a recent conversation regarding the cat...
My daughter: "How come she never bites you?"
Me: "Because she knows she'll get beat. I've warned her."
Grant: "How is it that you sound so mean when you call her and she just comes prancing in like it's nothing?"
My daughter: "Yeah, how come she listens to you?"
this went on and on for about 15 minutes... why this, why that... why does Roadkill* even like you... how do you get her to listen to you... how can you teach her tricks, she's a CAT... blahblahblah... so I said the only thing I could to get them to move on to something else...
Me: "Stockholm syndrome"
Bwa hahahahahaha! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI do maintain with the animals in my house...they love me most (or respect, whichever) because they know I am THE BOSS.
I assume you had to explain what Stockholm Syndrome was? If not, I commend you for the excellent psychological education your children have had the benefit of experiencing!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you could just tell them that cats, like dogs, bond to one person primarily and that's why the cat listens to you. But your reply was much wittier....
*laffz* I'm with Pop and Ice on this one. I have discovered, however, that it all depends on the temperament of the feline. Of all the cats I've had, only 3 would listen and come when called. The one I have now makes me wait unless she knows I'm getting something for her (or Im busy...THEN she wants my attention).
ReplyDeletelaughs out loud
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't have to explain my answer.
And once again, never underestimate the power of ham...
Hahahahahaha
