I do NOT spoil my kitties

**Don Juan's mom** · 01-16-2006, 11:00 PM

Oh, let's see. NO, my kitties are not spoiled. I just find it relaxing to lie on the floor when I come in the house and give scritches and rubs.

I'm not spoiling Don Juan when I stop fixing supper and get out his Love Glove (TM) for a brushing, because this way he won't get all that nasty hair in his tummy.

Besides, his yowls tend to distract my preparations and I let things burn.

And he's so considerate, knowing when I need to take a break from knitting and climbing up on my shoulder so I have to stop knitting and hold him. Love listening to him purrrrrrrr.

I really enjoy Zerlina's company in the bathroom. That's why she has a special water dish of her own on the sink. And when I'm getting ready for bed, and she rolls on her back and shows me her cute bikini markings, how could I resist giving her ten minutes of playtime?

Goes without saying that they eat better than I do. But that's just my responsibility as a cat mom.

I never ease very slowly and carefully into the few feet of space my cats have left on the bed when I go to sleep, saying "I'm sorry", "I'm really sorry", "Ooops, I didn't mean to nudge you, so sorry." Right!

I never leave late for work because Big Ted decides at the very last minute that he doesn't want to drink the fresh water in two bowls but from the kitchen tap. Sure!

I never spend ten minutes crawling around after a cat, apologising profusely and begging them to forgive me after they've rushed at my legs and I've stumbled over them. Pull the other leg!

I never spend half-an-hour unloading cat supplies from the car and about 5 seconds removing my own, how could I be so indulgent?!

I never get up from the sofa massaging my back and stretching painfully cramped legs because I waited until I couldn't stand the pain one more second before I would disturb the four or more cats piled around me. How silly that would be!
