My Cat Hates Me

Remember last week when I told you about one of my cats hating my bra? (Check it out {{HERE}} if you need a refresher.)

Well, I came upon something else recently. Let me back up and offer a little, teensy-weensy, admission here. I prefer to sleep with socks on. I have my reasons and to go into them now would take up this entire post, and we're here to talk about a feline felony.

So, the other night I wore my socks to bed as usual. At some point it must have gotten a little too warm for my liking, because I apparently - In.My.Sleep - discarded the hoodie I was wearing, and one of my socks. Also, I apparently - In.My.Sleep - tossed both the hoodie and the one sock across the room, landing just in front of the full-length mirror.

The next morning, it was one of THOSE mornings. You know the sort. The alarm either didn't go off or I somehow managed to turn it off without realizing it - In.My.Sleep - thereby creating a domino effect of everyone being late for school, and me late for work. Time for breakfast? Surely, you gest. Nope. The morning was more like me, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off (which incidentally, I've always been curious about. It actually might be a comical sight to see.), calling out names for this child and that child to get their backpacks, brush their teeth, put on deodorant, yadda, yadda, yadda, and meet me in the car.

Obviously, I did not find the additional 30 seconds it probably would have taken for me to pick up the hoodie and sock from the floor and take care of them properly. It just wasn't a priority.

So, that night when I was getting ready for bed, I figured - eh, I'll just wear the same socks and hoodie. Not like it matters, right? They're just jammies and it's not like I'm having any company. (Don't look down on me. I know you wear your jammies more than once before washing too!) Okay, so back to the sock. I reached for the sock and guess what!?!?!? Yup. It was cold and clammy and W-E-T!

I figured the cat just hated my bra! But, now it seems that this is becoming a little more personal. Especially because both kitties are litter-box trained. And especially since they haven't had accidents in the five months we've had them. Looking back, the only change that had occurred has been their little "fix-it" and de-clawing surgeries.

It's a conspiracy. The cats are trying to get back at me for taking away their scratching powers, for stripping them of knowing what is was going to be like to be a mama-cat in heat. If only they would realize it's all for their own good. But that is the only thing I can think of.

Maybe some cat nip is in order... like a peace-offering or something. I've heard it's like weed, for cats. That should be good, right?

The New Babies

Taken late at night with my camera phone... so the quality isn't the best.

The one on the left is Sadie and the one on the right is Jasper...

Sadie is saying "hello". She is definitely the more outgoing kitty. She also likes to "boss" Jasper around. hahaha!

The like to play in the window together before bedtime... the car lights zooming by provides quite the entertainment.

My Jasper is a little nervous-nelly. Sort of shy too, but a GREAT cuddler.

Sadie snuggles in PrettyPrettyPrincess's room. She was this calm for all of 2 seconds! HAHA! We call her spider-kitty sometimes because she leaps and jumps and climbs all over and she is speedy!

When they wear each other out they like to snuggle.

Snuggling on PrettyPrettyPrincess's bed.

I know, I know. I have always said I am not much of a "cat person". This is true. However, if you remember last year I had a visit from a little mouse and all of his relatives. I am not much of a mouse person either :) I do not hope to ever have a mouse again and these will be my mouse traps! Although, more likely what will happen is Jasper will see a mouse and whine about it and Sadie will catch and torture it. Either way ... as long as any potential mice understand that they are not welcome here :)

Oh - also Sadie is PrettyPrettyPrincess's early birthday gift. Hopefully Sadie will be a great pet that she can have even to the point she starts college.
