Kitty Temper Tantrums
Do your pets throw temper tantrums? If not, consider yourself lucky. My sweet Princess throws a whopper of a tantrum at least once a week....generally when I've misbehaved.
Today, after pulling my car into the garage, I had the audacity to go to check my mail rather than immediately going into my apartment. After picking up my mail, I walked past one of my front windows. There was Princess, clawing frantically (and this is a kitty whose front claws were removed before I ever became her mommy) on her chair in front of the window...a sure sign I had displeased her.
Once I walked in the front door, I was treated to ten minutes of yelling. Okay..in the future, I MUST enter the apartment immediately upon parking my car. After all, Princess is in charge, not me....sigh!
So tell me, just who is in charge here?
LinnieGayl: Your entry brought a smile to my face. Very cute!
*laughing*
She is, of course. Did you ever have any doubts? ;-)
Wanted to add that Rufus is a big snubber -- as in The Cut Direct. He will
ignore me completely when I come home at an unacceptable hour and not even
come out to greet me. About half an hour later, he will saunter out only
to pointedly ignore me for an hour or so.
Our cat, Millie has 2 dogs to contend with so she doesn't have time for
many antics, but she has her moments. She loves our sheltie BTW. She's
never been close with the Beagle, even though they grew up together, but
she's taken a shine to our little sheltie and they hang out together quite
a bit. He respects her space, which is something the Beagle doesn't do. All
space...is his space (whether you like it or not). As for antics...Millie
has one. She is very much a night time cat and she does her prowling around
the house when everyone is asleep. So, every night she hops up by me and
insists I turn her way while she lies down and makes herself comfortable.
If I don't turn, she will paw my head (without claws out) but if I don't
turn she gets annoyed and will put her claws out and gently let me know she
is there by pressing down her claws. I woke up one night half dreaming that
my head was being cut somehow. Not pleasant!! She curls up by me for about
5 minutes, then she's off. I do leave her here with my husband an daughter
when I venture up to our cabin with my dogs. She is quite indignant when I
come back and ignores me for about half the next day. Eventually, she
forgives me though and is back to her sweet self.
Lee, thanks. Mostly I can laugh at the temper tantrums too.
Cindy, very cute about Emma and her toes!
Sandy & Rosario, yep, clearly Princess is in charge here…and Sandy, very
cute about Rufus giving you the “Cut Direct.” Princess prefers yelling her
displeasure.
Xina, ouch with the claws at night! Princess spends part of
the night on the bed, and the remainder roaming around. Every once in
awhile she gets lonely in the middle of the night, and will wake me up,
crying pathetically, from the living room. I have to yell for her to come
to bed, and she then does, purring all the way.
