A rare moment of humble gratitude
from Bobi the Rat Fink Pip-squeak Cat,
who demands access to a window he can't jump up to.
Ah, I knew it wouldn't last
His little bed
is actually a footrest from our favorite recliner,
the one previous cats had sharpened claws on.
Scratching post? Chair smell like human.
So, the chair was destroyed
by our three offspring who played hide-and-seek under the chair,
Bailey, the collie who thought she OWNED this chair,
and our first pair of ginger toms, Timmy and Tommy, who boycotted scratching posts and went for the chair.
Landfill? My beloved recliner?
Admitting defeat, I let the chair go, but not before parting out the good parts.
Like that footrest. Perfect cat bed! Fits the window sill!
Am I too nice to this cat, or what?
I open that window for him, give him his favorite footrest,
and no matter how carefully I put him up there, he must
use his back legs to spring up.
Note to self:
Always wrap arms before giving Bobi the window.
He howls at the basement door for me to get him there.
Why, why, why do I serve the little smooth-brain?
I ought to recycle YOU, Bobinski. Now I know why we had to bail you out of the pound!
Thank you, @timsaid, for MyPictureDay Challenge
I'm not entering for a prize, but just because I love animal photos. I found MyPictureDay Challenge via @kona's Daily Pet Photography.
Samsung 6 smartphone
I beam photos to Facebook first to copy and paste to Steemit. Emailing to myself is a hassle with Download app and the horror of trying to find anything again. Like, six steps, at least, to get there again, none of it intuitive or memorable.
