I have incluced two new clever tricks in my torment of Nanny Slave the past week. You all know how I patented the "one paw" maneuver some time ago. Quite the triumph, plus I'm getting some tidy tuna royalties on it since its official inclusion in the SOHC handbook. And whenever I get locked out of a room, I like to use the one paw to get back into it. (Two paws just seem so desperate and are better served for attempting to claw your way through glass to frighten off a stray on the porch.)Anymeow, a while back Nanny Slave integrated a squirt bottle into her defenses, a story so horrifying I had to tell it on Halloween. Since then I've been forced to come up with a work-around.
The bed in Loud Thing's room, aka Nanny Slave's room, is up on blocks (like a redneck car) so the humans can store more crap underneath. It has been the site of many a rampaging cat battle since there's so much clearance, and Loud Thing's fond of disappearing into the cave, too. To avoid the squirt bottle, I've started hiding in the cave to do my one paw scratching. Scratch. Scratch. Scratch. Right under Nanny Slave's head, loud and clear, but safely away from the spray. You gotta love seeing a human rolling out of bed, half awake, and holding up the squirt bottle like a gun, trying to find the kitty-induced disturbance and put an oh so temporary end to it.
When I'm under the bed, she's out of luck.
Heh. Heh. Heh.
I'll tell you about my other triumph in a day or so after I savor it a bit longer.
Sincerely,
MK
