I am a Cat Lover

Sorry for the sparse posting. I did the tri! I even ran the entire 5 miles at the end and despite crazy wind, not hydrating on the bike and massive hills, I only fell over once and had to only walk up three inclines. I have a lake swim (race distance 1500m or more) tomorrow and am planning a long ride (22-35) miles Sunday.

So I have two cats. Two cats that have become my children–I am totally “one of those people”. I love my cats because whenever they choose to sit in my lap for a scratch, I know they really want to be there.

We’re a little disappointed with our Scotch right now. He has the smelliest number two’s ever. We’ve told him again and again, if you do it, you have to light a match afterwards. But he doesn’t even try. Probably a good thing with his track record with candles. His tail hair has been trimmed because it hovered a little too close.

Sake is so darn cute because she will start purring if you look at her. It has almost become a game to see if you can catch her not purring. We’ve been unsuccessful so far.

Scotch has the habit of “crying” his little pathetic meow when we turn off the tv or sneeze. You don’t believe me? Watch this.

Anywho, where I’m really going with this is, have you ever seen a cat smell something stinky? Generally a dirty sock or similar item? They smell it, then they raise their head with a half-open mouth. Total disgust is on their face. It is so absurd, but at the same time you start to feel bad that you smell that gross. You almost want to apologize. Then you realize it is a cat. As Eric likes to say, they lick their own butts and should be treated accordingly.

I’m still a cat lover. They are too quirky, loving, faithful, and down-right funny!

Peace,

Katy ^_^
