Who Stole My Cats?

For the past six years I have thought that I owned two cats.  This week I have realized that they are actually dogs.  Amos has turned into a lap dog, that whines and complains unless he is sitting on my lap, sprawled over whatever book or project I am working on.  Annie is a watchdog.  She stands at attention with her front paws on the windowsill watching for any intruders into our backyard.  If she sees anything, she runs from window to window growling.  Did I say she runs?  I meant she lumbers.   Thump thump thump thump thump thump.  No stealth at all.  Where did my cats go?  Will they return the animals I used to know that slept on the bed all day, or moved from sunbeam to sunbeam chasing the endless nap?

  1. Well look at it this way. Now you don't need to get a dog. Your cats have filled that role. Plus they ARE still cats, I can see that from the photo, so it's like you have two cats and two dogs. Your cup is indeed full.

  5. Cats are marvelous creatures:) Gotta love them! My cat hates me to the point that she doesn't display it anymore; she just ignore me and gives me a cold shoulder. A "couldn't care less" attitude. I don't know what I've done, but obviously it's something!

  6. Well they look like cats to me. Maybe they are dogs dressed up in the most life like cat halloween costumes.
