I thought I’d follow up my previous pukesome ‘oooh look at my cute house’ post with something a little different. Namely, ‘oooh look at my cute kittens’. They’re 9 weeks old now and very cute indeed:
 |
Truth
be told, they are utter bastards who do nothing but fight and poo and
ignore us. Even though we’ve been in their lives since day one and
lovingly assisted their teenage mum in rearing them, they show us no
affection whatsoever. Open hostility, most of the time. Once, Iggy
purred when Rob stroked him. Once! In 9 weeks. Mainly, they just want us
to go away.
But at least they’re cute.

| Pepper, a.k.a. Pepper Pots, Peppster. |
Pepper
is a princess whose hobbies include sitting on a cushion and being
aloof. She is utterly indifferent to humans.
Iggy is a certified
mentalist whose hobbies include growling, climbing legs and biting. He
recently chased his own mother into a box. He will, however, tolerate
being picked up and cuddled. For ten seconds. And only if he can bite
your finger.

| Iggy, a.k.a. Iggy Pop, Iggster, Mr Igg Stuff, Chief Iggum, Iggle Piggle. |
I think this is what goes through Iggy’s mind on some sort of maddening loop:
“Oooh
a toe, bite it! Oh no, it belongs to one of THEM. Now they want to
cuddle me. Quick, run away. Into the cupboard where I can climb all over
the plates. Hee hee, I’m so clever. They’ll never catch me in….doh,
damn humans. Run up a curtain. Mummy, fight me! I win! Tired. Bored.
Into the pantry, where I can sit in the veg rack in peace. Mmmmmm,
potatoes, I love sitting in with the potatoes. So comfy! I could sit
here all….Bored. Run up a curtain. Pepper, fight me! I win! Run into the
bathroom. Take that, toilet roll! Oh, excellent, a freshly cleaned
litter tray - I’ve been saving up a nice big poo for that. Oi, human.
Meeow. Feed me. Don’t come THAT close, what’s wrong with you? Put the
bowl down over there. There, I said! Don’t TOUCH me for Christ’s sake!
Grrrrr. Eat. ZZZZZZZZZZ”
Exhausting, isn’t it? Trust me, cats should never outnumber humans in a household.
After
making a brief but daring break for sexual freedom, Moona has now
been spayed (she ran off with a ginger boy cat for a day, the dirty
little minx). So at least we won’t be welcoming any more unfriendly
additions to the family!
Thank goodness they’re cute.
