Feline Friday: Smelling (like) a rose

May 26th, 2006 by Kimberly

On our anniversary, my sweetheart gave me this perfect yellow rose. I placed the rose in a vase. I got my camera. I set the vase on the windowsill in our bedroom.

Sasha wanted to smell the rose.

And Sergei? He wanted to eat it. I took this photo just moments before he bit into one of the small leaves, and attempted to pull to rose out of the vase. Fortunately, I caught the vase - a wedding present - before it hit the floor. Rose and vase are now safe on the mantle.

Every animal comes out smelling like a rose at the Friday Ark. Stop to smell the flowers at the Carnival of the Cats, at Niobium on Sunday.

    The cats have to check everything out. Nothing can be changed in a room without their approval. Is the rose really safe on the mantel. I had a bamboo plant. The only place it was safe was on top of the fridge.

    I remember the time my cat singed half his whiskers off, smelling a lit candle. Crazy cats.

    […] Mad Goat Lady could have had a very different outcome if Cassie drank what she shouldn’t have and the same for Music and Cats. Over at StrangeRanger the two sides come together for the tough negotations. After which a nap is required. […]
