it's getting bad

Maybe I should have another kid? Nah. The only time I think that is when I am outside trying to do a bit of gardening (read: Weeding) and am having to socialise our mad cat.

He's FINALLY ventured out and become relaxed with Baked Beans and Toast. All the cats named by Mae are food based. Unfortunately a new one called Tomato has shown up. He is black, like Sprout, which is either very creative or a sad indictment of my cooking.

Anyway, Tomato is a pure nutjob. Very skittish, almost to the point of being not playful, just crazy. And he is chasing Rumpole all the time. If our neighbours have their windows open I am sure they think I am some crazy-old-lady in the making. And if not, and they are seeing me talk to them both without sound....even worse.

Rumpole is going to have to fend for himself.

You are a crazy-old-lady in the making. With a crazy daughter who names cats after food. Perhaps the black tomato and black sprout are foreshadowing the harvest from your garden?... i hope not.

Is my count right..Do you have four cats?

Jen said...

we have ONE cat! All the others are visitors. They think it's a holiday camp or something.

Hannah would be in her glory! She's told me many times that she doesn't want to get married or have babies, she just wants 20,000 cats. Yikes! Now that's a crazy cat lady!

You should put a bandana on Rumpole. Or maybe like a leather cap for cats. That'll keep the neighbourhood cats away. Or make Rumpole the laughing stock and secure your place as the neighbourhood looney!
