Little B*tches


I adopted my cat a few months ago. I can't imagine how I ever lived without him. I wake up in the morning and he is poised over me, ready to strike. I scream and he runs. It is a refreshing way to wake up.

Hissy (the cat), steals stuff that reminds him of me and stashes them under my bed. I'm not sure why the kitchen sponge reminds him of me, but it's under my bed with my fishnets and a bra and one of my shower gloves. Yes, I wear gloves in the shower. My skin is deliciously soft.

Originally, I wanted a dog. I had a dog purse, a name, and several outfits picked out for him. We were going to spend every moment together. I was even going to pick up his little turds. That's a love like I have never known. I found a breeder. She looked human, but she swore that she had the most adorable teacup Yorkies this side of the Mississippi. I didn't want her to probe into my sex life, so I didn't ask how she bred all those adorable puppies. I've done it that way and I've never had a litter.

I ended up adopting Hissy because, in the end, I decided that there is only enough room for one little b*tch in here.

I have given this a lot of thought and have developed a theory. I am almost a lap dog. Especially, when it comes to relationships.

Like a lap dog, I'm kind of annoying. I yap a lot. I might hump your leg. I've been known to puke on the rug. I want to go for a ride in the car. I'll gladly stick my nose in your crotch. It's best to keep me on a short leash. I need my nails trimmed. Sometimes, I have crud in the corners of my eyes. I want to eat at the table. That spot on my stomach drives me crazy. I can lick my own...nevermind.

I need to go outside. I have to go.

Cats will lay down on your face and smother you in your sleep, you know. Would Hissy fit into a gerbil cage--just for your safety during sleep?

Oh my Gingerness, I lurve you so much.

You're such a good girl, yes you are. You're so pretty babydoll. Aw, you're such a pretty baby, such a pretty girl you are.

You want a treat? Huh? Do you? You want a treat? Can you shake? If you shake, you get a pair of Pedro Garcia two-tone platforms, because you're such a good girl. Oh, the low cut pattern with the high, high heel--yes, you like it, don't you, Mama's baby.

Oh, give me kiss.

Now I know that you can be trusted... You have a cat.

The question is, can the cat be trusted?

How long until it attempts to break your neck by pushing you over the stairs? Be wary of their attempts. They curl around your legs and try to make you trip.

On second thoughts, don't answer that.

Gotta know - how much do you enjoy picking cat turds out of the litter box? And do they make a cat purse?

And do you sniff butts?

Your post left me with so many more questions than answers! Thanks for the Friday puzzles.

jocelyn,

I have threatened the guinea pig that they will have to shack up together.

123,

Of course, I'll kiss you. You know, my mouth is like seven times cleaner than the average person's mouth.

nwjr,

I bet it smelled if it got wet.

alison,

All true.

deezee,

We've been sneaking around for months now. I had to tell you somehow.

lyze,

I have not broken my neck yet. Hissy can keep trying.

phishez,

Sure, blame the cat.

killer,

I second that.

bice,

That's pretty much how my last break up went. I was stranded on the highway for hours.

orhan,

I would have needed several purses to match all of my shoes.

shadow,

I throw hissy fits. He just hisses.

spoon,

I love horses.

odat,

I would feel just like a princess.

trish,

And how does that make you feel?

fab,

Am up to date. See my tags?

yibin,

I have lots of questions.

Thanks for coming by.

puss,

I chased a car this morning. Almost got myself killed.

ranger,

I suppose the dog had a fabulous a$$ too.

lux,

Don't be put off by the name Hissy. He really is very sweet; sharp on every side, but sweet.

wreck,

I changed my mind. I want to come back in.

av,

I love pickles. I've gotten myself into plenty.

cheeky,

Sylvester should tell Hissy to put my stuff back in the shower.

ctw,

Here's the part where you give me a treat.

reba,

Hissy is pretty easy. I just have to protect myself in my sleep.

yasamin,

I love it when you talk shoes to me.

slick,

I have been known to drool a little bit.

nolff,

I was a gymnast. If you only knew.

furious,

Your dog talks? Or does he say it in poetry?

swamp,

The Chihuahua Persian is bred to cough up hairballs on the kitchen floor and not on the rug. Very expensive breed.

lee,

I leave when I run out of dental floss.

tigger,

I spend a lot of time in front of the litter box. Hissy helps me by reaching in and flinging litter at my face.

michael,

I suppose you're right. We would have ripped each other to shreds. With a cat, I am the only one being ripped to shreds.

claudia,

Think of me however you please. Just, think of me often.

matt,

I can play dead and shake.

choo,

Do you get your dog's handmedowns?

Ignoring the obvious "Hey you could make big bucks selling tickets to a showing of that licking thing...."

My dog was raised with cats. She thinks she is one. Consequently when you rub her stomach she growls. She thinks she's purring. She loves to do it, and she's really loud about it.

It's fun to watch it scare the crap out of strangers.

Cats came before humans, which should mean that they should be the dominant species. But when we arrived, we overthrown their furry butts.
Now they are contemplating to kill us. Ever hear of deadly car accidents on the radio? They are caused by cats who are going to the vet.

One of my cats, while I was petting it on the head (which it likes), swatted at me for no f**king reason whatsoever!!! And I'm not exactly fond of dogs because they sniff my butt and crotch. I'm afraid they'll bite and...well, you know what'll happen next.

There is a bit of wolf in me, however. I howl to the moon, and I do a damn good wolf howl. AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
