Something Funny from Katy

I got this letter from my daughter Katy about her cat. I thought it was funny and wanted to share it with you. I think, at times, we all feel like this with those we care for!

Mom,

Here are the new steps in making a bed after I've washed sheets:

Pull sheets out of dryer. Then pull cat out of dryer.

Move down the hallway as quickly as possible with sheets--because cat sees sheets and ankles as moving targets. Sometimes the "back into the room" method works so you know when the biting is coming instead of going in "blind."

Once in bedroom drop sheets on the floor and clear off bed. Cat is now on bed and must be "cleared."

Cat has taken up residency on the fitted sheet on the floor. Pull fitted sheet up and slide cat along floor with fitted sheet because cat will not move.

Once cat is "extracated" from fitted sheet, place on bed. Cat has now taken up residency in the middle of the bed and must be encouraged to relocate.

Cat has now relocated to flat sheet that is still lying on the floor. Again, slide cat along the floor while on the flat sheet because cat is happy and will not move.

Once "freed" of the cat, the fitted sheet can now be placed on the bed. Cat is now on the bed and is trying to attack the flat sheet because it recalls moments ago the flat sheet being pulled from the dryer and is still pissed that it didn't get to attack it earlier.

Cat has now found ideal nap space on corner of the bed that is half made because attempting to tuck in the flat sheet is futile and who wants to get blood stains from being attacked on clean sheets?

Grab pillows and cases. Cat has decided the corner of the bed is no longer amusing and as pillow is tucked under the chin to place case on the end, cat decides to throw itself at the pillow. Cat thinks that wiggling the case like that is paramount to play time.

Toss everything back onto bed and realize that cat decides when bed will be made....and now isn't the time.

I love you....

Kate
