Feline Friday: Begging

November 23rd, 2007 by Kimberly

This cat wants something from you:

i want that

This cat is telling you that he wants something from you:

please, please, please, pretty please

This cat has a small voice for one so large. Mrerr, he says. Mrerr, mrowrrrrr.

What does this cat want?

Not petting. This cat likes petting, and arches his back under your hand, but when you stop… Mrerr… mrerr… prrowrrr.

Not turkey. This cat does not care for turkey. Mrerr… mrerr… mrerrrrrr…

What does this cat want?

Oh, this cat wants a stalk of wheat from the Thanksgiving flower arrangement. To hear him tell it, this cat needs a stalk of wheat. Mrerr… mrerr… mrerrrrrr… Lovely, crunchy wheat.

It does not matter that the prickly awns on the stalks cause this cat to make horrible gakking, choking sounds after chewing on them. Mrerr… mrerr… prrowrrr.

This cat is more polite than some bunnies, but no less insistent. Mrerr… mrerr… mrerr… …mrerr, mrowrrrrr.

What will happen next? Will you:
(a) ignore this cat’s request, no matter how long and piteous his begging.
(b) throw out the stalks of wheat, just to get this cat to shut up.
(c) using your kitchen shears, carefully clip the awns from a stalk of wheat before handing it over to this cat.

Well? Mrerr… mrerr… mrowrrrrr.

You can get what you want — if what you want is more photos of animals — aboard the Friday Ark.

    And even after you snip the awns and he gacks all over the floors, the carpets, the hall stairs and the back porch and you’ve had to clean up after him… he’ll still beg for more next year. LOL

    Oh how much I miss my kids when I see yours! Love you kitties!
