My Valentine nightmare!

Ahhh, Valentines Day, the day of hearts shaped balloons, plenty of chocolate, and happiness all around...except in my house.

Today has been one hectic Valentines Day! It started out with Michelle and I babysitting this morning. After that, we did school, I had tennis for two hours, and we ended the day babysitting for a different family. And just when I thought it was all over...I had the fright of my life!

After I got home from babysitting, I went up to my moms room where she and Michelle were. Lucy was also out and running around on my mom's desk. After a while, Michelle took her back to her cage, and we talked for a while longer. At last, I decided to go get ready for bed. As I walked out into the hallway, I glanced down and noticed the cats together. My attention was caught further, when I realized that LUCY was out of her cage, in the hallway, and the center of attention for two psychotic cats!!!! I let out a yelp, and scooped Lucy up. After a quick examination, I found her unharmed, and upset that her adventure had come to an end. After I had shot many evil and accusing looks in Michelle’s direction, we examined the cage to figure out how she had escaped. As it turns out, Michelle had latched it wrong, so Lucy was able to push the door open and explore at her leisure. There’s no telling what might have happened if we had not caught her when we did! Thank you God that I decided to go to bed!

Having one pet eat another is never a good thing -- glad you were able to intervene!

Sounds like our valentines day- pretty much another hecktic day....

But pets eating eachother, that's probably more exciting than the rest of the day. But don't blame the cat's- or Michelle. A few days ago I found a rat's head and some obsure internal organ that cleo (my cat) left on the front porch. It's instinct.

since lucy is alright, there is no one to blame thankgoodness. And thankgoodness again that curiosity took over the cats before instinct kicked in.

I prefer to call it Singles Awareness Day. ;)
That's the thing with cats, they're so onery, that's why i hate them so much.

Drama Queen said...

*GASP* We have a cat hater in our midst!

Hol said...

lol! Peanut is an escape artist too :P. I'd definitely be worse with cats around though

My valentines was a nightmare too...but that should probably be a post in itself :P

Thrawn said...

Pretty funny... Uh, In a bad and frustrating way, of course. It made a lot more sense when I figured out that Lucy was not a person. ;D
Yeah, I agree with Ryan. Cats are overrated, anyways.

If that is your opinion on cats, then you have never met ours! One is evil to be sure, but the other is only midly evil, and in a good way. C'mon, how can you not love a cat whose tail is permently kinked in a 'S' pattern?

micheller said...

yah, you gotta love that tail....

Cats are evil? how dare you sir call yourself an american and hate cats.

10 reasons why to love cats

1. (As Catie and Michelle stated) They have a tail! A big one! And when they walk it sways in the air!

2. Cats are smart. Extremely! They are very smart! They Think for themselves, they are not stupid and gulible like that cannine barbarian. (There's a word I haven't used in a while)

3. Cats are, well, nicer to look at. When you look at a dog (at least my dog) while I of course see all that loyalty stuff (Well...Maybe not with mine) I also see dependence and need. When I look at a cat I see royalty and...other great things.

4. Cats have a better taste in food. Dogs eat the same old dry food and think nothing of it. Cats have a taste and love tuna and fish and chicken!

5. Cats don't die as quickly as dogs. This sounds stupid, but my point is that cats don't get into trouble. Look both ways before they cross the street ect. It's like comparing generals Wellington and Custer. And may I note Wellington had a cat and Custer had a dog, just like them...

6. Cats are independent. Cats take care of themselves, they are the corapation leaders of animals, the ones who lead. Dogs, while nice, are simply co workers. Sheep, if you will.

7. Cats are easier to take care of. You don't need to spend countless hours playing stick, they can amuse themselves.
Cats are less expensive, they don't cost as much to begin with, but after that it gets better. No dog house, chew toys and no big ten pound bag of dog food.

8. Cats are more nice. While fiesty, cats are nice. They don't growl and be used as watchcats. Just look, dogs were used to kill, cats to be royalty.

9. Cats are considered god, While I don't believe this, many nations did. Worshiping the cats, never did you worship a dog. No, dogs were used as food, cats as gods.

10. All great leaders had cats. Lets examine further: Leaders who had cats: Julius Caesar, nearly every other roman emperor, Cleopatra, Alexander the great, every pharoah, Napoleon Bonaparte, Wellington, General Robert E Lee, George washington, John Adams, President George bush and more. Who had dogs: Barbarian chief Vecretrontigex, George Custer and 100's of other barbarians!

There, you have it!

Oh! And the paws! You gotta love the paws!

Big Red said...

uh, excuse me, but Dogs hav paws too. Cats r vicious, and mean. They scratch you for no reason, and have the stupidest sounding call, a meow. That's gotta b the lamest sound in the whole universe. Dogs bark, which can b annoying at times but at least it can warn u of danger. What will a cat do 2 an intruder? Meow him to death? Cat's tails r stupid. Dogs point their's straight out when they spot something, and they can hunt much better than cats can, and bring in better game. Cats are also WAY less fun than dogs. Dogs aren't dependant on us, they've been around on thier own as well. They just like to hang with us, and they play games becuz they are fun, not stupid. Plus, that list of people with cats vs. dogs is way bias. Think of all the great guys who had dogs. Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, General Cornwallis (until the sucker lost them to Mel Gibson in The Patriot), and many more. And one mor thing, a lot of those people mentioned above that had cats died traitorous, embarrasing deaths. phew. If u read this whole thing, thank u for listening. ;)

*Calmly ignores negative feedback from both parties*
I stand resolved that both cats and dogs rock, and that is the standerd of my blog. any negativity in said subject shall result in loss of commenting privlages.

In the words of the guy who wrote the charlie Brown comic, "Happiness is a warm puppy."

I agree, but i also agree that it is hard to beat a warm fuzzy kitty that hops up on ur laps, purrs in ur face and makes cookies on my lap.

Loved the comments -- especially Jonahs 10 reasons. That one just might merit a post on my blog. :)
