Thursday-1pm

This is the ritual. Our treat game. Karma sits and stares at me by her treat drawer. She'll meow at me if I don't notice her.

If I still ignore her or have told her to wait and then taken too long--the next thing she does is threaten to tip over my coffee thermos or glass. That usually gets a rise out of me--hehe!

See--she is so predictable I can take pictures--hehe! And we both know it is just an attention getting threat at this point. She actually did knock over my coffee once when she was little and found out she got in really big trouble and didn't get any treats for a long time. I know she doesn't really want me genuinely mad at her. But I also know that if she gets mad enough at me--she won't care. I don't really like her telling me what to do--so I make her wait a bit. She doesn't like to wait. So it is kind of like a treat dance--ROFL!
When I open the drawer she begins to rub her face and head against it in delight., of course. Suddenly all sweet and lovey.
But if I don't move fast enough for her (I sometimes open the drawer to keep her farther away from my coffee and bide some time) she seems to think she can pull the entire drawer down.

How she thinks she'd open those little jars is anybody's guess--hehe!

This is all my own fault, of course. Real treats were too expensive so I buy regular dry cat food and put it in these little jars--so I give them to her much too freely. But it has to be something she doesn't normally eat in her regular food dish because she can tell. Honestly--I've tried to fool her. She gets really undone with me--hehe! And I don't know how she can tell because I make up a mix of dry foods for her--like 3-4 small boxes or bags at a time. But once it has been used in her dry food mixture--it no longer qualifies as a treat. No lie! She'll walk away from it and keep bugging me for a "real" treat. She must have some nose on her!

I know--I know--never reward bad behavior--ROFL! Not a good idea. Do not try this at home. Yup! She's spoiled rotten. But she still knows who's boss around here.

I guess I have turned into one of those typical old cat ladies. Of course, I knew the odds were stacked against me. I have always loved my cats.....and birds, rats, guinea pigs, iguana, dogs, salamanders, chameleons, skunk, hamsters, turtles, fish, toads, frogs, mice, etc.

Yup! Have had a lot of critters over the years. Miss Karma is the most unique cat I have ever lived with. (I thought that sounded better than weirdest, oddest, strangest, or most peculiar--hehe!) Probably love her more because of that, ya think? :) :)

Love is good. No matter who, what, where, or why--right? Hehe!

I was up till 3:30am finishing The Pillars of The Earth. Just had to see how it ended and couldn't put it down. Now I can start the sequel after a little break.

Have a great day--what's left of it--hehe!
