    VENETIAN BLIND BLUES...OR HOW TO STRUM THE BLINDS!

    OH GROAN!!!!!!

    I wish she just wouldn't do it!! Seems each morning around 4AM ~ Sophie decides she has had enough of her quiet and down time...so she begins strumming the Venetian Blinds in the Master Suite ~ where I am sleeping...awakes me...and until I actually place two feet on the floor and yell at her...she will not stop.

    I am not certain how to cure her of this deliberate act of RISE AND SHINE...but I can assure you ~ I am not a happy camper...

    As a matter of fact, I have thought of all sorts of ways to stop this utter nonsense ~ but, I believe the Humane Society would be knocking on my door.

    With no relief in sight for this bru-ha-ha ~ and I am not in the least laughing ~ I have lost hours and hours of sleep over this.

    See ~ I believe that her waking me in such a fashion ~ she then struts her stuff ~ bush tail in the air ~ as she directs me and leads me down the hallway to the kitchen and refrigerator...where...HORRORS!!!

    She has to wait until I open it and retrieve her special treat: Boar's Head Smoked Turkey...just a few morsels...but she definitely knows what she is doing.

    As for me ~ I am wrestling with finding another way to keep her quiet ~ just not sure I can get away with it..

    Yawn!!!!!!

    THE RUNNING OF THE CAT...

    THIS SHOULD BE LIKE THE RUNNING OF THE BULLS...

    For I truly believe there is nothing like this cat..SOPHIE!!  Into everything...more than a bit inquisitive...and most assuredly ~ ~ aggravating.

    If I told you what she did this AM, you would be astounded...and I am of a mind to believe that there just is not anything she would not do...but I won't share it because it is really embarrassing to note.

    Let's just say...this is something I would not want her to have done in public and with a house full of guests!!

    She opens doors ~ drawers ~ and nothing is safe! My son ~ who is living here for awhile ~ is also a Football Referee on Sunday afternoons ~ and has the full gear for it..

    He has the whistle and the yellow flags...which are two yellow cloths, with a large enough stone inside and then a hair elastic band around it to hold the stone in..so when he must throw it, it flies to the ground and lands where it is supposed to...

    Sophie believes for some reason, these belong to her. And, she finds them...and then I will find them on the floor somewhere in the house.

    So, I have insisted that my son leaves them in a top drawer in the bedroom, one she cannot possibly open because she cannot get footing to do so...and it is high up in the air (tall dresser)....and even though she has somehow managed to get on top of the dresser from time to time..she has not yet learned how to open the drawer. I am certain if she knew they were in there, she would find a way to pry it open/....

    Perhaps with a crowbar!! Ya think?????

    Have a great day...filled with hairballs...and fur.

    My ensemble' is never complete unless it comes with cat hair!!

    Chic?
