S**t Happens

The sun has been shining and the rain has ceased and the backyard is finally dry. The birds are chirping, cats are jumping over the fence to walk across the grass, the boys are allowed outside again.

With the new privileges there is always a rule breaker. Ralphie happens to be that little punk who has to go and do something bad. I was sitting in the living room the other day doing some research for a class when out of no where there was an incredibly strong scent of... poop. Not just regular run of the mill poop, but cat poop. I looked straight at Ralphie, as I noticed it came about when he walked by and plain as day there he was covered in it. Not so much all over his body, but all over his head and face.

I gasped and grabbed my camera to take these pictures. There was a need of proof to show Just when she got home how bad Ralphie is when she's gone. Brutus on the other hand came tromping in with onlya minimal amount of cat poop on him.



Even when he's covered in shit, he's so cute.


:D

Crazy kitties

Last night Justine and I took a car ride out to Manteca to visit my parents. While we were there just sitting around, my mom urgently called me to the garage. I ran over and she was kneeling in the garage peering under my dad's golf cart. The family cat, Freddie, was meowing and howling and growling all at once.

My mom lowered herself even more and said, "Erika there's another animal under the cart, you're aunt thinks its another cat but I don't want it in here."

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

I had no idea what was going on and all I could tell, Freddie was pissed. Justine came in the garage and brought the family dog, a 7 year old Golden Retriever, Rex. Rex sniffed the cart and whimpered and ran inside. Freddie was yelling louder and hissing so we called for my dad. He came in to get a flash light and while he was sitting in the cart rocking back and forth the other cat shot out from under the cart and lunged at Justine. She dodged out of the way and Freddie chased the cat into the neighbors yard.

The strange and yet funny part of this story is that Freddie is a smooth coat, black cat and the other cat that was hiding in the garage was a smooth coat black cat. It literally looked like Freddie's evil twin. Freddie came back to the garage shortly after the other cat's departure and we swiftly closed the garage door and settled back into our non-eventful evening.

There's never a dull moment at my parent's house.

Oh, BTW, my birthday is in exactly 1 week.
:D
