Lola-cat (the fat one) has decided that our apartment is boring. She mopes around and meows at the door in a my-life-is-so-mundane-I-need-to-get-out-and-see-the-world kind of way.
Meow.
Meow.
Apparently the copious amount of smelly cat food that used to be able to calm her restless spirit is no longer good enough. She can’t be swayed by catnip-filled mice toys, head scratches, or by chasing her around the house when I go crazy after hour upon hour of ceaseless mewing.
And this all is compounded by the amount of work I need to do. Here she’s bored, and I can barely fit enough hours in to the day. In fact, it seems as though my general work load is inversely related to her level of comfort. Which got me thinking. What if I can train her to do simple chores around the house? Like the dishes. Or dusting. Folding the laundry. Filling up my coffee mug. Baking bread. Taking out the garbage. This way, she gets the satisfaction of a job well done and is distracted from her previous useless and mundane life. And I get to focus on the bigger projects at hand, instead of worrying myself over the basics.
It’s seems like a perfect solution to me.
So excuse me, I’ve got a cat who needs a broom tied to her tail.
Wow. This is incredible. It is such an honour to be up here right now. I mean, who would could have conceived, 4 and half years ago, that this little web site could have accomplished so much? It’s really been a dream come true and…
We’re sorry, we’re tearing up a little here…
We promised ourselves we wouldn’t do this… it’s just so incredible.
We’d like first and foremost to thank Tim Berners Lee, we really couldn’t have done it without you. And Blogspot. Wikipedia, you have helped us research the validity of so many anecdotes, and Google Images, you have been such a support.
And, last, but certainly not least, without whom we could never have arrived at 500 posts, we thank Silly Cat Pictures.
Thank you for believing in us. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. We love you all!
Cat’s don’t like fire. Or water. Or being held too closely.
This might make them a little more difficult to save, but they still deserve to be.
Brave, brave firemen.
L- has been attempting to train the fat cat to use the toilet. Just one of the many reasons why I love that girl.
