Heard you making noises in the hallway late last night

I am drinking a concoction of apple and orange juice, mixed in equal parts and then diluted with two parts water to one part juice. I'm eating fresh English strawberries - one of the few compensations for having to suffer through disgusting sticky summer. I have also put a fresh pot of coffee on.

Went through a cat-owning rite of passage last night - I shut Cassie in the utility room by accident when I got today's beastie food out of the freezer. Cassie's one of those clingy cats that follows me everywhere making conversation as she goes - prrp, prrp, pree? Mrrow! Mree, mree-mree? I make noises back at her and she answers. I have no idea what I'm saying, but she always answers. I guess I'm the cat equivalent of a talking parrot. I'm continually tripping over her, stepping on her and having to avoid knocking her into the bath or splashing her as she sits on the edge of the tub watching me wash.

Anyway, she's never going to stay shut in any cupboards or rooms for long. The noise was incredible, and the dogs both came and barked at me on the off chance that I hadn't heard Cassie's "MROWWW!" *crash* "MIIIIIIIAW!!! MROOOWWW!!" *thump* "MREEEK!"

ha ha! mollie is very talkative like that too - if you look at her she says "merk?" and she plays peek-a-boo. very endearing. :)

Does she join you in the bath?? I can't get over that! Every time, she looks as though she's seriously considering jumping in. And I know sooner or later either she will, or I'll knock her in there because she's always in my bloody way, and I'll be naked in there and get clawed to SHREDS.

nope, but i don't take baths. she might if i did. :) she joins me in the bathroom when i use it and after a shower, she likes to go in and lick the soapy water off of the tub. :)

yes! the dogs are scared of me being in the bath, I think they think I might try and bath them - but they do like to come and help lick me dry.
