Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Blindsided by a kitten
I was chatting today with a vendor at a local farmers' market on the grounds of a church, when someone placed an exquisite little grey kitten in my arms. "What are you doing to me?" I asked, nuzzling the tiny darling. "Don't you know I'm the world's greatest ailurophile?" Of course the offender was trying to find a home for the kitten, and if we didn't already have three cats - one of them insanely jealous of competition - I would have melted and taken the little dear home. Do I wear a message on my forehead with the words "Cat Patsy", readable only by people trying to unload kittens? > I was chatting today with a vendor at a local farmers' market on the grounds > of a church, when someone placed an exquisite little grey kitten in my arms.

Meaning that under the "Cat Patsy" message written in invisible ink on your forehead is a second message reading "Even if I say no at first, I could be persuaded if you are persistent." =o) Or possibly "I always have room for one more."

So I guess it is, Suz, but to be honest, every so often I sneak a peek in the mirror at my brow to see if anything's written there! > Bobcat wrote: >> I was chatting today with a vendor at a local farmers' market on the >> grounds >> of a church, when someone placed an exquisite little grey kitten in my >> arms. >> >> "What are you doing to me?"

It's worse than that...those signs are also readable by the cats themselves. Kumani and Tyche were able to sucker DP into /being their mother/ simply by pipping. --Fil >> Do I wear a message on my forehead with the words "Cat Patsy", readable >> only >> by people trying to unload kittens? > It's worse than that...those signs are also readable by the cats > themselves. > Kumani and Tyche were able to sucker DP into /being their mother/ > simply by pipping. > --Fil That explains why Ziggy, a beautiful young orange tabby next door (which our daughter provided our neighbours) jumps into my lap every time I sit in the back yard, reads what's written on my forehead, and demands to have his ears scritched. Trouble is, he digs his claws into my legs in ecstasy when I oblige him! |
