Today's Hump Day and it's normally the day I go on a mission to AREA 51 at Lakes Cafe and Pub. Today, however, has been a day of resolving problems and putting out fires and I'm still not finished. All is not lost, however, in that I am working diligently to complete my work and attend the worldly discussions being held during happy hour.
My cat, Shithead, on the other hand has decided that today is a fine day to hide and then attack me as I walk by. His Kamikaze-like attitude has only reinforced my belief that in his former life, he was a ninja warrior. After admonishing him many times, he decided it was chow time and went to the kitchen to munch out.
There was peace for about three minutes until he came out of the kitchen meowing with his mouth full of cat food, backed arched, with a look on his face like he had never seen me before in his entire life. He then proceeded to attack my ankle, knowing full well that if one claw penetrated my skin, he would be walking with a limp for a week.
After ascertaining that I was not in the mood to play, he retired to the sofa and at this time is sleeping on his back, front paws in the air and his back feet spread widely in a position that even Britney Spears could not accomplish.

Hey Jimmy!
We are probably rather tired after being up during the middle of the night. I don't think I could handle going to Area 51 tonight.... unless someone drove me there.
Interesting variety of pics today....
Luv ya!

Sheeba likes to hide underneath the pool table in the basement, and when I walk by, he leaps out at me, flailing his front paws. Cracks me up every time. As I walk up the steps, he likes to bite my calves. That part isn't so funny, because his little teeth are SHARP!
Beth
lmao I loved this entry
hugs

I must be a complete dumb-ass because I can't find where these mysterious pics are! Yesterday, just as a completely innocent and random example, you mentioned a nekked Lindsay Lohan and I'm still a-waitin' to see them, er, if I was interested. Is there a link to these daily pics I'm missing?
Dan
Which is why I don't own a cat!

LOL on Shithead. I'm a dog person, actually.
Your pictures were fun. But, the one with the rats put me in shock! LOL!
Love ya,
Pam
Something about the 7 toed felines, they seem to all come with attitude. Socrates sits on a small ledge at the top of the steps and swipes you when you go by. I have scratches on my shoulder from the little terror. An hour later she jumps up in your lap loving as can be, like nothing ever happened. You weren't kidding when you said you had a strange mix of pictures today...(Hugs) Indigo
