Well it’s a bit late, but I don’t think it is ever too late to do a Caturday post of Fig.

So here is a photo, of Figaro, on a box. It was a tall box with an open top and my dirty quilt drapped over it. Basically it was a make-shift hammock.

Enjoy.

Well, I figured it was time I finally took the torch from bren and did a little caturday post. Just a little side note, these pictures aren’t all from the same day. They are spread out over a couple months.

Was just looking through my photos of Fig, and I must say he is quite the lazy feline. Almost all my pictures involve him either sleeping, resting, sitting or doing nothing at all. No action shots, no playing, no activity.

All he seems to do is sleep, sleep some more, eat, use the litter box and, you guessed it, sleep some more. Once in awhile he does quirk out and go into kitty-rage mode where they freak out at specks of dust on the floor. Sometimes he’ll come flying out of the basement making the door slam shut, thus requiring someone to open it so he can get his ass back down there.

Only two things can get him moving, and fast. The first one is this fabric tail on a stick. He loves it so much he forgets the laws of physics and will roll off the edge of a bed while going after it.

The second, is the prospect of food. If he thinks he has any chance of getting food, he is more alert than a teenager cranking on coffee. He begs like a dog as well at the dinner table. He’ll get annoying in the kitchen, put his paws up to the counter top. He has a real long stretch, I measured his full outreach from rear to front paws at over four feet; so he can easily reach the counter top.

In this last photo here, that is actually my leg on the right side of the photo. He originally started out sleeping on his gut and side. I slowly moved my leg over more and more which slowly rotated him into the finally position. He did’t complain, I’m not even sure he woke up. He also stayed like that for a good while after the initial rotation.

So you decide. Fig: The King of Lazy?

Since it’s Caturday I get to talk about my kitty…again.

Yesterday I took Meeka to the vet to get her stitches removed from when she was ‘fixed’. I sat there, waiting, for over 30 minutes. When it was finally her turn we went into the room and I swear, it took less than a minute. Ugh.

While I was waiting, there was a woman there with her small child (I’d guess 5 or 6 years old) and a cute little puppy. That puppy was sooo adorable. Big floppy ears and big dumpy paws on a small body. I wanted to take him home he was so cute and sweet. But that kid…wow was he a little brat. I wanted to scream!

The mother clearly had NO control over her child. He was picking his nose and wiping it on the seat next to me (arg). Then he’d take the little pins off of the board that held pet pictures and he’d put them on a chair. He was rolling around on the floor, grabbing the dog, laying on the dog…just out of control. She did try, but there’s so much you can do without spanking said kid. So of course he didn’t listen. I could imagine her screaming at him once they got home.

Okay, so I’m not really going anywhere with that one. I just had to mention it to get it out because I really could have screamed.

Then there was another guy there who just couldn’t sit still. He seemed kind of young, late teens I guess. His shorts were hanging low and I could see his underwear when he stood in front of me while he was checking out things on the counter. God, he was everywhere, and talking to everyone. No, there wasn’t anything ‘wrong’ with him in ‘that’ way. He just seemed hyper. Or maybe he was on something, I dunno. But you could see it on the faces of the people he’d talk to that they really didn’t want to talk to him.

Another thing I had to mention because I could have screamed (again). lol Remember, I had to sit and wait for over 30 minutes. The time clicked by very, very slowly.

And this post went totally off my kitty post didn’t it. Oh well…a little bit of ranting here with my Caturday post. At least I added some cute pictures of her. *L*

My God, a white cat is hard to paint. I didn’t realize how difficult it could be until I tried Meeka. Not only that, but I have her on this red satin type background and that is pissing me off too. I’m having a hard time ’seeing’ the folds and it’s not coming out the way I want it to. BUT I am stubborn. I WANT to paint my Meeka. I am getting tired of looking at that red background right now though, so time to take a little break.

Yesterday was one of those days I was running around like a nut. Errands, errands and more errands. By the time I got home it was time to make supper, so I was rushing to put everything away. Well I ended up stepping on Meeka’s paw. The poor thing just got declawed. UGH. I’m not even sure which paw I stepped on. All I heard was this high pitched meow, which made me jump, and then I saw a white fur ball dashing into the next room. Now she looks at my sneakers and I swear she is scared of them (I don’t blame her). Poor thing. Boy, I felt so_bad. But today she seems ok. So I guess I didn’t hurt her as bad as I thought. I was afraid I had done some damage. She’s been through enough and I just want her back to her old self again. My little spazz.

I’m just glad it’s Saturday and I have nothing to do. No errands, no cleaning…just me time. I spend all week doing that stuff so weekends are pretty much my lazy days.

Gotta love the weekends, eh?

Meeka is growing up so fast. Where does the time go??

And she is still my little spazz. The other day she discovered ‘the counter’. I caught her up there chewing a nice little hole through a loaf of french bread. Right in the middle of it. Weird how much she loves bread.

I’ve been sick for the past few weeks and ran out of tissues. So what can you do but grab a role of toilet paper, right? Well Meeka decided that would make a good toy, and I found the roll all chewed up and scattered all over my living room floor the next morning. What a nice mess that was.

Okay, so these pictures of her don’t match my little stories, but I like these. So I’m posting them.

She’ll be going in on October 3rd to be ‘fixed’. I’m a little worried for her, and I hope everything turns out ok. I’m so attached to her, and if anything happened I don’t know what I’d do. As it is, she needs to stay over for 2 days, and it’s going to be so weird without her around…constantly. Being an indoor cat and deaf is so so different. You wouldn’t believe how much she follows me around. She hardly ever goes far from my side. But I really do love that. ^^
