Cats and Guests

24 Replies

We had a couple of guests over for dinner yesterday evening. Before eating we sat on the catio and had some wine and cheese. Of course, Frankie and Floki were both interested in what we were doing.

They were pretty well behaved most of the evening but after I cleared most of the dinner plates from the table, Frankie jumped on it. He seemed interested in getting pets from our two guests and had to maneuver around wine glasses to do it. I watched from the kitchen and laughed as Rose attempted to get Frankie off the table, first by yelling at him, which he ignored, and then by trying to move him physically, which he resisted with all his strength.

In the end, Frankie came out on top in the “who’s the boss” competition.

Photo Friday: Classic Holly

Here is my sister-in-law’s cat, Holly, from ten years ago today. Holly was the original bad cat and my wife and I loved watching her antics. Being naughty can be quite entertaining. Before adopting Chris we would joke that we wanted to take her home but we knew that Felice would never part with her.

Chris was like a male version of Holly, perhaps even a little more naughty, but Chris eventually became overweight and his naughtiness died down a bit while Holly is about fifteen now and can still hold her own in the bad cat category.

We let the cat’s outside for their weekly romp in the backyard. Puck immediately caught a lizard and then brought it in the house. That distracted me long enough for Frankie to run up the palm tree and get on the roof, and again I missed recording it. At least now I know how he did it.

Frankie then led me on a wild goose chase around the neighborhood while Chris was busy investigating our neighbor’s patio. In other words, it was a typical day.
