Oh, Rats!!

My Shady, who used to protect us from all dog invaders when we lived in Arizona, decided that if she was living in the same house as a dog, then the dog must be a friend. The dog was my dad's dog, Mo. Mo wasn't a cat chaser, but he knew darned well a cat wasn't a dog. So, when Shady walked up to him and rubbed up against his chest (he wasn't much bigger), he'd put his head up and out of the way as though he was thinking "Eeewwwww - cat cooties"!!! It was funny as hell - and Dad would look at his dog, shake his head and say, "I have GOT to teach you what a cat is!" But, in Arizona, if any dog dared to step foot on the property where our little cluster of apartments were, she'd go flying after the dog, and soon all the cats were behind her chasing whatever poor dog made the same mistake. It was so funny to watch - first a dog flying by, followed closely by this small Russian Blue, then by my other cat Johnny (a tuxedo cat), and finally by Johnny Five, my neighbor's black and white cat. Those dogs soon learned to avoid our little corner of the world!!! LOL

Hey, Jan. I'm afraid Shady would kill it. She's my desert cat who lived off the land before I got her. She used to drool over Deb's little mouse. But, way back, we used to have a white rat we named Dan Ratter. He was the poopinest thing I've ever seen - he got in Paul's drawers and chewed up all his boxer shorts. I liked him, but I was glad to give him back to the person who'd given him to me. But, I do think they're cute. So are ferrets - especially ferrets. But, I'll stick with my kitters, thanks.

I fell so far behind after Mom passed, I'm only now getting to some things I wrote a while ago. Mr. Pansey and Cindy Lou Ninja Cat??? LOL Do you have pictures??? I'd love to see what a Ninja Cat looks like as well as a Pansey cat!!
