spokeThe last few days, we have had general rain interrupted by occasional bouts of 'Hello down there! Are you frying yet?'
This has been causing things to come in the house. Assorted things, mostly of the insect variety. I think any rodent-types have the sense to stay out of a house with a cat in it. ^_^
Unfortunately. My cat thinks spiders are the coolest damn thing ever. She makes this plaintive mewing. It used to be when she'd gotten herself stuck in a room, and needed me to come let her dumb butt out. The first time I came into the bathroom, thinking 'Dumb cat. C'mon, you never get stuck in there!'
And found the door open. And her perched on the toilet seat, looking up.
You would think some sort of 'bad-feeling' instinct would kick in here. Since I know cats are fascinated by small/fast/strangely moving anythings. But nooo. I look up.
*&%$#@ OMG %$#@ WOLF SPIDER!!!
And the drama ensues, with me having a heart attack and probably the spider having a heart attack, before it DIES, but you know if I cared about the spider I wouldn't freak out like that now would I? >.<
And then the spider dies and all is well. Gooood kitty!
...er, no. Because it might have been the next day, or the day after that. She finds another. o.o This is a bit freaky, I don't remember them coming in groups like this (1 spider = omg 2 spiders = omg they're invading!!! :( 3 spiders = small army, there goes the neighborhood, god save us all!!) but okay, so I kill this one. And kinda notice that she's looking around like, 'hey where'd it go?'.
Then. She finds another. Spread out on the living room roof where I cannot reach it with the wonderousness that is bug spray, so I have to go and get a broom. And I knocked it on the floor, and she starts jumping and batting at it. And it suddenly clicks in my brain, she wasn't trying to get me because it was dangerous, &%$#@ cat wanted to come and get this cool toy she can't reach!!
AAAAUUGGGHHH!!! >:O
x.x So I killed that one. And while I feel marginally better because, you know, I have this verifiable body count now? Still.
Enough with the freaking spiders already! ;_; If this keeps, I'll start having trouble sleeping!
...I'm sure I meant to say something else in this post. >> Perhaps later I will remember what that was.
