Ouch! Them light bulb thingies are hot ...

Stupid little fly came into our house tonight.  It flew around for a bit, just teasing me before settling on the light bulb.

I see now (now that I've learned how hot light bulbs are) that it must have been cold. I didn't know that at the time though.

See; this is me just sitting watching it sitting on the light bulb ... 

And this is me sitting watching it, just waiting for it to start flying around again so that I could chase it & catch it.  Do you have any idea how satisfying it is to hear & feel the crunch of fly skewered on a front claw ...?!?

And how very tasty fresh fly meat is?

It didn't seem to be in any hurry to start flying around again though.  It was just sitting there on the light bulb.

I can kind of understand its wanting to rest & stay still on the warm light ... but it must have been getting very hot on there.

I soon got bored of just sitting there watching it, & so I decided to play with it. I was sure that a little bit of batting & teasing with my paw would do it ..,

But then ... ouch!! That's when I learned how very hot light bulbs get ...

Stupid fly made me put my paw pads on the light bulb ... ouch! 

I quickly moved my pad away!

My human saw what happened too, so I had to pretend that everything was okay; of course, I didn't burn my little pads human. I'm not that stupid ...

Even though I did run away cursing the stupid fly for making me do it ... but at least I learned that them light-bulb thingies are hot ... !

A bin just for you, simple human ...

Oh look human!

I've found a bin made just for you ...

And I bet, that I could prove that it's not pet-proof!! I bet I could get into it if I wanted to! 

Can we get the bin please so I can show you?

Sleep on it human ...

My human came to bed early tonight to do some work.  She's doing something called 'brain-storming' or 'thought-showering' to come up with some new ideas to help her think.

I'm not sure it's going to work.

So this is my advice to her ...

 

Sleep on it human ...

I always knew the PhD-thingy would come good one day ...

There really is no escape from this PhD-thingy thesis-thingy.

Look; she took it into bed with her last night!

She blamed me ... as she always does.  She'd been out all night & didn't come home until after 10pm. I'd given up on her coming home & so had gone to bed, which was why, when she did come home, I wasn't ready at the front door to run outside.

By the time I woke up, she was already indoors.  

I kept shouting at her to let me out, but she wouldn't.

And then the stupid human decided to go to bed. She knows that once she's in bed, I can't resist being in there with her & all thoughts of going out go out of my head. 

I get annoyed with myself for falling for it, but I can't help it. I just love being in bed with my human.

And so, last night, to stop me yelling at her to let me out, she went to bed.

She took her thesis with her though.

But I have to say I'm not really sure how she's doing with it right now. 




See; this is me reading it last night, & I have to say, it's not very good.  I could do better with it.

In fact, I got so bored by reading it, I very quickly gave up.

It mightn't read very well, but it does make a nice cosy sleeping place.

I always knew the PhD-thingy would come good one day ...

I'm keeping tight hold ...

My human often laughs at me for my knack of finding nice comfy places to sleep on.

She doesn't always seem to understand the nice places I choose.

Look at these photos below ... she comes in from work sometimes & just dumps her bags on our nice green chair.

What better place for a cat to sleep on?

See human; I'm keeping all of your things safe for you.   And yes; I am comfortable. Thank you for asking.

And see; this was me the other day too when she dumped her bags 

And no; don't worry about me. I'll not fall off; I'm keeping tight hold.

I'm a cat ... I'll not fall off!

I'm more important than Facebook ...

I posted this on my human's Facebook page last night ....

I don't think she was very happy about it.

She can't have been that mad with me though, because she took a photo of me doing it ....

She was ignoring me; I needed to get her attention some way ...

I don't want to share my human ...

Me & black-&-white cat had come to a bit of a truce. I'd gotten tired of fighting with him.

And tonight, we sat quite happily together, just watching my human's washing. It was okay because I was in my yard & I'd allowed him to sit on my wall.  And everyone was happy.  Even my human.  Because with us around, no one would steal her silly patterned leggings.  These leggings are funny things ... she's just been writing a whole post on her blog about them!  (Check it out at: http://therapywithsharon.blogspot.co.uk/)

But then, stupid black-&-white made a wrong move. What on earth was he thinking? I just couldn't believe what I was seeing through my own eyes.  He had the nerve to jump down into my yard ... whilst I was still sitting in it ... & was brazenly walking towards the open door.

I was just about to run & attach him, when my human saw what was happening.  I don't know what she was planning to do, but as she walked towards the door, black-&-white showed his true colours ...

Stupid scaredy cat!  He ran across the yard, jumped up onto the wall & disappeared! Ha ha! What a stupid cat to be scared of my human!

I'm glad he is though, because I don't want to share her with him ...

Oh; did I stop you going out human ... ?!

Following on from the post I wrote just before, I want to tell you a little story about last Saturday night ...

You see, I did something similar then too ...

My human was planning on going out for the evening & so she shut the back door to keep me inside.

But I wasn't going to be conned like that. As I'm sure you know, Saturday nights are good nights for going out. And much as my human wanted her Saturday night out, my Saturday night out was more important.

And she stupidly left the bathroom window open anyway! So of course, out I jumped!

The look on her face when she was getting ready to go out & saw me sitting outside in the yard was a picture! I wish you could have seen it! Bemusement at me for being out. Anger at herself for forgetting to close the window. 

She tried to call me in, but no way was I going back inside! Up I jumped onto the wall where I knew she couldn't reach me!

And then I disappeared! Off I went to have my fun & Saturday night out. And because my human won't leave me out on my own (who would be there to let me in when I was ready to go in?!), she had to stay in; at home, where she belongs.

I did call back to check on her after an hour or so. But I was careful to stay up on the wall so she didn't get any ideas about catching me.

See human; it's lovely out here.

What do you mean; you were meant to be going to a nice outdoors event & enjoying the summer evening? 

Tough!

I'm out, so you have to stay in!

And I'm not coming in anytime soon.

And I didn't.

I went in when I was ready. And it was too late by then by my human to go out.

Oops! Sorry human ... kind of. 

And there's nothing you can do about it ...

No human; I don't care that it's after midnight & you're tired & have to get up early tomorrow & so want to go to bed.

Nor do I care that it's really foggy outside just now. 

And no; tonight, I don't even care about Dreamies. I'm not going to be tempted to come down from the wall by you putting them in my dish on my wheelie bin.


Because I know that if I come down & start eating them, you'll pick me up & carry me inside. And I'm not falling for that trick tonight. You've done it to me once too often.  Because as you know, sometimes, Dreamies are simply irresistible.  But not tonight.

I'm happy up here on my wall. And I'm going to stay up here as long as I want to.

And there's nothing you can do about it ...
