Old Speck is at the vet today having his teeth cleaned and it’s quiet and weird around here without him. Since he can’t hear, he apparently never knows we’re about to step on him and he stops right in front of us so even without him around, I keep watching out for him and trying to make sure he isn’t going to get stepped on.
Rita loves to sneak around and bark at him when she thinks she’s surprising him but since he never hears her barking . . it doesn’t bother Speck at all. So, Rita’s been kinda on the lookout for Speck all morning.
I’ll go pick him up this afternoon and he’ll be groggy and grumpy . . pretty much like he is all the time! 🙂

He is so in love with his new bed. I am glad we got it for him. When he gets tired during the day, he’ll go sit by the bedroom door so I can open the door and let him in. I’ve seen Rita in the bed once but thankfully, Speck didn’t see her in it! He’s not much into sharing anyway and I don’t think he’d consider sharing his bed at all!

Isn’t it funny how we adapt to our pets. It’s been nearly a year since I’ve had a cat, but still usually have to consciously think “It’s OK to leave the door open for a minute.”

My stupid cat can see AND hear and he STILL walks, weaves and stops right in front of me as I’m walking ALL the TIME!! I get so aggravated at him sometimes as I think I’LL be the one seriously injured (as in broken bones) whenever I do step on or trip over him. DUMB cat! And I can see why ole Speck loves his bed!

Sherrill, that’s in the cat rulebook! Including holding the tail up in a sassy way, to show who’s in charge here!
