It's only been 4 weeks since Oscar has invaded our home yet he behaves like he was born into the clan. He doesn't show much care or gratitude towards the Matriarch of the household. Yet the little fuzzball just loves "hangin'' with my offspring and my husband. They've given him some nasty habits that seem to only inconvenience me or them during certain situations (XBOX, eating, XBOX, sleeping, etc). So almost all my available home-time has been shared with Oscar the Kurious Kitty. And he sure takes his job seriously.
Just writing this post is a chore. He thinks that typing is for his amusement, as he hunts my stubby fingers across the keyboard. He's also discovered monitor/T.V. screens (i.e.: XBox loading screen, moving wheat fields, running wildlife of any kind) and jumps at lightening speed to try and catch whatever caught his attention in the first place. At first, I did think it was entertaining, like everyone else. Yet as our little baby grows at also lightening speed, he's not so graceful anymore when he crashes into the LCD monitor or the flat-screen T.V. He also has a great dislike for my net book, it interferes with his 'lady & Me Me Me' time. He gets really annoyed when that happens.
I usually encourage all my pets to talk anyway they can. With Oscar, I already regret teaching him so young. He has a howl that puts nails on chalkboard to shame. The stare-down he gives me when I ignore his attempts to make me stop typing. It certainly helps with training my concentration. Be right back...
As, I was stating, Oscar is as persistent as a 2 year old who just keeps climbing up on to your knees when you keep asking the child to politely wait til you're done; over and over and over and over.....My poor aging skin, sore bones aren't as resilient as they use to be. The sharp claws and teeth are not going to get any weaker and he seems to view my body parts as his playground. Even a simple walk into the only hallway in the one-level apartment, can turn into a deadly slalom race. Oscar comes in from behind, to in between your feet, through your feet, in and out of two more doorways and a final ahead super skid on the wood floor as he disappears either to the left or the right. This only took less than 60 seconds, but I still broke into a sweat and so did Oscar.
Almost to the end of another day....(did i see a putty-tat? I did see a putty-tat!)
