Dear cats

You are both dark-coloured felines. Our house has a blue carpet. Our hallway has a dark curtain between it and the living room (because there is no room to hang a door).

When Mr Brammers goes mad and decides to turn the hallway lights off rather than to dim, then goes to bed, this is not a sign that you should position yourselves in said hallway on the drape of said curtain at the exact spot that the light from the living room runs out. Because you will find yourself being trodden on, which you won't enjoy, and twisting my bung foot, which I won't enjoy, as I desperately struggle to not put my weight down mid-stride.

I am very glad that you were not hurt beyond a rush of panic, but now I will have to wear flats to the wedding tomorrow rather than heels, so when I am accused of making poor fashion choices, I will be blaming you.

Love,
The person who buys you the expensive kibbles. Start behaving or it will be generic brand varieties before too long.

Perhaps you could stick some high-vis strips on them? Not sure they would appreciate it, but it's better than being trod on!!

Boy, do I understand this. I always leave a light on somewhere. My place is a minefield.

Cats love to get in the way: I suppose they think they're being "helpful." Annabel kept jumping on G when he was trying to hang pictures today.

Hope a good night's sleep is all you need for your foot to feel better.

Heh. You'll have to let me know if that works for you, 'cause if it does I might try writing a letter to my four about why it would be best for them not to *walk right in front of me very slowly* especially when I'm carrying something hot and/or sloshy. Cats. Gotta love them. Because if you killed them, you'd probably feel bad once the intense rush of satisfaction wore off. :)

Oh no. You could still attempt the heels. I have done so in the past with a buggered foot and have not regretted it one bit. Er, not one single bit. *shifty eyes*
It gave me three inches worth of height. I call that worth it.

*pets the cats* I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose. Unless they did. Then you have evil cats. *pets you*

How about glow-in-the-dark collars? It will be faster than training them (because
that
will never happen)...

I hope you feel better and have fun at the wedding. At least you have a great excuse not to torture yourself on heels.

I will resist the temptation this time. ;DDD

Hope your foot is better!

Bad cats! Hope you're not in too much pain, oh illustrious leader!

A cat's diary, day 1940 ...

'Our latest attempt to assassinate the small human can opener has failed. Once again the cover of dark and the careful placement of our bodies in the line of danger was overcome. We take pleasure in the obvious injury sustained, but this is mitigated by our own aggravated nerves. We shall try again ... mwahahahaha'

All cats, no matter how well you love them and care for them, are compelled to attempt to kill you. *nods knowingly* Seamus (icon) lies at the top of the stairs in the dark. Now, it would be a problem to step on him coming UP the steps, but I believe I'd die if it happened as I was attempting to go DOWN the steps.
