Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for November 02, 2023

They’re being petty.

You knows how them animals is claims their territory does you not hyoomins? They is lifts their legs and is mark their spots.

To be followed by a certain odour.

No flag is needed for them to mark their spots.

I like the contrasting flag colours.

Dibs on the middle!

My cat has claimed the body pillow that’s on top of my mattress.

Wherever your spot is, that’s where they want to be.

I like the blank frame.

“Oh, for Pee’s sake!”

Draw diagonal lines from corners to corners and the X in the very center of the bed – that is where they prefer to be. I swear they know that spot within a fraction of an inch.

Ha! Somehow I don’t think the battle is over.

Shouldn’t they wait until they make the spots first?

Mattress humor can be so Sealy.

That’s silly. Everyone knows the cat gets the absolute center of the bed.

We had a brother and sister cat and they seemed to have some system whereby one would sleep with us one night and then the other got a turn. However if we went away on holidays and finally came back, for a week or so, all bets were off and they just decided to share. They really missed us. It was kind of sweet, although we felt pinned to the bed. LOL

Cats are always drawn with whiskers. Dogs, never.

Serta-nly, they can find a resolution.

The cat seems to be in the wrong position for the head . . . ?
