I went out for lunch with some friends then to an afternoon showing of Tennesee Williams' Orpheus Descending. Afterwards I bought each of the animals a Swedish meatball from the garage shop as a treat.
Winnie got all hysterical over the " prize giving" and in her jealous excitement knocked Albert off his feet , stealing his ball from right out of his mouth.
The cat lost it BIG time.
Claws were brought into play and the big girl had to leg it, quicksticks as Albert wailed his best wail then effectively boxed the living shit out of her

Sometimes it's good to let off steam.
ReplyDeleteWhat is funny about your photo - and so true to life - that Albert is all relaxed and asleep whilst Winnie is trying to retrace all the wrong steps she took (albeit with a full tummy).
U
Poor Albert.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned.....maybe?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't put money on it
Delete"But it was worth it" - Winnie
ReplyDelete:)
the eyes!
ReplyDeleteI wish McKenna would whip out her claws a little more readily when Maddie gets overexcited. A couple slashes on the nose would advance her training exponentially. But I suspect she has a soft spot for dogs.
ReplyDeleteiwinson is jealous of treat time with Agatha. the mouths get so close sometimes I have to be sure where the cookie is going.
ReplyDeleteAgatha is getting better and is understanding (a little) that they both get a treat. 4 years with a dog hoarder has been hard on her. But she is slowly learning, iwinston somewhat.
cheers, parsnip
We used to have an elderly, bow legged Siamese cat, who woukd tolerate our Jack Russell tormenting her just so long. Then she would simply latch onto the poor dog's nose with her claws and hang on in there. The dog NEVER learned and had a very scarred nose to prove it
ReplyDeleteI had heard that Swedish balls can have a drastic effect on a girl.
ReplyDeleteAnd a few boys too
Deletei know a number of people that would swipe my meatballs if they could. meatballs can bring out the worst in some.
ReplyDeleteI think she probably thinks it was worth the ass kicking!
ReplyDelete"Never steal a cat's meatball", words to live by!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't dream of it.
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteNot unless I was desperate. I would eat your balls if needs must.
DeleteAlways play with a bear's balls
ReplyDeleteYou would know
DeleteLooks like Winnie has wisely decided to sleep with one eye open for a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh, Winnie you little minx! I do hope Albert got got a meatball of his own, poor lad.
ReplyDeleteHe didnt
DeleteCats have a way of getting even, Winnie better be careful
ReplyDeleteYou were entirely within your rights, Albert. No jury would convict you!
ReplyDeleteCats are so clever!. My cat butchie born same week i was ,grew up with me. was so protective. Followed me to primary and high school every day, knew where i would be in school at the end of the day, sat on the window sill at school n meowed loudly until i was allowed out!. I often was allowed out early. He then would walk 2 paces in frount of me guiding me home!. Loved that cat we were never apart!. Slept around my neck . He followed me everywhere!. When i got a job in an italian ice cream shop in the town as a child they had to let butchie in on a blanket on an old chair or he would scream!. Adored him!. X jacx
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteDon't ever mess with a cat. Winnie obviously survived.
ReplyDeleteThe irony being that cats claim any and all tasty things for their own. No wonder Albert was so pissed off.
ReplyDeleteThat felt good to me, too, Albert.
ReplyDeleteWoe betide anyone who crosses a pussycat, as we know from experience. Forgiveness is not in their vocabulary and they certainly know how to bear grudges. Hope Winnie has learnt her lesson, though I doubt it.'
ReplyDeleteI saw 'Orpheus Descending' in 1988 at London's Haymarket Theatre with Vanessa Redgrave and that then hottie Jean-Marc Barr (of whom whatever happened to?) - later filmed for TV with Redgrave and that then hottie Kevin Anderson (of whom whatever happened to?). Not the easiest of Williams' plays to get a handle on, nor one of his best in my opinion, though it has its champions. I hope the production you saw made it worthwhile.
It was worthy but overlong x
DeleteSounds like Aintree racecourse.
ReplyDeleteWell life hands out another lesson for us all. Always have an extra Swedish ball in hand.you never know the crises it may avert. Hope Albert got his own special treat perhaps a whole wild salmon which he ate while Winnie watched.Just joking hugs all round x
ReplyDeleteIs Winnie asking for forgiveness ?
ReplyDeleteI love your use of " quicksticks " I am going to remember to use it too.
Never under estimate a cat good on you Albert still I feel a bit sorry for Winnie.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Albert, anyone getting between me and my food would get a good arse kicking too.
ReplyDeletePerfect title. Perfectly told story. Perfect photo. What a way to start my day.
ReplyDeleteOh Winnie! Big mistake! I hope Albert has a short memory.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't
