It has taken me forever to get back into writing. Today my muse woke up and I was well into my “centre” when enter Cat from right. I am really not sure why she decided to launch the attack but first the back of my chair had a good clawing. Then slowly two ears were followed by two staring eyes as her mischief gained ground. These were soon followed by a paw (Claws out). The left sleeve of my jersey bore the brunt of the attack. All body parts disappeared to launch a fresh attack on the back of my chair then ears, eyes, head and claws appeared on the other side of the chair.
When all of this didn’t gain the response she wanted, she changed her tactics. Semi claws into right hand leg. Attack warded off bravely by my slacks.
When this attack was unsuccessful we tried the pitiful meow. By this time I was wondering if her food dish was empty. This thought was confirmed when a paw tried to pull my right hand off the keyboard.
CAT 1 – MUSE 0
I gave up and went to inspect the full bowl of pellets with her looking very expectantly at me. Water – fresh, snack – untouched.
We exchanged a few glances after which she went and happily started on her bowl of pellets.
Cats just hate competition.
