I need to get up and get some work done— but there’s a kitten asleep…
on my foot.
And yes she is actually hanging upside down like that, with her nose on the floor.
Now this is something we don’t see very often. These furry little souls don’t really spend much time hanging out with each other. I mean, a little nod in passing–from the girls maybe, and a good pounce now and then from Hobbes, sure. But laying around having a kitty chat on a cool winter day?
Heck no.
I have several friends with multiple cats and they play with each other and lay all over each other and actually- you know- like each other. Yeeeeahhh…that’s not happening here. No idea what I’m doing wrong.
Sooooo….what’s going on then, you ask?
Well, I’ll tell you.
All three of these chicken liver kitties are actually hiding away behind mostly closed doors to ‘stay safe” from ANYone who happens to come visit me. It could be my kids, my grandkids, my friends, the UPS guy- doesn’t matter. If they knock on the door, the cats take off like Godzilla is coming after them.
Descendants of the brave, mighty lion, indeed.
Big old babies.
