Cat Blogging: The Burning Cat

[elfs]

Omaha and I moved to a different apartment, a few blocks away. It was a nicer place, far quieter, and with better neighbors. Dinah adjusted quickly enough to it.

One evening, when Omaha and I were making love, Dinah leapt up onto the bed to see what the featherless apes were doing. She wandered across the vigorous Elf and onto the bedstand, swishing her tail lazily through the candle.

"The cat!" I gasped, hearing a sizzle and seeing this out of the corner of my eye. "The cat! On fire! The Cat! Is! On! Fire!" I immediately disengaged from the task at hand, grabbed the throw blanket and the protesting Dinah and balled her up in it to smother the flames.

I unwrapped her and saw that the flames had been put out. Dinah was miffed, looking up at me with the most wounded dignity a cat can manage. She sniffed at her tail momentarily, puzzled, then went on her way as if nothing untoward had happened.

Omaha and I did not manage to find the mood again that night.

Seems unnecessary to point out what song is running through my head, but it never stopped me before... :-)

BWAHAHAHAHAH.....

Never set the cat on fire
you surely will annoy it
your love will never find the mood
once kitty has destroyed it...

(awww..... )

My neighbors used to have a cat named Birch who, in most ways, was a fairly clever cat. However, one year my parents and I were over at their home for a Chanukah dinner, and the chanukiah had been placed on top of a cabinet in the kitchen which also held Birch's food bowl (where he could reach it, but the dog could not). About halfway through dinner, Birch jumps up on the cabinet to have his own nosh. A little later, my mother looks across the room, jumps up, grabs the cat, and throws him into the sink under running water, because HIS TAIL WAS ON FIRE. Birch was a pretty long-haired cat, and his tail had become a fair conflagration without his noticing. Mind you, it was a bit shorter after that for a while.

This? Hysterical.

"The cat! On fire! The Cat! Is! On! Fire!"

I'm dying here, you realize? I'm at work, I'm trying to get things done, and I just cannot stop giggling. AAAAAh!

One repeat of the words were done with a William Shatner voice, and that just *really* killed me.

Poor Kitteh - She sure did spend all her lives in grand style, didn't she?
