You know what's really sad?

When you have to spell certain words so the cat doesn't know you're talking about her. M-i-n, of course, but also c-a-t and k-i-t-t-y. If you say any of those words out loud, Min thinks you're talking to her. In the normal course of events this isn't such a big deal, but during the day on the weekends when she has to be locked into my wing of the house because the bird is flying around and I'm out in the front room talking with the roommate, Min thinks she should be included in the conversation. Either that, or I'm supposed to spend all my free weekend time in our suite of rooms with her. She'll stand at the door, jiggling it to try and make it open, and caterwauling. Eventually, if you ignore her she'll wander off and go to sleep, but if she hears "Min," "cat," or "kitty," she's right back at the door caterwauling.

W-h-i-p-p-e-d.

I've worked really hard to spoil her this bad. I am proud of my accomplishments.

I had to explain to someone new today that while "Zonker" is her technical name, her actual name is either "kitty" or "pssp-pssp-pssp." Zonker is what she gets called when she's in trouble.

Same goes for the boy kitty, I fear.

Poor Min thinks her name is Kitty Cat Poopums, I'm afraid. Or Minnie Minnie Moose Moose. It's humiliating.

"Just don't call me Late for Dinner," she says.

:D Just wait 'til she learns how to spell... Her picture clearly shows her studying! ;P

That can be a problem with humans. I knew a family once that spelled things out that they didn't want the four-year-old to understand. That worked fine until the day when the father asked "Where's the C-A-K-E?" and said child said, "In the C-U-P-B-O-A-R-D."

As the father said, "At least it got him spelling early and well". I suggested they choose a language they would like him to learn, and start talking to each other in that. He said he'd think about it.

For sure! I dread that day because you know the next phase of her attempt at world domination will be learning to type.

Great picture of her. :-)

She's very edjumacated.

Awwww, poor kitty! Tell Min it could be worse -- we have hawks flying around outside our balcony.

I don't feel so bad. Our wing has three rooms for her to wander, and she has the run of the entire house for 14 hours of every 24. But when you're a princess, you want it all, don't you?

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

Indeed I do.

I mean, um, yes. I've heard that's true.

[pjthompson]

But, darling, you're a queen (in the good way).

*rofl*

well, you brought it upon yourself. ;)

And I'm proud of all my hard work!
