Lesson from Parker
She can't be cajoled or ordered. Not gonna happen. She'll accept your gifts and favor, but no amount of charm will move her to answer your demands or pleas. And when you forget, you get the look. Translation: “Look fool, I don't do tricks. Look at the bright side; I won't sniff your crotch or hump your leg either.” Then she saunters off.

This really embodies a cat! Love it =)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like about cats. Cool as cucumbers.
ReplyDeleteYes, this has to be a cat! I've decided that naming them is just for our benefit. If I'm lucky, they *might* raise their head and look at me if I call them :)
ReplyDeleteSounds very much like a four-legged furry creature I know!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, we love them. You'll be getting many smiles of acknowledgement on this! :))
ReplyDeleteShort and brilliant.. :-)
ReplyDeleteA cat indeed! I love it,as I love cats for exactly what you are describing. :)

Hahaha. I don't know how anything can stand those things. I certainly can't. But I am NOT an animal person.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's why I'm a dog person. I could do without the crotch sniffing and leg humping, though.
ReplyDeleteVery realistic cat POV!
Ivy took the words right out of my mouth! I like cats, but I've always had dogs. On the other hand, I don't necessarily like ALL dogs...I'll never gets used to having canine advances toward my leg or any other part of me;)
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of writing!
Cats are low maintainance even if they have attitude, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion. Thank you all.
ReplyDeleteI think that we should all try to be more like cats. Great writing!
ReplyDeletehaha, nice play on words. cute.
ReplyDeleteSo perfect, and that last line just cements the image! This is what I love about cats - they belong to nobody but themselves. Nicely done.
