My wife’s pussy
I said things had been a bit chaotic over the last few days.
We had an all day kind of appointment on Friday which would have been a long if somewhat boring story in its own right.
We got home to find the house full of dozens of Grandkids. Well. actually there was only the two but they can spread themselves around a bit. They stayed for the weekend with one tiny respite where one went home and a different one arrived. They take it in shifts to visit now.
Things came to a bit of a head today.
For years Herself has been nagging at me. Now this is perfectly normal and has been going on for decades but for the last couple of years the demand has been for a cat.
I will be honest. I am not a cat person. Dogs win hands down every time in my book. I will tolerate a cat all right but that’s it. The problem though is that while I am a dog person, our dog is a Grandad person and the two of us are virtually inseparable. Herself , being the jealous type is somewhat miffed about this and has been turning a delicate shade of green for a while now.
I relented [as I always do] and as a result, we have a new addition to the family.
His name is officially Malone, though I think I’ll call him Ho. [Ho Malone … geddit?].
So far we have had a few Mexican standoffs with Penny. The latter is more curious than anything but is generally ignoring the new intruder. Maybe she’s just being sensible and is waiting for us to leave the room before tucking into a nice meal of Feline on the Bone? Time will tell.
Hopefully Herself will quieten down a bit now and stop the nagging. She has her cat so what more can she want?
Am I to look forward to some peace and quiet?
Cat’s chance in Hell……..
A rescue? Good for you!
Welcome JuliaM!
Yes indeed. A French girl who is living in Dublin and is about to lose her flat was desperately looking for a home for him. Not only did she bring the cat [who is already neutered and vaccinated] but all the equipment too – beds, litter tray [and bags of litter], food, grooming tools the whole works. A whole cat-kit as distinct from a kit-cat?
He will exert his authority in good time and Penny will comply if she knows what’s good for her. It’s the natural order of things.
We just had our first sign of aggression. Penny bared her teeth and threw a snap at the cat. She waited until she was safely behind a glass door first though. All the signs are there already – Cat is Top Dog.
Its clear to me then LR, that you never met a dog like my American Pit Bull.
I bet you can’t wait until he gets to the point where he’ll wait until you’re on your laptop to walk across your keyboard…or newspaper…or the book you’re reading…
You never know – he might start doing guest posts?
Fantastic! The cat will win you round, dogs are owned by authoritarians and you’re not one of those. Malone will turn you 😉
I don’t own a dog. We’re just good friends. And the cat won’t turn me.
The old maxim – “Dogs have masters, cats have servants…”
If Herself is prepared to be a servant, then so be it…..
Hi ho
😀
I’d be gutted to have to leave a beloved pet for rehoming so I have some sympathy with the French mademoiselle. Bon chance with Malone, who may be bilingual or even trilingual? 🙂 Did he come with a dictionary?
I think mademoiselle was more preoccupied with the prospect of a new boyfriend. She was obviously sad to leave him but was delighted with us and the house. She had good taste.
The French have a discerning palette and Monsieur Malone might be expecting something a bit more upmarket than your average cat nosh, caviar and the occasional lobster perhaps 🙂
He’ll get what he’s given. And “get off my fucking chair” seems to work in both languages. Or else he’s bilingual.
