Recently Bettina discovered it was Adopt-A-Cat Month. Since then there has been a running
conversation in our house.
Bettina: Mumma!
Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!
Mumma: What
Bettina? Can’t you see that Mumma is
trying to eat?
Bettina: It is
Adopt-A-Cat Month.
Mumma: OK thanks for
that information.
Bettina: We need to
adopt a few cats.
Mumma: I don’t
think that is a great idea.
Bettina: Oh but it
is. Maybe a nice fat juicy one, and a
couple older and slower ones. If you can
get them all declawed, I’d appreciate it.

Mumma: Did you say
juicy?
Bettina: I meant cute
and cuddly.
Mumma: Bettina remember
what happened last time we had a cat around the house?
Bettina: Yes and I
still haven’t forgiven you for that.
Mumma: Forgiven
me? You’re the one who spent three days
trying to eat it.
Bettina: And that
last day I almost had it at the fence. I
can still taste it… OK if we can’t have
three cats how about one? I’ll settle
for fat and juicy, I mean cuddly.
Mumma: Are you
drooling? Sister, we will never be
adopting a cat. That is the nicest thing
we can do for kitties during June.
Bettina: I wish
someone else had adopted me.
Mumma: Yes Princess you
do have the worst luck.
Bettina: Mumma!
Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!
Mumma: What
Bettina?
Bettina: Can I have
10 cookies?
Bwaaaaa ha ha! I think we need to do some research and see if Bettina and Flattery are related! This is the best adopt a cat post I've read all month!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first got Fleur, she had the same sentiments, but turned out to be trainable. I really like this post! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think Bettina might be appeased with cat-shaped cookies for the entire month :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no kitties in our house either! I can't believe you may have seen Dinah! Very small world!
ReplyDeleteUm yes, we're very interested in adopting cats here too ... they don't even have to be covered in gravy! I discovered after moving here that a neighbour has 15 cats, 2 years later he still has 15 cats. They're very fast and very lucky, so far.
