outdoors), I see very few
strangers. [Unless you count relatives, which are strange indeed. But that is
another matter.]
I mention this to drive home a point.
That point is I was in
my own chair by my own window minding my own business this morning when a whacking great
creature stepped right up and shoved his nose against the glass. This Creature
had big eyes, big ears and very big teeth. I thought to myself, “Self, what big
eyes he has! Self, what big ears he has! Self, what big teeth he has!”
Yipes!
And I have never seen such a snoot!
This creature gave what amounted to a goofy grin, its tongue
lolling out the side of its mouth like Dad’s socks dangling over the hamper’s
edge.
I was horror stricken and turned immediately for Mummy.
Bless her, Mummy is the bestest – she spied the infernal
Creature, referring to it as a Dog (whatever that is), without hesitation
opening the door and, with flailing arms and much shouting, scared the
bajeezies out of him…er, It. The Beast ran off!
I pondered for a moment the meaning of it all.
As I was hard
pressed to figure it out, I resumed my slumped stance in the chair and promptly fell asleep.
Mummy saved the day.
I am very relieved - another victory for Catkind.
ZZzzzzzzz……
