MK: Momma Kat
Daily conversation - The picture wars:
BC: HI!
MK: Hi, Bear.
BC: HI!
MK: Hi, Bear.
BC: {jumping on the table} Hi!
MK: What?
BC: HI!
MK: This game again?
BC: {jumping in Momma's lap} What are you doing?
MK: What?
BC: HI!
MK: This game again?
BC: {jumping in Momma's lap} What are you doing?
MK: Reading an article.
BC: Why?
BC: Why?
MK: Because I want to.
BC: {putting his nose to Momma's nose} Why?
BC: {putting his nose to Momma's nose} Why?
MK: I don't know.
BC: This might be a good time for a few of those salmon treats.
MK: I gave you your wet food treat an hour ago.
BC: Exactly.
MK: I don't normally give you treats after your wet food treat.
BC: You did in these cases ...
MK: Because I needed the pictures for a post. The first one is from Momma's revenge and the second is from The line-up. See?
BC: So take pictures for another post and bribe me.

MK: No.
BC: Since I had my wet food treat, I'm ready for dessert.
MK: Treats don't come with dessert.
BC: Why?
MK: They don't.
BC: WHY?
MK: Because I said so.
BC: Well THAT seems like a crappy reason.
MK: Tough.
BC: I want salmon treats.
MK: No.
BC: Chicken treats?
MK: Bear, this isn't a negotiation.
BC: Why not?
MK: Because I'm the adult here.
BC: Technically, I'm older than you. Ten in cat years ...
MK: Are you trying to annoy me? Like these times?
BC: Who's the annoying one?
MK: I'm the boss.
BC: Well, THAT'S debatable. When this happened, I pretty much looked like the boss.
MK: What about these times when you got bested by a box of papers and a soda bottle?
BC: And this ... I owned the conference swag!

BC: And this ... I owned the conference swag!
BC: HEY! There was CATNIP in there!
MK: Yeah. I remember the resulting catnip habit. Who looked like the boss in this one?
BC: HEY! I'm rocking that chair ... as inferior as it is. You forgot that this was your view.
BC: It's not my fault your butt is bigger than my entire body!
{Pause}
BC: Uh oh.
{Pause}
BC: Who's the boss here?
MK: I'm the parental figure.
BC: You mean the tyrant-ial figure?
MK: That's not a word. And besides ... your signs were rather tyrannical.
MK: Not to mention your demand to be called Male Princess Buttercup Black Bear Cat of the Forest.
BC: Haha. Nothing about me is "little!" Besides, I wasn't so sexy when I lacked sexy pens ...
MK: Poor you.
BC: FINE. Then you're a harridan!
MK: Now I'm old? You said in cat years you're older, so ...
BC: RATS!
BC: No. But I DID complain about you in this post. Your "dancing?"
MK: Oh? You didn't complain about me when you required rescuing when you got stuck in the handle of the plastic bag ... or when you got your BACK paw stuck in the jar of peanut butter ... or when you got your paw stuck in the toaster.
BC: I err ... err ... I HATE YOU!
MK: Oh?
BC: I'm not talking to you Ms. Know-it-all.
{Pause}
MK: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ...
BC: Umm ... Momma?!?
MK: Hang on a second, Bear!
BC: HI!
MK: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ...
BC: Umm ... Momma?!?
MK: Hang on a second, Bear!
BC: HI!
MK: Bear. Not this game again, okay?
{Pause}
MK: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ...
BC: Maybe you should watch what you're doing?
MK: Just hold on ... I'm in the middle of reading this article and screwing on the cap of the soda bottle.
BC: Maybe it's just me, but look at the cap, Momma!
MK: Yeah ... just a minute ... almost ... GRRRRRR.
{Pause}
MK: (BLEEP)!
BC: {snickering} I told you!
MK: Oh .... crap. You could've told me there was already a cap on the bottle.
BC: I tried! You said you were too busy to listen!
MK: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ...

BC: I tried! You said you were too busy to listen!
MK: I find it interesting the dichotomy between what you listen to and what you choose NOT to listen to.
BC: I hear it all as "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." I wish the kitty gods would create a silent lap.
MK: Bear ...
BC: That was ALMOST as funny as the time you looked for the cap to my toothpaste for fifteen minutes before you realized you'd already screwed in back on.
MK: If you don't have a picture of it, it never happened.
BC: RATS!
MK: If you don't have a picture of it, it never happened.
BC: RATS!

MOL! Bear Cat, you may not want to insult the human while trying to get treats from her....we find that staring our human down usually works pretty well.
ReplyDeleteThat's my MO too. ~Bear Cat

DeleteHmmmmmm .....
ReplyDeleteBear, we think you have proven that you are the Boss. Well, next to Bruce, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you're right! ~Bear Cat
DeleteRosie is most impressed with sitting on the keyboard technique. She prefers to walk across the keyboard kind of like a treadmill. She says it helps her keep up her girlish figure.
ReplyDeleteBear's impressed too ... Rosie is clearly onto something ;)
DeleteSometimes photographic evidence can be helpful, other times it can come back to bite you ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteBear is the boss, but you are the one with the thumbs.
ReplyDeleteNo truer words were ever spoken! We both agree!
