What makes No Kitty Ow Kitty so mean?
Kitty is a mean kitty for so
many reasons. We got Kitty to be a playmate for the 100 lb
slobber machine that is our lab. He was lonely and the
small children who live here off and on just weren't cutting
it. We figured if we got a kitten, then Kitty and dog could
be great friends. WRONG. It took three whole days after we
brought her home just to make her stop hissing and spitting
and biting everyone. Within two weeks, (at 8 weeks old) she
had fully taken control of our house. Kitty is four and a
half months old now and here is her mean list.
1) She waits around the corner
for the dog and when he passes by, she jumps on his face all
claws and teeth.
2) Pursuant to the above, she
makes the dog leave his food bowl whenever she desires to
inspect it
3) When the dog wants to sleep
somewhere that is not his crate, she creep s upon him and
make mincemeat of his most tender places.
4) When he is frustrated with
all the previously described behavior and resorts to chewing
his rawhide or blankie, she torments him by biting and
clawing at them as well until he gives up and goes after
her...at which time he gets put into crate -- "time out."
5) This one is just strange.
She will not drink from her own water bowl and will wait
until AFTER the dog has thoroughly drooled up his own water
before she will drink from his.
And lest you believe we are dog
loving fools...the human list.
1) She has discovered she can
fly and will regularly propel herself from one chair back to
the other, taking care to anchor herself to the skull of the
second chair's occupant. Screaming and cursing do not bother
her.
2) Whenever long hair is
presented to her, she will climb it, eat it, pull it. Once
again, screaming, cursing, and violent jerking of the head
do not disturb her in the least.
3) I don't think I even need to
go into detail about the requisite Meankitty biting,
kicking, and scratching.
4) She has decided that she MUST
be in whatever room I am in. If I do not allow her to
follow me, she will stand and scream until I let her in (at
which point I must dig her out of whatever hidey-hole she
has found, at great peril to my flesh) or go back to where I
was originally.
5) Last, but certainly not
least, she has discovered her most emotionally scarring
trick. She will lie in a seemingly docile pose upon your
chest as you watch television, and when the reflection from
the TV on your eyeball becomes too much for her, she will
poke you directly ON THE EYE. You cannot blink or move your
head fast enough. Trust me. She did it twice, in both
eyes, in five minutes.
I used to read the kitty
profiles on this website and think that these were strange
and isolated cases. Now I know how very wrong I was.
P.S. Though there have been
many suggestions for a proper name for Kitty.. my favorite
so far is "Darth Vicious."
