cats!!

Cats....I love them to death, but sometimes....well, they make me want to drink a beer at 8 in the morning.

Bronte, my dear old tortie girl of 16, has a thing for my tea mugs, insists on head butting them.  Always has.  I know this.  So, why do I leave a mug of tea out on the counter near where she plants herself each day?  Oh yeah, I'm having a senior moment while I'm doing other chores.   I heard the mug hit the counter, but there was nothing I could do but listen to the splash of its entire contents hit my kitchen floor and run down the cabinets.  Apparently she thinks I need one more chore in the morning.  Silly me.

You'd think Bronte would learn about hot tea, but she never has.  Years ago she head-butted my hand as I held my mug of just-poured boiled water, and she got a nice splash of it on top of her head.  She had a burn about the size of a quarter there and no hair at that spot for a while.  But, she still insists on head-butting my mugs to this day.

I don't try to understand these things, most of the time I just try to avoid them.  Of course, she is packed up in the shipping box and ready to go, if anyone wants her. lol!
