Indisposed/Animals

I have been sick. I am still slightly recovering from surgery. I had laprascopic gallbladder removal. Even though it was minor, the recovery the first week is horrible! I am now able to move around comfortably, and do my regular housework and all that. I am back now and will continue on my posting.


My first post will be about animals. I have a cat. Rusty, we have had him for 2 years. He is an orange tabby. Fixed. He is a loner, but loves attention. He ran away 2 nights ago. Usually when he does(if he manages to get out) he hides in this drainage ditch by our house. Last night he made it back. He was scratching at our back door. Surprised me! My husband was happy he was back of course. Well last night as Im laying to try and fall asleep, he decided to meow and claw everything. (He wanted attention). So I pat my blanket and he jumps up. He is moving and purring, and just won't lay still. I push him down and pet him and he still manages to move. UGH! LAY DOWN CAT! Is all I'm thinking. QUIT MOVING. I know he is thinking YEA PET ME MORE I MOVE MORE. YEA GOT YOU AWAKE NOW!! Ugh. This cat was frustrating me. So I stopped petting him. That bit me in the hand, and my leg. Stupid cat. So I sit him down on the floor.

I finally drift off to sleep. Around 3 am(when the ghost come out to spook people, they are REAL PEOPLE! :P). So around that time, I head a loud bang and I start contemplating on waking my husband or not. I don't. I lay frozen in fear thinking if I don't move they won't find us. I finally decide to get up and check it out. I come downstairs ever so slowly and start thinking of the worst scenarios. I make it to my kitchen. I am so afraid to flip on the switch. But I do it with such a fast motion that you can't see my hand. I look around and see my cat, on my island, knocking things down. I yell at him and he slowly turns gives me this look, the STOP PETTING ME HUH look and slowly jumps off the counter. And I promise you, he swished his hips. Like he won. Stupid cat!!

How many of you have ever had problems with your animals?! I love my cat but he drives me insane! Share your stories with me!
