Bang on their door and ask what the deal is or call animal control.  That's just not fair and essentially how we ended up with Monty. 

 

That said, Frankie cat is fixin' to become a bathmat if he doens't stop spider catting along the mattress from the underside of the bed at 4:50am.  I was dead asleep and apparently my fingers were between the headboard and mattress.  All of a sudden I had a paw pawing at me.  Pulled my hand back and got a "meow!".  Then he spider catted with those claws along the mattress and I nearly throttled him.  He used to do this years ago and has picked it back up the last 3 nights.  Need to remember a water bottle so I can shoot him so he quits.  I used to just toss his behind out but he and Monty cat still haven't come to terms with the fact that they are roommates, despite it having been like 3 months already.  

 

Got your Wellies and your 'brella ready?  Soggy couple of days coming up.

Went to bank on behalf of Uncle T-B., $i man.

They did not immediately recognize us as the POTS magnate, no man.

This really rubs me the wrong way.  My ex had his cat go missing and they didn't notice for 3 days!  Kid1 heard meowing at their bedroom window and let the poor cat in.  They went back to their security cameras to see when she got out.  "Oh...we didn't notice because she has an automatic feeder and an automatic litterbox and she often just hangs out in the basement."  Come ON...you didn't notice she didn't come for pets for 3 DAYS?!?!  We do a pet inventory before bed because very occasionally, a cat will slip out into the garage when we're putting recyclables out or something.  They do like to check things out out there and we usually leave the house door cracked when we know they are out there.

They have been trimmed.  He's just a jerk cat and confused about his identity since he has the Batman symbol on the back of his neck over his shoulder blades.  He's a black classic marble tabby with golden tan markings, so even the colouring fits his batty logo. 

 

The dog needs a pawdicure.  She hates it but I hate clicking claws on the tile floors.

Oh what a day,  man.

 

Maid was supposed to show up an hour before noon, yeah right man.

We killed ourself decluttering the place to enable space to work, suicide we man.

            2.  A PayPal payment came in and the download instructions were faulty, call PayPal we man

Many.  A seller of a new miu-box wanted payment, wonderful but for the timing man

Many.  The pharmacy with Uncle T-B.'s eyedrops called for delivery directions, needed right then man

Many.  We had to call Uncle T-B. to see if he was awake to receive them, no answer man

Many.  We re-called pharmacy to tell them to leave stuff at door or knock long/loud, instruct we man

Many.  We fielded call from sleepy Uncle T-B., explain everything all over again we to senior he man man

 

We had a headache after all this, ouch man.

 

Maid finally finished, good job but dropped hint about getting a tip, NO WAY man.

We've never abided "Spanish-people time" in comparison with en punto time,  man.

 

Right after maids left, Mini-B. called, call we man wee man man.

"I'm coming over, si man -- I had a fight with Mom, see man, si man," said wee man man.

"When, huh man?" asked we man of wee man man.
