You can't make this stuff up

Feb 15, 2007 11:50

In a corner of our office sits a pair of ankle-high lace-up stompy boots. They are sitting there because I'm getting rid of them and haven't yet bothered to retrieve the "get rid of" bin from the shed ( Read more... )

squish, utterly absurd

Oh god the lug-soled feline nemesis! That is utterly hysterical.

ROTFL!!! That is the funniest cat story I've read in ages. Hee Hee! That sounds like something that one of my cats would do. Especially Spunky. She's such a nervous and neurotic fraidy cat. Poor thing. I have to say that I especially love all the visually descriptive terms you used in the retelling of your story, as it made it so much more amusing and entertaining. Of course, the story would've been hilarious regardless, but I appreciate good writing. Not that anyone can tell from the drivel I write.

Hey, if I'm going to tell a story like this, I'm going to tell it well. It deserves nothing less.

Why else do we have pets if not to laugh our asses off at them???

Word. Better than TV.

Gwydion did the same thing when he got the loop handle of a paper bag stuck around his neck. He tore all over the house and I could barely get him to hold still long enough to get it off him.

I would have gladly taken this off him if he he'd slowed down. But he was running so fast we literally couldn't get hold of him.

I'm familiar with the paper bag thing; I had never thought I'd see a cat with a boot stuck to it. That upped the absurdity considerably.

Kid humor is verbal. Cat humor is visual.

I told you the cat vs. pile of pine straw story, right?

Even if you did, I want to hear it.

When I was a kid in Florida, I would periodically have to rake up the foot-long Southern pine needles that covered our lawn. One day our tomcat walked up to a pile I'd made and poked it. Naturally, the needles poked him back. So he swatted it a couple of times to show it who was boss. He got poked some more. So he takes a flying leap into the center of the pile and disappears.

Three seconds elapse.

The cat explodes thrashing out of the pile and flees, never to be seen again near such a pile.
