The other night during dinner a dropped chickpea fell off the table and rolled across the floor and the kitten bounced on it because ALL MOVING THINGS MUST DIE, and then he proceeded to eat it and lick his little whiskered chops.
So Z and I blinked at each other and promptly began to experiment on the baby, discovering in the process that it lapped up raisins, couscous, olives, courgettes and more chickpeas.
Cat people, what is going on? Is this normal? Is it a phase? Is it teenage rebellion? Should I be investing in brocolli?
Also, the little deviant spends an awful lot of time in the bathroom actually playing with water! Has he no shame?

The other day my relationship nearly came to tears when Z stuck his great big hairy foot in his great big mouth and tried to explain to me why I look much more appealing with no glasses, after I asked rhetorically why it is that my face looks kind of round and funny in pictures.
Z: It's because of your glasses.
N: Eh?
Z: Well, your glasses really change the shape of your face. Whenever you have them on you look really different. With no glasses you're like - sexy cat! With glasses it's schoolteacher.
N with a touch of frost But you can't even SEE my glasses on most photographs.
Z: I know, but they still change the shape of your face.
Because with glasses your face scrunches up sometimes and you look kind of like a mole. Or a hamster.
N: Stares at him with speechlessness.
Z: But you know it’s not that bad! I mean there are lots of positive things! Like because you’re wearing glasses it’s good for me since people aren’t going to be lusting after you.
N: Attains new levels of shock.
Z: Um, why are you looking at me funny?
N: Because at this moment in time I am debating between breaking up with you and eye surgery.

Now ask him if your trousers make you look fat. Or has he mastered the proper response to that one?
I think his overwhelming desire to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth may be inhibited by seeing me cry copious tears of woundedness.
Yes. This is perfectly normal cat behavior!
Excellent :D
*goes away pondering what other kidns of food we could get the cat to try or whether there would be a market for Catfood - The Vegan Alternative*
Those naive little Sagitarius boys
Yes. Bless. The great big ruddy sheepish oafs.
and i've just remembered him saying he fancied his schoolteacher, the hypocrite!
Oh, I love that bit. That's fabulous.
Hello, by the way. I love your updates :)
Innit just. :) Bless.
I love your updates :)
Thank you :)
I wouldn't get upset though because although it may be true, and with Sagi, I'm sorry to say that it probably is (love you though :-) ), it's said in a nice way, there's no nastiness. And that's what makes all the difference. It's far better that they see you as you are, and love you anyway rather than walk around with Libran "she's so flawless" goggles that become very annoying after a while. Because no-one is flawless and they would be loving a lie. As opposed to loving you.
I'd forgive him. He should stop trying to backtrack though, cos he sucks at it! That's where he falls down. He should stand by his statements and not try to explain them. ;-)
And I know you will admire the enermous self-restraint I had to exercise over my inner Scorpio not to lash out at him with something poignant and biting.
This is why, before any of us have ever even begun to date, men should be taken on obstacle course training.
All very normal, especially the playing with water.
I seem to recall that cats are selective eaters, so you might want to be careful what food you give her because if she develops a liking for it she might suddenly turn her nose up at everything else and refuse to eat nothing but that!
At least that's from what I recall. Having to feed my uncle's cat lovely meat from the butcher's because she became used to it. Unlike dogs whom you can throw anything at.

You might not update often, but the times you do are gems. I think he meant well, he just got his words tangled up.

And you look WONDERFUL in glasses, don't listen to Z!
I wouldn't worry too much about the kitten. A lot of cats like sweet food such as vegetables, chocolate or mashed potatoes. Invest in broccoli. It'll provide hours of entertainment, watching your kitten chow down with no shame and much joy. Just watch your fingers if you handfeed him these treats.
And I think you're sexy with glasses. ^__^

Thank you :) I think you're sexy in general ;) What have you been up to? How is Uni? I am so behind on LJ I should be excommunicated.
Damn this full time work!
I tried to say something to a specs-wearing ex along the lines of how much I liked him without his glasses, because that was the face that only I saw. But he totally didn't get it.
The Boy wears glasses too. Sometimes he looks all cutting edge and retro. Sometimes he just looks like a dirty old tramp who hasn't changed his specs since the Seventies. What're you gonna do?
*preens*
Oi!!! I resemble that!. Speaking of us oafs, did you get round to finishing my chart?
LOL
saggis may be oafs but they are the best natured most loveable oafs around because they really don't take themselves seriously and for such they should be rewarded with gold stars at birth.
Speaking of us oafs, did you get round to finishing my chart?
I have. BUt the state of my hands continues to be so bad that I am really not up to typing a whole lot. However, if you like I can give you my phone number and you can ring me at some mutually convenient time and then I'll go through it with you. How's that?
