The Joy of Cats
Hooray, it's Caturday! What does Marlena like to do on the weekends? Sleep in.
Thankfully, I have two loving cats that know what I need better than I do, so they decided to wake me up at 8:30 with a loud crash from the kitchen. No big deal, we've always got comic books, toys or some sort of art on the table that beckons at our cats (mostly Chewie) to knock them off at night. But not THIS morning. Oh no. They had something even BETTER to jack around with than mere comics or toys.
Here's a precursor. Ben and I went grocery shopping last night instead of Sunday when I usually go. I had a craving for cupcakes while we were there and decided to buy a small package of them.
Can you tell where this is going?
There were 6 cupcakes in the package. We went shopping early since we got off work early, so we each had one before we went out to dinner with Ben's family because it was going to be a couple hours before dinner.
Then later that night as we were watching Cujo, we each had another cupcake. This left 2 cupcakes for us to eat today. At least that was my plan.
Well, the package these cupcakes came in were one of those hard plastic clamshell type containers and apparently when Ben served up our Cujo cakes last night, he didn't snap the package closed all the way. So the fun crash I heard this morning was the sound of a waterfall of cupcakes hitting our kitchen floor.
Did I mention that the cupcakes were in the kitchen on top of our counter, that the cats are NOT allowed on? Yes, they were!!!
So Ben gets up to investigate and brings me a cupcake that has been licked CLEAN of frosting. I was going to get a picture of it, but he threw it away before I got the chance. This means that our cats (but probably only Chewie, Fizzgig detests anything that isn't cat food) feasted on frosting ALL NIGHT LONG. So not only did he hop himself up on sugar, but we will probably be paying for the fact that cats shouldn't consume sugar by strategically placing piles of cat yak a la land-mine-style for us to find all over the house.
Here's the lesson today, kids: If you have cupcakes and cats do not leave the cupcakes out in the open, because apparently, cats not only have strange cravings for V8, but they also love them some sugar frosting...

Hahaha... LOLCats. I'm up in your Clamshell .... licking your cupcakes!
Also note - since my cat is a fierce predator giant cat ... we cannot leave out raw meat because he will mount the counter and stalk away with the bloody mass. It's gross.
My code word verification for this comment is "efafk" which sounds like the sound a cat makes when it's yakking.

HAHAHA! MAN, that fiasco would have made the PERFECT LOLcat!
Wow, that is pretty fierce! Does your cat like V8? Chewie will fish a washed out can out of the bottom of the trash can if he can smell it. It's SO bizarre, I wonder if other cats have this same affliction.
That is the EXACT sound of a cat yakking.
