My cat, Shaylee, god love her — she’s trying to drive me insane. I believe it’s a well thought out and deliberate plan too. I mean, look at her…just look at her! That intense, wide-eyed gaze, obviously intent on something just beyond the camera’s view, the tense body posturing that indicates something is clearly worthy of her attention. What is there, do you ask? Well, I’ll tell you…nothing. Nothing is there. It IS nothing, right? Right!? I’m hoping there isn’t something ghostly catching her eye. Nah. I’ll go with nothing. Even then, I’m not sure which is worse. An apparition that only a feline can see or a jerk-cat who enjoys mind games.
This is disturbingly like what I experienced on November 1st 2013 while trying to get a thread of an idea to start with on my first NaNoWriMo project.

I liked that story, someday I might have to actually finish it. BTW, “jerk-cat” is redundant.
Love that entry of yours! You are very creative. And yeah, you’re right jerk-cat is definitely redundant. At least in this house.
Shaylee is so adorable! β€
Thanks! We think so — entertainment at our expense notwithstanding. LOL
π I don’t get cats, man. π
They are sly and devious and I think they were made full of cuteness just to be able to get away with just how awful they are. LOL
she just wants you to think there’s nothing there so you let your guard down and then … ‘ATTACK!!! POUNCE!!!”
She keeps me around for food purposes, but other than that, yeah, there’s no use for me except for entertainment.
I laughed at your fixated cat stare photo!! You are funny and come up with creative posts. π
Thank you! My family and animals give me a lot of material. π
We make the best of what we have but I am not able to write humorously very often. My kids crack up over my ideas and comments but the grandies seem to view me as smart, for the time being. π
