My cat is a @*#($ing asshole

[kedrys]

The s.o and I stepped out for 5 MINUTES to replace the light bulb outside the kitchen door. We were followed by a gaggle of cats, one of whom (Imhotep, pushing 11, no teeth, FIV+) decides to jump the fence sight unseen as soon as he saw my back was turned.

How am I supposed to find a black cat in this @*#%????

Fortunately for him, he came back, well after dark, half an hour, a heart attack and two strokes later.

He's grounded for the next 278 years. :grr:

1. I did that to my dad once.

I was an hour late. In dad's newish car, out driving alone in an unexpected blizzard. -- I was late because I was driving incredibly slow and extra superduper careful of Dad's newish car. He came all unglued when I got home.

can I help it he loves me???? :)

3. Good story - thanks for the link!

I bet Milo hasn't been anywhere near the door since then...or has he...?

4. Milo can be a bit thick -- he still hangs around the door,

looking for a chance to bolt. Fortunately, it's been kind of cold and snowy lately, and that puts him off. Doesn't like to get his delicate little pawsies cold.
