A Cat Tale ~ The Real Deal

Me: “Get down from that cupboard! Just sitting there like you own the kitchen.”

Jet:  “I’m sure you’ll get over it.

Or - we could make a deal.

I will not get on the cupboard or the table whenever you are in the room.”

Me:  “Or my little freezer.”

Jet:  “Why? I need that space.”

Me: “Too close to the cupboard, that has to be part of the deal.”

Jet:  “It’s closer to the back door. I'm still working on getting the lock open.” (She thinks I can really open that thing.)

Me:  (He’ll never be able to open that lock.)

“On second thought, I suppose I could - maybe - I could let that one go.”

Jet: (I knew she’d cave. Close to the door - close to the cupboard - that’s the real deal.)

“Never try to outstubborn a cat.”
