BC: Bear Cat Kat [handsome tabby cat and Momma's Handsome Stripe-y Pants]
EM: Ellie Mae Kat [black, gorgeously floofy cat]
MK: Momma Kat [Bear and Ellie's human Momma, named Kat]
The Boy: Momma's fiance
BC: Momma!
{Bear taps Momma's nose with his paw}
BC: Momma!
{Bear taps Momma's nose with his paw}
BC: Momma!
{Bear taps Momma's eyelid with his paw}
BC: MOMMA!
{Bear taps Momma's eyelid with his paw}
MK: Whaaaaaaat?! I'm trying to sleep.
BC: But you're not asleep now.
MK: Not after you woke me up by pawing at my face.
BC: I had to get your attention somehow. You were snoring away and making it impossible for me to sleep.
MK: BEAR!
BC: I'm glad you're up! You can pet me.
MK: Bear, I'm not UP! I'm lying in bed and trying to sleep.
BC: Right. But you're NOT asleep, thus you can pet me.
MK: I thought my snoring was bothering you.
BC: That was just my excuse. But now that you're up ...
MK: I'M NOT UP!!!!
BC: Since you're awake ...
MK: I WANT TO SLEEP!
BC: I want a tasty whole chicken, a tank, a tiara, and a bazooka ... but wishes don't grow in fields.
MK: On trees?
BC: Them too.
MK: Oh, for ...
BC: {AHEM!!}
MK: WHAT?!?
BC: {AAAHEM!!}
MK: Forget it.
BC: You're not petting me.
MK: I'm also not sleeping.
BC: PERFECT! Don't you like how things always work out? You can pet me!
MK: Ugh.
BC: See, you might think that was a suggestion ... but ...
MK: It's a demand?
BC: Phht. You underestimate me. I don't DEMAND. I DESERVE.
MK: I'll pet you later.
BC: No. You'll pet me now.
MK: So you won't wake me up later?
BC: It depends if I want to be petted or not.
MK: Can't I just sleep for an hour uninterrupted?
BC: Why would you want that when I'm here!?
MK: When do I sleep?
BC: I, I, I, I ... EVERYTHING'S ABOUT YOU!
MK: As if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black.
BC: Phht. I've been called worse. If I'm going to call someone names, you better believe the name isn't going to be, "black." Like Smellie Belly! Or doughnut butt!
MK: HA!
BC: Just curious ... am I the pot or the kettle?
MK: Guess.
BC: All your stupid human expressions!
MK: How is it possible that you sleep eighteen hours a day and still manage to ensure that I can't sleep for more than an hour at a time?
BC: What can I say? I have mad skills.
MK: That's not what I would call them.
BC: Since you're up, you should pet me.
MK: I'M. NOT. UP!!!
BC: Could've fooled me.
MK: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGG!
BC: Hey, wait! What?! DON'T TOUCH ME!
MK: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
BC: I don't feel like being petted anymore.
MK: I couldn't tell.
BC: That's why I had to attack you.
MK: You enjoy this.
BC: Is it that obvious?
MK: That's IT!
BC: What? Where are you going? We're cuddling!
MK: Cuddling only works when a cat isn't all prickly!
BC: I resent that! I'm ALWAYS all prickly.
The Boy: Can't you two keep it down? Some of us are trying to sleep.
BC: Great! You're awake! You can pet me too!
The Boy: Don't be ridiculous. I don't fall for that anymore.
MK: I'm UP now! And I'm bleeding all over the place.
BC: I'm bored.
{Pause}
BC: Time for a nap ... good thing Momma's spot is nice and warm!
{A couple hours pass}
EM: OH! Momma's in the bathroom! A captive audience!
{Pause}
EM: Hi, Momma!
MK: Hi, Ellie.
EM: I'm going to dance for you, Momma! SEE?!?
{Pause}
EM: Isn't my tail pretty?
MK: Yes.
EM: I'm dancing really hard for you, Momma! Put some ones in my pants.
MK: EXCUSE ME?
EM: MONEY! Bear says dancers get tips ...
MK: You listen to Bear?
BC: {from the other room} HEY! What are you implying?
EM: What are you doing?
MK: Nothing.
EM: It doesn't LOOK or SOUND like nothing!
BC: {from the other room} She's using her litter box!
EM: But there's no litter! I just checked!
MK: ELLIE! Do you really have to check what's in the ...
EM: Why don't you use OUR litter box? We can share!
BC: {from the other room} WHAT?!?! Are you CRAZY?! Can you imagine? Momma and The Boy are so full of ...
MK: BEAR!
EM: Full of what? Good things? Laps? Cuddles?
{Pause}
EM: Speaking of laps ... can I sit on your lap, Momma?
MK: Not right now!
EM: But why not?
MK: I'm busy.
EM: Doing what? You're just sitting there!
MK: Can I have some privacy?
EM: Why?
MK: BECAUSE I CAN'T POOP WITH YOU WATCHING ME!
EM: Oh. I get it. I don't like being watched while I do my business. I'll look at the wall.
MK: Ellie, you don't have to ...
EM: Are you done yet?
MK: No.
EM: Are you sure?
MK: YES!
EM: I'm going to turn around for a moment so I can check.
MK: ELLIE!
EM: Nope. Not done.
{Ellie turns back around}
EM: 🎵🎵 Do de do de 🎵 🎵 do do de 🎵 🎵 de do do do do do ... 🎵🎵
MK: ELLIE!
EM: {turning around} OH! Are you done?
MK: NO! Stop singing!
EM: {walking away} Oh. This is taking WAY too long. I'm bored!
{Another hour passes}
EM: BEAR!
{Pause}
EM: BEAR!
{Pause}
EM: BEAR!
BC: Did Momma put you up to this?
EM: WHAT? NO!
BC: Go away!
EM: But ...
BC: NO! GO! AWAY!
BC: SMELLIE! LEAVE ME ALONE!
EM: But ...
BC: I DON'T CARE!
EM: I really think you ...
BC: MOMMA!!!!!!!!!! Smellie won't leave me ...
{The sound of the vacuum starts}
BC: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
EM: Maybe if you'd listened to me ...
{Bear runs back and forth across the room}
EM: Don't you think you'd have better luck hiding?
BC: {stopping to talk to Ellie for a minute} No one likes a know-it-all.
{Bear runs back and forth across the room}
EM: No one likes a cat that never listens.
BC: {as he passes Ellie} I listen. Just not to you.
EM: Look ou ...
{THUNK!}
BC: Ow.
EM: Bear does everything the hard way.
BC: THE WALL is the hard way.
EM: You could just hide under the bed with me.
BC: What does it tell you that I'd rather run into a wall?
EM: You have serious brain damage.
BC: Oh, shut up!

I dunno, all that sounds pretty normal to me, but I've not been known for lots of normal!
ReplyDeleteNeither are we!
DeleteBear, you and The PO'M like to scratch and bite! Is that a tabby mancat thang?
ReplyDeleteAll the better to taste you with ...
Delete[Momma's note: I wrote this in jest but after thinking about it, they might do this to smell us better - ie Flehmen response]
Busy busy busy. A momma to be does need her rest, Bear, so maybe you should try the boy next time ;)
ReplyDeletePurrs
ERin
Mother TO BE? Do you know something I don't? ~Bear Cat
DeleteMOL we think it's purrfectly normal!!
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
We're in perfect company then!
DeleteI'm a tabby girl but I don't scratch and bite. Must be a boy thing!
ReplyDeleteBOYS!
DeleteI agree, normal is overrated and no fun. Sleep though, is most important.
ReplyDeleteAs a cat, you'd think Bear would understand that!
Deletewe dunno guyz....knot lettin de mom ore dad purrson sleep.. N uze it in private like can
ReplyDeletehaz consequenzez....itz called crankee @$$ purrson sin drome N they mite stop given ya both
treetz....ya noe ~~~~☺☺♥♥
Treats? What are those? I don't think I've ever had any ... ~Bear Cat
DeleteThat was hilarious!! Especially Ellie asking for ones while dancing. Well worth the effort. I got a jolly good laugh cause I could picture here. What a riot.
ReplyDeleteJean
I see all of these posts happening in my head - and they make it all that much funnier!
DeleteThere really is no way to win with a cat!
ReplyDeleteWIN?! Hahahahahaha. NEVER. ~Bear Cat
DeleteBear! For pity sake. Tabbies of Trouttowne said something very impawtent. If humans don't get enough sleep they can and are very cranky! You better watch out because a tasty whole chicken may not make it to your house. Ellie Mae...We have some ones for your pants. Shashay on over...
ReplyDeleteA tasty whole chicken will NEVER make it to my house! Just being real. ~Bear Cat
DeleteAMARULA: I LOVE your version of normal Bear! And I can't imagine that anyone would rather sleep than give you the attention you deserve! (PS don't be embarrassed, the wall has also thwarted many of my attempts to escape the dreaded vacuum!)
ReplyDeleteYou can come over and give me attention any time! ~Bear Cat
DeleteROTFL, put some ones in my pants! I have long given up closing the bathroom door. Either Ringo or Lucy will barge in anyway.
ReplyDeleteBoth mine will!
DeleteMOL Mudpie is the first cat to accompany me to the bathroom...and she doesn't purposely wake me up, just walks over me to get her point across.
ReplyDeleteHaha. She's nice about it then. Bear makes sure I feel all of his 22 points!
DeleteBear, you should know your mom is much more likely to provide lots of petting when she's had a good night's sleep. Just saying. 😺
ReplyDeletePhooey! ~Bear Cat
DeleteSheesh, what's a cat momma have to do to get a little privacy (and sleep!)?
ReplyDeleteDo you really want to know?! ;)
DeleteYou all wouldn't even know what to do with normal! Well, Momma might decide to get some sleep.... :)
ReplyDeleteHA! I'm pretty sure Momma doesn't function on normal herself ;)
DeleteBear, I can't figure out why humans sleep when they do. If you figure out why, can you let me know? They're schedules are all wacky and they try to get us to accommodate their sleep schedules. When they're asleep they should be awake and paying attention (providing entertainment, serving, grooming, doing waste management and collection, etc.) to us pussycats. You are wise to wake up your momma when you did. I've heard a story of a man that slept for 100 years. Have you heard that, too? Tee hee hee. Winks.
ReplyDeleteWe'd starve! Well, Smellie wouldn't because she weighs like a bazillion pounds but that would be horrible! ~Bear Cat
