how far i've fallen.


when we first got the catties i said that they would absolutely NOT be "indoor cats."

then, when they were firmly implanted inside the house, i said they would NOT, under any circumstances, be allowed to sit on the furniture.

once they had permanently made themselves at home on our couches, i put my foot down and said that NO MATTER WHAT, they were ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT to ever lay on any of the beds.



and, then i realized that dave's favorite spot to take his nap every afternoon was abbey's & mia's bed. and i also realized that i never moved him off. because he looked so sleepy and CUTE.


and, then.......

i realized that i am all talk, no action. and a bit of a push-over. as well as totally pathetic.

If it makes you feel any better, the cats wouldn't have listened to you anyway. My cats can go anywhere except the countertops. After 3 years, I still have to squirt them with a water bottle nearly every day to get them down. Dang those cute fluffy beasts.

You need an intervention.

I am just the person for the job. Watch out if I am standing on your doorstep.

I tried kicking our cat off our bed during the night.

Over and over.

Then I realized it was a losing battle because he's awake and I'm asleep. I'm still holding strong on the furniture, though.

However, I'd still put myself firmly in the pushover category.

So I know you don't like dogs, but I have 3 and 2 of them sleep with me. We got a potbelly pig over the weekend and my husband asked if he could sleep on the bed. I said no and that I would have to draw the line somewhere, so I guess I do have some boundaries.

And I love you for it. Because nothing is so cute as your cat curled up asleep like a little donut on your freshly cleaned whites.
