Old School Blogging
By QBlog in Miscellaneous
Old School Blogging — Just to prove I still "got it" though I'm not entirely convinced I ever "had it."
It's now 6:48 a.m. and the house is still quietly snoozing. Even Wendy the Wonder Dog is sleeping soundly in her crate. Of course the cats are awake. That's the way cats are. When I think they should be sleeping, they're awake — scratching on a laundry basket, protecting us from attacking socks and knocking things off tables.
I've developed a few "Cat Laws" that I believe are universally true and definitely apply to my beloved felines.
- A purring cat resting on a lap renders one immobile. It could conceivably be used by law enforcement as a perfect (or should I say Purrfect?) and humane restraint system.
- A cat will never want to leave a room unless the door to that room is shut.
- Cats have long memories and like the Klingons, enjoy serving their revenge cold (reference).
Anyway, I like my kitties but one continually vexes me by urinating on various door mats. She's been to the vet and we've tried everything but nothing works. My wife and I have a theory — she's exacting revenge on me for accidently stepping on her several years ago. She's small and I'm not and she's never been quite the same since that fateful day.
Oh yeah, I won the Incredibles XBox game over the weekend. What a fun game! And when I say that I won the game, I mean that my kids demanded that I play while they watched. And they loved watching. I guess a good game is one that's as fun to watch as it is to play. I think we'll be getting Robots next.
Well, that's about all the news from Lake Wobegon. I must get a coffee refill and go wake the rest of the family. My friend Allegra D is kicking in now so I'm almost feeling myself again. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

You actually have "cat laws," QBlog? Are the cats consistant? I've found with my cat, there is only one law she follows, and that she makes the rules and can change them if and when she pleases.
cat laws:
- Open the window even if it's -30 outside
- Never ever take cat to some place, or car
- Ditto on " A cat will never want to leave a room unless the door to that room is shut."
- Don't bother them when YOU want to
- Give them attention right in the middle of interesting wrestling match or conversation with your wierd brother who spoke once in a year
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with spiteful cats......I have 2 "normal" kitties and one psycho, and of course the Papillion baby. She exacts her revenge randomly, I have yet to discern a pattern to the behavior, and we too went the vet route trying to figure her out. We just decided she's insane and have left it at that......she's just too pretty to get rid of (all white with electric green eyes), and then there's the Catholic guilt if we gave her to the humane society and no one claimed her.
