What just happened ...

[apocalypsos]

Otis: Mom ... *taps me with his paw*
Me: G'way, m'sleepin'. *rolls over*
Otis: Mom ... *taps me again*
Me: Otis, knock it off. *pulls blanket over head*
Otis: MOM. *another tap*

*the sound of chewing wood can be heard from two feet away from the couch*

Me: One of the kids is out, isn't he?
Otis: Yeah, he's chewing on the telephone table. It's okay, though, I've been sitting on the rocking chair watching him do it.
Me: ... gee, thanks. *rolls eyes, gets up to catch Dexter*

No Siamese VS Chinchilla violence? I kinda figured a cat would consider one a biiiig mousie.

Nah, he seems to get the difference between chinchillas (annoying baby brothers!) and mice (unpredictable toys!). Plus, you know, you don't go up against a mouse on steroids when you only have three teeth. ;)

Otis is kind of polite by the standards around here. I get (hard) head bumps and face swats until I respond, and that's only for kitty lovin'. If there was a problem of any sort I'd hear about it at a volume of 11.

He's usually pretty good about not giving me the Patented Siamese Howler Monkey Yowl until six or so. Probably 'cause he knows Mommy's not happy when he does that at three in the morning. :)

That's a relief. I realized the other day that when Caddy gets really over-excited, he barks. Fortunately he doesn't do that when Mommy is sleeping. Then I get the half-purr, half-meow, a kind of juicy "Brrruppp?" Usually accompanied with increasingly forceful face patting. If the pats and head bumps don't work, then I get tiny bites on my chin, cheek and eyebrows.

They're just the silliest creatures ever to be manufactured by an evil genius, aren't they?
