I'm sitting here typing away at some random ranting sorta thing and Fido comes around from behind the computer screen. He looks at me, then looks at the bookshelf beside the compter desk, then he prepares to jump. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I prefer it if he and his sister not jump up there, at least not from the computer table which rocks back and forth and things fall off when they do (it's cheap, yes). So, I grabbed him gently around the shoulders and neck and squeezed just hard enoug to keep ahold. So, he tries twice to jump through my hand, keeping his eyes on the ledge of the bookcase. Both times I keep him right where he is, no movement at all. Then he takes his eyes off the bookshelf ledge and looks right at me.

That's when he called me an asshole, I swear it.

Not for the first time, I hope.

Well, probably not, but I've never been more certain that was exactly what he wanted to say at that vey moment. The look was perfect.

At least your cat isn't controlling your mind and hence your actions.

Most of the inexplicable that occurs in our house is directly attributable to Fritz and his Insidious Mind Control.

Even now, asleep in the chair nearby, he's doing it.

My overlord can get punchy, too. Particularly when it comes to fishy treats.

He's always asking, "Now?" He's pretty impatient with me. I'm sure he thinks I'm some kind of slacker.

Mine's called me that a couple of times this morning already. For not feeding her peanut butter and for not consistently playing my role as her personalized heated kitty bed.

Mine are pretty sulky since I've been vacuuming - gotta do it, the place is a MESS!

Can't you just lick it clean, lazy? You don't see them buying some noisy and obnoxious shower attachment, do you?

If it crossed their litle minds, they'd do it!

That's funny, Brim, because my cats both recently referred to you as an asshole, too.

I knew they slept on the bed behind me. I didn't guess till now that they've been reading over my shoulder.

That's why I have dogs, they think I'm the greatest guy they ever met.

:foilhat: An antenna is a most unusual and frankly rather counterproductive feature in a tinfoil hat.

That's right, the best tin-foil hat would actually be worn underneath another hat so that "they" wouldn't know you have it on.

I couldn't live with the strain of trying to live up to their ideals of me. I'm much better with Hobbes, who is convinced I'm a dolt who happens to have opposable thumbs. He thinks I'm "special" in the "short bus special" way. "Dumbshit" is how I think it translates.

Nope. Wasn't the cat. T'was me. :)

Nah, kidding. Cats definitely show what they're thinking though. It's uber-cute.
