Useless Kitty?


Last weekend a fly got in the house. It was a pretty big one and buzzed around. Atlas was here and he tried to catch it but he was too slow. Macy also tried to catch it and she would follow it around waiting for a land. Then she stopped and walked up to it. Too slow to catch it. Every day she would try to catch this fly with no success.

Yesterday she was on the back of the couch and she was scowling at me. I made eye contact and told her “you need to get rid of that fly”. I told her she needed to earn her way around here by doing something. While scolding her I reminded her she got a spider 5 years ago. It’s not too much to ask that she do something once every 5 years.
Her reaction was to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. The more I scolded her the more it was a waste of time. She Was not listening and her eyes closed. Strangely today the fly is gone. Perhaps she did nothing and it just left. Maybe she took it down and earned her keep. I guess we’ll never know for sure but her attitude is that she is still royalty and we are lucky to have her!
