If you’ve been following the Kitten from Hell saga since last August, you know that I obtained said Kitten from Hell for the express purpose of getting the Clueless Wonder a companion. CW is a cuddles cat. He wants to lap sit. He wants to watch television with you. He wants company to notice him. He was the ideal companion for my aged mother, and ever since she died he’s not gotten the attention he’s used to. Or deserves. Clueless Wonder did a yeoman’s job during the last years of my mother’s life. He was the last creature she recognized by name (long after she’d forgotten the names of her three daughters, or indeed, even remembered that she had daughters).
I’d felt sorry for CW because I couldn’t give him the constant attention he craved and deserved. The introduction of the Warrior Princess did nothing to alleviate poor CW’s loneliness, since she rebuffed his every effort to engage her in play. She wouldn’t let him groom her, she wouldn’t even share the sofa with him. CW needed a friend, and I figured, with his gentle ways, a kitten would attach itself to him like I attach myself to a new box of chocolates.
As you all know, it hasn’t happened that way. KfH prefers to stalk, attack, terrorize, bully, and intimidate CW. She stole his catnip, stole his food (till I started locking her up at meal times), stole his cat bed, even stole his Warrior Princess away from him. WP loves playing with KfH – they play rough, they play loud, and they play without CW.
Two nights ago, however, KfH actually allowed CW back into his cat bed. She didn’t give an inch, mind you, but she was content to share. CW showed his appreciation by thoroughly grooming her face, which she appeared to adore. There may be hope yet that CW has finally found the friend he deserves.
Are you sure there’s something going on in that furry little mind in the first place?
Your upcoming dinner sounds delicious. What goes better with crawfish, beer or cider?
LOL LOL LOL

KfH can’t be just a cat. She’s *something else* under that catty appearance ;).
Oh, and it sounds like The Prof will be using public transportation very soon :(. I have my fingers crossed that he finds a cheap new car, or some other solution.
Love,

Jazz is quite fond of dumping things in the water dish too. I never can figure out exactly why she finds it so much fun, but I’ve found hair ties, toys, cat food, milk rings, etc. all in the water dish. Last night there was a dead house fly in the dish. I’m sure she drowned him.
Hey there,
Thanks for the comments. Haha to the house thing. Actually I can see a place for different colors when it comes to old Victorian Homes n such. My H and I drove on the freeway month ago and passed a new housing track. You know the standard tan, browns, and all that houses. And there like an eye sore I kid you not, was a MAGENTA and PINK house. My H about had a cow at the sight of it.
You know I need a hobby, I think I will take up horrid house paint jobs photos and put them in my diary. Why not? :::giggles:::
Regarding the cat in the disposal story at Sweetstar’s diary, this seems to be the primary vector: http://www.timtimmons.com/tt.nsf/90547635388ef6d488256652001b85af/0b9be9b0ad9db20988256b1100542bae?OpenDocument. I don’t know if it’s an UL or not. Snopes doesn’t mention it. I can’t find any discussion of it on AFU, either. Meanwhile there was a huge thread on it in rec.arts.sf.fandom a while back, started by Joel Rosenberg (?? -the- Joel Rosenberg?)
oh my is that a russian blue?
mmm, crawfish, mmm. I REALLY miss that, and just can’t find a way to justify a trip to Mississippi to get some….!

Hi Salamander,

I wish my cat would dump toys.
LOL @ Shay41’s comment.
That is a great picture, it looks like she is wondering when the other cat will quit posing for her picture and leave so she can have the bed to herself.
LOL @ Lilth too. Check out her entry for today.
sweet picture, i hope they do become good friends. CW is looking especially sweet!
Great picture, CW sounds like a real sweetheart of a cat.
