It is a good thing the crazy white cat (CWC) keeps up her end of the bargain, because living with her is always an adventure. There was the morning I woke to find her playing with something on the floor. Eventually, between stumbles to the coffee maker, I realized the sound and heft were not like those of her official, sanctioned toys. I looked down and yes, it was a mouse head. Nothing left but the head. I don't think I need to describe what happened next. Suffice it to say Jack did not wake naturally.
Most of the CWC stories center around her talent for opening the sliding glass door whenever she has tired of mingling with the masses. She simply hooks a claw into the wood frame and says 'Open Sesameow.'
During calving season, Jack often gets up in the middle of the night to check the heifers. In between he naps in the recliner. One night last week he woke up to find CWC and her brothers and sisters (who live in the barn) cavorting about the kitchen. She was having a sleepover!
When inclined, she is a better guard dog than the actual canines in our house. When we get home, she
comes running and is there to greet us on the stairs, often making it long before the dogs do (if they make the effort at all). The other day Jack got home, opened the door and there she was, curled up on the stairs. There was one notable exception, however. It was not a Corgi, nor a Lab beside her. Instead, a fluffy Sussex hen looked up, stretched and slowly walked out the door behind my astonished husband. A chicken! IN the house!
Green Acres is the life for me?
