Perfect Kitty, Smokey Gray





in der Nacht sind alle Katzen grau
[title first used here, cause that's when i learned this most-favorite phrase]

[above this pic]
left :: we knew that there would be a price to pay
because he is simply too perfect
&unfortunately, my favorite plant
(that has actually died &resurrected itself once already)
paid the first price
*weeps*
we do not know what happened
cause i woke up to it
(she sits right next to me)
but later that day he put his little paws up on the edge of the planter
&he was sniffing the dirt real hard
&started to tap a paw around in it
(so we have some guesses, lol)
&i snapped my fingers
with a forceful "No"
(the second no he's heard,
the first was when i showed him the fridge,
and as he was basking in the cold blast,
he started to climb into the fridge, and that's a no-no)
&he scurried away to his lair under the couch
(it's all done up with cushions and such)
when he came back out a few minutes later
he looked very guilty
so i explained to him that she's alive
too
&that she was here before him
so he really needs to respect her space
*sighs*
she's healing, tho
so, i think we'll be alright

right :: he's becoming more and more playful with each passing day
&on the lamp's day
the bodybuddy/lifemate was playing with him real hard
&he ran to the a/c unit
jumped on it
&then jumped onto the lamp in a wall-jump sorta way
&of course
his kitty claws tore right through it as he clung on for dear life
&of course
it freaked him the fuck out
&so of course
when he inevitably tipped the lamp over
the lamp took out the elephant tapestry that was hanging from the corner
covering the ugly black-out situation we had over this window
(we used to job overnight)
&i even knew that i want/needed to update that window
(most windows here are just slats of glass that do not seal and close together)
cause i want to keep it covered
cause dust
cause i suffer a bit from the vog
(not complaining)
&we knew that a kitten would painstakingly reveal all of our weaknesses
&he has
luckily for us
^..^

also had to rearrange my work-shelf
to accommodate/repulse a more-curious creature roaming about
