Thirty Days Of Dougie III – Day 7: Adventures Of The Home
November 27, 2013

First I went and checked around the house to see where she was at. Asleep in the spare bedroom. That’s a good sign. So then I go to my bedroom and start stripping off the old sheets and pillowcases. I have to make this quick before she realizes what I’m doing. I go get the new sheets from the bathroom closet and go back into my room, peeking into the spare room to make sure that she’s still there. She is. I’ve got this licked.

I go into my room and start spreading out the fitted sheet to put it on my bed. I get three corners in place and think I hear a noise. I don’t see anything though so I continue with what I’m doing. The fourth corner is in place. Now it’s just a sheet and the comforter and I’m through. I open up the sheet and prepare to put in on the bed. I whip it across the bed.

And there she is, quickly up on the bed and under the sheet as it settles down across the bed.

The cat has come to “help me make the bed”.

I whip the sheets up into the air a few more times in order to even it out and make it all fit right and she’s up under the covers, running around. All I can see is a lump moving under the sheet as it settles into place. I flip the covers back and she’s just laying there, content and ready to play. Her eyes are twinkling and blazing and she’s just having a grand old time.

And that’s how it goes. I flip the sheet up a few more times into the air and she’s scurrying back and forth under it, just having fun. Finally, I pick her up and set her on the floor. Her ears go back and she’s not happy any more. How dare I interfere with her game of hide and seek and peek-a-boo.

I finally get the sheet straight and go pick up the comforter. I start to put it on the bed and there she is again, to “help”. The cat hasn’t been in my room in a week, but now that I’m trying to change my sheets, she’s all over the place and one hundred percent in the way… cause that’s her job and how she rolls.

And what should have taken five minutes tops ends up taking twice as long. But we ended up getting it done and she, my little fur-baby, Goldie, had some fun in the process.

The joys of having a cat.

And how has your day been?

Have a Happy Thankgiving.
