Feline Addicts


Do your cats smoke crack?

I'm convinced that mine do. In fact, I'm also convinced that Bonnie has a crack production operation under our house complete with rat mules for distribution and a network of tunnels through our metropolis.

Now, I really know nothing about crack production, distribution, or use.

Feline crack smoking appears to manifest with sudden wide eyes, snapping tail, and jumping about at apparently invisible things. I have confirmed with friends who live with felines and the behavior seems to be consistent cat to cat. Mine have suddenly 'turned on' and jumped about on the furniture...springing from spot to spot diving under pillows or reaching down between the cushions. WITH NO APPARENT OUTSIDE STIMULUS! Thus my theory that they smoke crack.

I haven't found any of their paraphernalia, but I am pretty darn sure Bonnie, being the personality that she is, has a manufacturing plant beneath our house. Bonnie P. is always thinking. She is one of those individuals in which you can see the wheels turning...only if she wants you to see them of course...otherwise she has that feline squint going on that says, "Eff you Momma."

I did my best in raising her, I really did. I tell her frequently that there may be a 12 Step Program out there for her and that she is not alone. Her only response to me is to pop her tail and throw an "Eff you Momma" look over her shoulder. Sigh....you do your very best for these children and this is what you get...

Clyde, I believe, goes along for the ride. He occasionally smokes crack, but mostly he seems to drift through things always looking for trouble. I think he's Bonnie's enforcer. He is soft at his core however and always comes home for Momma's kisses.

Raising children is certainly a mixed bag.

I'll be off now to work some more on my Pi shawl and to watch an adorable movie called, "Schultze Gets the Blues." Ta Ta

  1. I love reading your blogs Michelle. You really have a knack for writing. So creative with your descriptions. Are Bonnie and Clyde siblings? Karen

  2. Yes they are. We estimate that their birthday is April 15th, 2006. I intend to tell their story some day on my blog. Thank you for your comment.
