Heard you making noises in the hallway late last night

[lizblackdog]

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!"

Ah, fresh Englsih strawberries :-)

I am eating reduced price perfectly ripe fresh apricots :-)

The Cassie thing made me laugh. It's fun to read you on this blogathon.

Not like Deke and Brandy. Last night Deke got his ass shut outside on the back porch [which has bars for the dogs to pass through, if they're smart or skinny enough] and raised one hell of an indignant racket. Brandy lifted her head and looked at me like, "Don't you dare let that thing back in here."

Oh! That's funny. I can't do that here, I have no doors...:D, but I know what you mean about her following you around...Julius does it too, and he's finally got Giddy properly trained...Both of them will lead me to the bathroom like I'd get lost if I tried it alon, and Julius alays checks out the tub to see if it's safe for me to shower..hehehe

I "speak" with my cats too! I've often wondered if I'm actually saying anything comprehensible to them.

As for accidentally locking up the cats, two of mine really wouldn't care! Cinder's climbed into closets without us realizing and not protested about being in there until she decides she's hungry or needs the litter box.

Bagheera on the other hand can't stand not having run of the entire house. He gets so upset when he doesn't have full access to the entire house and says so immediately.

heh, this sounds an awful like like smoocherie's monochrome beastie Alma, right down to me locking her in the garage
D'oh!
