"Mittens"
As I sit here, yet again on a Friday night, contemplating my on-going membership in (apparently), the "Club of the Unfuckable", "Mittens" (da coonass cat), hopped up to commiserate. (Not really. She just likes the warmth from the laptop.)
"Mittens" is, by far, one of the strangest felines I have ever owned. She loves to roll in the dirt, doesn't mind being wet, and is notoriously spastic and uncoordinated. But, to her credit, she lives to roam the vast tree-filled, critter-crawling woodland behind my house. She brings me "gifts", to thank me for her kibble, and asks NOT for an indoor potty. (No litter boxes in the Coonass Crib, tyvm.)
We adopted "Mittens" shortly after I got my youngest child his very own pet, "Oscar". Yes, he is a weiner dog.
At the time, my Chihauhau, "Radar" was 45 (human years), and was greatly annoyed by the pup. "Take yoooor weeeggling, steenking self elsewhere, hombre'!"
The Golden ("Max") was up there in age as well, but a tad more tolerant. "Hey, doooooooood. That lil Wetback will come around eventually, even though he thinks he's better'n us. Hell! We all lick our dicks the same way when ya think about it, eh?" ( I dunno why I gave "Max" a Canadian accent!)
"Mittens" was a great companion for "Oscar", and took the stress away from the older canines.
"Oscar"(like all of my dogs), was crate-trained, and "his" cat was not spared confinement when I left the house, or at bedtime.
"Oscar! Get your cat and CRATE UP!"
That pup would grab that cat 'round the nape of the neck and draaaag her into his kennel. Funny to watch, but funnier still? She LET HIM.
Together, they would curl up in blissful comfort, to sleep away the night.
"Mittens" and "Oscar" drifted apart with age. Much like children, methinks...when it becomes apparent that, "Ewwwww! You're DIFFERENT!", but they still co-exist quite well.
Now, she tolerates the dogs. "Dogs. *sniff* Vhaaat stoopid creatures. Meh."
"Mittens" is a cool cat. She minds her manners, shits outside, keeps my yard small mammal-free, and makes a helluva footwarmer when you're, ya know....in THAT club.
I don't understand cat- haters.
Here's "Mitty's" pic.
What's not to love?!
