The Man should know better than to attempt to eat a tuna fish sandwich in an apartment, with four wild jungle cats, without at least making an offering to the felines first.
So before my cat went deaf, I had somewhat trained her to understand that if I said a certain phrase, it meant she would get tuna. She was sleeping in the living room once, and I was in the kitchen opening a can. I said, in kind of a loud voice, “Look what Mama’s got!” Suddenly it sounds like a tornado is hitting the living room, and those that are in there watching TV start yelling in surprise. Next thing I know, there’s this tiny “meow” right by my feet. Another time, my mom asked me does saying that really work. I said it again and it was like a herd of elephants running down stairs. Yes Mom, it really worked.
And in case you’re wondering, my cat has always weighed about 5 lb.
OT: HELP w/a 2 wk. young baby….My neighbor is fostering a kitten, why, I don’t know because she knows nothing about doing it. I have it here right now. She’s feeding abt. every 4 hours. Don’t they need to eat like every 2? I got it to pee using a warm wet paper towel, SHE’S putting it on litter. NO NO! She also is trying to feed it the food I’m giving my old cat, out of a can. Now, my question is this; how often DO they need to be fed AND do they poop? I know mama licks it to “go”. Should the kitten formula be room temp and not kept in fridge? If ANYONE who has fostered one this young, I need info ASAP to give her and myself, as I THINK I’ll be doing this while she’s at work.
Meanwhile, our tortie, Isobel, stole a bunch of spam musubi off the counter yesterday. She didn’t eat the spam. She didn’t eat the rice. She picked all the nori off and left the rest on the kitchen floor.
I am appalled at all the victim blaming here today. This is all on the cats! The man should make himself another sandwich and eat it just outside the window, with the cats watching every delicious bite. They deserve it.
I just had a flashback to the Underwood canned meat spread products. Remember those commercials, with Mason Reese? “Four meat sandwiches for under a dollar!” He failed to mention that the depth of each of those meat sandwiches was about two millimeters.
I have one of those little portable carpet cleaners. It has gotten us through years and years of spot cleaning the carpet. Does a nice job in the car as well.

Now that it’s the end of this arc, I’ve got to admit: I don’t like tuna.

“Fairly annoyed.” Puck, that is the understatement of the year!
Hopefully, you are in front of a green screen and not as close to the “annoyed” Woman as you appear.

The Woman looks more than a little “annoyed “!

Puck should be getting combat pay. Her cold glare will give him a cold.

If you ask me, the Woman should be more annoyed with the Man than the cats. He’s the one who brought the sandwich into the carpeted room.

Hopefully the man is out somewhere buying a sappy apology card along with a big box of apology candy or cookies!

The Man should go get a tuna sandwich to go (and eat it in the car) and a big bottle, bag, or box of the Woman’s favorite treat!

There’s a lady who’s annoyed, cause of all that stains glitterin’ “gold”
And she’s brushing a hallway heave ho!
When she gets there she knows, the cats’ eyes are all closed
With a growl she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and the sandwich’s on a stairway to heaven

Cats rubbed the wrong way against carpets, sparking outrage.
Cats to abStain from the carpet area in protest against not being fed tuna.

We now present you the mini musical: Oh-Cat-Homa
Lupin rides to Aunt Goldie and Uncle Elvis’ ranch on his vac, Tessa:
Lupin: There’s the scent of catnip in the meadow!
There’s the scent of catnip in the meadow!
The stream’s tide is high as the fish all swim by,
And there’s plenty of kibble piled up to the sky!
Oh, what a beautiful morning!
Oh what a beautiful day!
I’ve got a beautiful feeling,
Breakfast is coming my way!
Aunt Goldie: Morning, Lupin. What brings you to the ranch?
Lupin: I’ve come to ask Beatrix to the barbecue at Tommy’s ranch.
Uncle Elvis: Well, here she is. Go on and ask her.
Enter Beatrix
Lupin: Bea, would you like to go to the barbecue at Tommy’s ranch next week?
Bea: I sure would, Lupin. How do figure on getting there?

They had best avoid the Woman for a while, then turn on the charm when her anger cools.

Lupin: Well, I kinda figured it would be like this: (Surrey With the Fringe on Top)
We will ride right out in a flurry,
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Down that road we’ll fly, I’m a-thinkin’
In a cloud of dust, we’ll be blinkin’
Some will try to catch up with the surrey, in the dust they’ll drop!
The vacs are lined up, ready to pull us real fast,
They beep in anticipation,
Down the road we’re going, with the landscape so vast,
It won’t be such a long duration!
Vacs beepin’ and spinnin’ all around, and around
We’re gonna be a sensation!
In a cloud of dust, I’m a thinkin’
All them vac lights blinkin’ and blinkin’
To Tommy’s barbecue we will surely stop
With that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top!
Bea: Well, that sounds awful pretty, but do you think the vacs will agree to it?
Lupin: No, but I did get Tessa and Wheels to give us a lift.
Bea: Well, then I accept.
Lupin: Hey, looks like Puck is riding up with Tortie!
