Twice
today our geriatric kitty showed me that she doesn’t understand the concept of
aging. This morning Jezebel took a running leap for the sofa arm and landed
belly first across it. The little brat scrabbled up, unhurt, and trotted across the cushions.

| Me, a brat? Naw... |
Whew…
Fast
forward to early afternoon. I went downstairs to use our NordicTrack. Five
minutes into the planned twenty, I saw Jezebel sniffing around the table legs
supporting my laptop. Without fanfare she leapt for the top and, again, didn’t
stick the landing.
Watching
her fall (again unhurt and unfazed, thank heaven) upset me to the point I
stopped exercising, picked her up, and cuddled her in a nearby chair for
several minutes. Perhaps next time I’ll close the cellar door behind me.
Meanwhile,
Sandee of Comedy Plus shared some comical quips today. Ironically, my favorite
regards aging. Check out her Happy Tuesday post if you want a chuckle.
How
many times did you hear “Act your age” as a child? How many parents say such a
thing these days, do you think?
Jezebel, you keep honoring the kitten inside of you!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to ACT MY AGE, whatever that's supposed to mean...I may look middle-aged on the outside, but I'm still a punkass kid on the inside!
I'm with you, though I wish we could enforce a 'no running' rule. Heh...
DeleteI've never acted my age and don't plan on starting now. What fun would that be. None.
ReplyDeleteJezebel would scare me too, but she knows what she can and can't do. Good for her.
Have a fabulous day, my friend. Big hug. ♥
I hope you are right. ~sigh~ One bad fall causing a broken hip could end it all. :( Hugs back at ya, my dear.
DeleteJezebel would have said "I meant to do that !"
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI am glad Jezebel was feeling peppy, but feel bad she couldn't quite make the landing.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I don't want her injured like with that limp last spring. Be well, my dear.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember where I saw this... It was a cartoon or something where the cat was explaining how when the cat didn't get what it wanted, it acted like it meant to do that. Oh, this is going to drive me crazy... When it comes to me, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteI hate that, when I can't quite remember something. Sounds like a classic, though. :) Be well!
DeleteOh poor baby. I have geriatrics here who also don't understand how old they are. I like that in a cat. I want to be like that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind word. And I have to agree with you. ~hugs~ Take care, my dear.
