I haven't forgotten that I promised to finish my thoughts on the story of the prodigal from Luke 15. It is some bouncing around in my head and I haven't got the discipline yet to put it down in writing but I will. Today I have to talk about pets because that is what interests me during the day when I am all alone.
Neither cat has attacked the Christmas tree so that is good. It might be because the big scary dog lays on the couch closest to the tree. I think Atlas feels a little bit robbed. He knows something Happened to the last cat and he can tell the new ones are not the same cat. He seemed a little taken aback when both of them are out here together. Neither one backs down when he comes to sniff them. Slim just ignores him and Lacy waits until will he walks away and then she hisses and bats at him. He still can't figure out why we don't get a kitty who likes him. Poor little puppy. Last night Lacy was making howling noises at him and he wasn't even close to her. We told him you would get his own kitty and think he believed us and is hurt that these kitties don't like him. I guess we should have let him pick out a kitty.
When we went and looked for a cat, they suggested Slim and Lacy because we wanted declawed and older than kittens. They were listed as declawed on their website but they checked and found it were both declawed. We didn't want to deal with the kitty stuff and I need a declawed cat so I don't suffer if they knead their paws on me like Macy is to do. She wasn't declawed she would have left bloody holes in me. So far neither cat is very cuddly. My wife can pick either one up and Lacy doesn't mind but Slim wiggles and wants down. We think the cats will be more outgoing after Atlas goes home when Tom's deployment is done. One day Lacy jumped up on my lap but didn't stay very long. They are both younger than Macy was when we got her so maybe they'll slow down and become lap kitties and they get older.
At the shelter we had decided on taking Lacy home. When my wife told them that they said that Lacy and Slim were a bonded pair who came from the same home. They had to stay together. I'm thinking now that they just thought we were suckers and that we would take both which we did. You know they say there's a sucker born every minute. I have never been blessed to common sense and definitely overthink things. It was my wife that said we would take both cats so I trusted her because she has lots of common sense. Having both cats is definitely interesting especially when they both come in the living room. I wanted to mention one other thing about them being a bonded pair. I was afraid that Slim would be mean to her because he is bigger. Is a very long cat and tall and does afraid you would pick on her because she is a little smaller. Guess what though she picks on him. If they are near each other and she doesn't want him there she will hiss at him and smack him. Somebody bought them a banana toy with catnip in it. She would like to would not let him near. She is a bully to him. If they were a bonded pair they were a strange bonded pair. Oh well there ours now and were getting pretty attached to them. Atlas is seemed pretty insecure and is even more glued to my wife when she is home and he was before. He stated me longer at bedtime and he used to because I think he is protecting me from the mean kitties or is afraid that I will give them attention said of him. I have to say I find these animals very entertaining.
