Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Harri the fashion critic Roadcat
The weather on the west coast has been kind of sunny recently (aside from the last week) so I decided it was time to pick up a hat to keep from crisping my mostly-bald head. I went into the truck stop convenience store last night and bought a couple of baseball caps. Harri has never seen me wear a ball cap before. This morning as we were preparing to pull out I put on my sunglasses and a ball cap. An hour or so later Harri came up on my lap like usual for an arm snuggle, and that's when she noticed the ball cap. She lay on her back in my arms staring fixedly at the ball cap for a few minutes. Then she sat up and began sniffing the bill of the cap. Then she started pushing on it, hard, with her nose/ Then the paws came up and shoved it off my head. Later in the day I put it back on, then Harri up for another arm snuggle. Once again it was sniff, nudge, paw until it came off. I guess she just doesn't like ball caps.

OTOH, that's *so* last-year......Doorags are the "in" head attire of the moment, I believe. >> Later in the day I put it back on, then Harri up for another arm snuggle. >> Once again it was sniff, nudge, paw until it came off.

Now that's a thought - me in a doorag. That would look so funny I don't think I'd be able to stop laughing at myself. Dan > Harri is trying to show you that the fashion statement > is to wear it *backwards* with bill at back of head! > OTOH, that's *so* last-year......Doorags are the "in" > head attire of the moment, I believe. Oh I hate those things. When guys wear the doorags it looks like they have a condom on their head. Bob >Harri is trying to show you that the fashion statement >is to wear it *backwards* with bill at back of head! >OTOH, that's *so* last-year......Doorags are the "in" >head attire of the moment, I believe. It's been a long moment. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > LOL! She is really taking over your life. Yep, and I wouldn't have it any other way :) >> LOL! She is really taking over your life. > > Yep, and I wouldn't have it any other way :) I know what you mean. I try to give Frank and Nikki a lot of attention, so they won't be jealous of the little one, but Mere is such a little slut! She clamours for attention all the time. She comes and stands on her back feet and paws at my legs to be lifted up. I've never had such a snuggle bunny before. Frank and Nikki were so stand-offish the first days/weeks of being with me, and neither wanted to be in my lap until just a few years ago. Mere is really taking over here. What a little charmer. She knows exactly how to melt a hoomin heart. She'll be running things around here in no time.

Next time, take her shopping with you and let her pick! :-) Sandy, Meowmie to Sundance and Rebecca > The weather on the west coast has been kind of sunny recently (aside from > the last week) so I decided it was time to pick up a hat to keep from [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Dan [[Later in the day I put it back on, then Harri up for another arm snuggle.

"Kitty Eye for the Hoomin Guy". ;o) Maybe she's objecting because the ball cap has the logo of the wrong team. I recommend a cap with the logo of a team like the Villanova Wildcats, Nittany Lions, Detroit Tigers, etc. Maybe Harry will give a cap like that the stamp of approval. :o) Donna > LOL!

You're embarassing me! ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Daa-aaaa-aaaaaaad! You're embarassing me! ;) That *is* what her behavior looks like! This morning she dispensed with the sniff-sniff-nudge-nudge-paw-paw routine. As soon as we were rolling she climbed up in my lap, sat up tall, and bap-bap-bap knocked the cap right off. I guess I should try the other one and see if it's the color. If she doesn't like that one either it'll be back to my ugly-looking bucket hats. Dan >> Daa-aaaa-aaaaaaad!

My LLL (long lost love) is bald on top. When we do his art shows we are often sitting in the sun for hours, even if he requests a shaded spot (hey, you can't control the sun!). I bought the strongest waterproof sunblock I could find and insist on slathering it not only on me but on the top of John's head. Jill P.S. I'm absolutely in love with your little Harri-girl :) > >> Later in the day I put it back on, then Harri up for another arm > >> snuggle. Once again it was sniff, nudge, paw until it came off.
