Baby Girl and the Recliner

Life Rambling, Uncategorized Leave a comment

I have an OLD recliner in my office. I bought it ten years ago or so for $45 at Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I bought out from under and another couple. I had no guilt. This was the perfect chair for my office. Luckily, it is old and janky so I didn’t mind when the kitten started scratching at it. Only piece of used furniture we’d let her do that on. The material feels like corduroy so it’s held up very well. Anyway, while I think it’s perfect for crafting, playing video games, watching a show or just sleeping in when I don’t feel well, baby girl thinks it’s her chair for naps.

Last night I tried to sit down and get ready for a restless night since I haven’t been feeling well. I gently tried to coax her out of the chair for a minute, I started recording at about 30 seconds. Finally, I got tired of waiting and used a bit more of a forceful pat to finally get her out of the chair. She was for sure being a little shit about the whole thing.

This video needs sound to be amusing.

My Cat Still Likes Me

Since I’ve moved in here, with my chunky cat, she has not once come upstairs to be with me while I work or come upstairs to sleep in the bed with me. She quit sitting on the ottoman (which was partially my fault because I use the ottoman like a coffee table) and instead she’d go curl up beside mom or fall asleep on the couch. If I had been going through a depressive episode, I would have been in tears thinking that she didn’t like me (I know from past experience). But Friday, it all changed. She came upstairs!! And then she spent all day in bed watching me work. Then she came to bed that night. And when I thought she had abandoned me to go eat kibble, I found her sleeping on the floor at the foot of the bed. I thought it might have been a fluke but last night she came to bed again. My cat still likes me!

Cute Kitten Pics

So I mentioned that the kitten is growing up. She’s six months old and was just spayed two weeks ago. She is growing fast. Slick still likes to sit on my chest or be cradled like a baby. She cries for food like she hasn’t been fed in ages and doesn’t have kibble in her dish. Oil Slick’s favorite past time is getting into the blinds. We just love that. Her toys have taken over our apartment. She’s just become a part of our life.

Like any good cat parent, I’ve taken loads of pictures. She’s a black cat and in half of them she looks like just a black blur. However, the other half are just plum cute (though she’s still a bit of a blur). And I love how in some of the photos you can see her very subtle stripes.
