Hi, my name's Adam, and I'm a blithering moron. Pleasure to meet you.

[slipjig3]

So. Remember that Calvin and Hobbes strip where Hobbes is lying on his back, and Calvin blows a raspberry on his fur-belly, and Hobbes beats the living unholy crap out of him? Yeah. Well. Sunny was just lying on her back, stre-e-e-etching first one way, then the other, her fur-belly exposed to danger.

Yes, I did. And yes, I got the living unholy crap beaten out of me. I deserved it.

*sigh* Two good scratches on the side my face across the temple, complete with blood loss, a scant inch away from turning me into a pirate. The foreclaws across my throat didn't do nearly as much damage, which is good because otherwise my jugular vein would've been involved.

The damage was wide enough to make a Band-Aid solution unreasonable, so rafaela very gently washed off the cuts, then very gently applies Neosporin to promote healing, and finished by not very gently dope-slapping the pudding out of me, yelling, "You idiot! What were you thinking?!" Not much of anything, apparently. (The bad part about this is that I get zero sympathy in the bargain. She just went up to the cat, pet her apologetically, and said, "Sunny, I'm sorry Daddy's such a dumbass.")

I think I need a stiff drink.

It was possible, however unlikely, that your cat would just lie there and take it. How do I know? Cause you can do that to Oreo and all he does is cock his head to the side as if to ask, "What the hell are you doing?". I know this because I have also done it. Yes, I am a dope. Fortunately my cat is dopier.

My kitties LOVE getting raspberries on their bellies. And loads of belly rubs.

I've never tried this with my cats. Nor do I think I ever will, now.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

I think it has to to with how they're raised; the furry imps in my icon have known since kittenhood that an exposed belly is bound to be kissed.

You sir have my sympathy. Of course you're a moron, but you still get my sympathy.

Awww, and just in time for Talk Like A Pirate Day!

*doesn't even bother to hide snicker* The first thing that came to mind was "Dumbass." Which really made me laugh when I came to the bottom and saw what rafaela said. I can do raspberries carefully on my kitties backs but only if they know I'm coming and are in the mood for it. And that's only because I can read their minds. Now you know better. Silly man.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, that was entirely possible. That said, it probably wasn't very wise to test that hypothesis by actually getting my face that close to the pointy things.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Hee! Your kitties are silly.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

As long as I can serve as a cautionary example, I can feel as if I've accomplished something (other than being an utter doof, that is).

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

True. Didn't catch Sunny while she was young enough.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Knew I could count on you, sir.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Ooo, forgot about that! Must remember to celebrate this year.

*hangs head in abject shame* I'll just file this one with popping the chicken Kiev in the oven without removing the plastic first when I was eleven, and shearing off the car's radio antenna by clearing off the snow on the hood with a shovel.

I got Anya at 10 weeks and Hecate at 14 weeks.

I just belly-kissed Anya and had Hecate come running up wanting her share of loving.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Then it's still fun and games, just without depth perception.

Awww...we've all done things like this. And some pets are more temperamental than others - Coco goes ballistic if I try to tickle my husband, or playfully smack him, or even sneak up on him.

*tries to hold in laughter...can't...hold..it...in* BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ahem...sorry
