Camouflage

Although Hope may appear benign in this photo, she is about to bust out a can of Whup-ass on my receipt from Barnes & Noble. She lies on my rug, blending into its colors, making her body all flat and terrifying … staring down that receipt. Staring it DOWN. The receipt doesn’t stand a chance. It is about to be ripped to SHREDS. It should be AFRAID FOR ITS LIFE. Because there’s a new Sheriff in town, and she is a bad-ass, and she also has the ability to subtly blend into her surroundings, so that you never ever see her coming.

    hahahaha

    I have noticed in my own community that there is a huge increase in juvenile delinquency amongst Barnes & Noble receipts, so I am SO GLAD that she is so on top of it. Without her, it’d be anarchy!

    I love her! And I would sit and kiss her bad ass face all day.

    My lord but you’re prodigious – and thorough. Books by the barge load, movies, actors/actresses, personal episodes and asides. Talk about “fast-track”. Have you some gift (photographic memory) and/or skill (Evelyn Wood speed reader) and/or superpower? If this all is the result of some elixir that comes in a bottle, where can I place my order?

  5. red says:

    George – Ha!! I think most of it comes from OCD, frankly. Glad you like!

  6. De says:

    It’s definitely a superpower!!

    Oh my! the look in her eyes! Bad-Ass Hope is so much different than Content-in-the-sink Hope.

    She don’t need no steenkin’ badges!

    That read like a “Wild Kingdom” or “National Geographic” voiceover–yeah, kick some paper tail, Hope!

    Did you know there’s a YA novel from the early ’70s with the title “A Cat Called Camouflage”?

    …so you brought in something that will kill anything that moves and most things that don’t. I see. ;-)

    Our kittens are currently occupied with the Drying Garlic and Mylar Balloon menaces. Who said you can’t successfully prosecute a two-front war never had cats.

    Drying Garlic and Mylar Balloon menaces

    hahahahahaha Sounds like an afternoon double-feature!

    Never fear: The Captain is keeping all lint balls, random pieces of hair, and sunbeam dust at bay. He is ON IT.

  14. Karen says:

    I particularly enjoyed “bust out a can of Whup-ass.”

    Go, Sheriff Hope! Keep order ‘mong them lawless varmints.

    We call our cat Danger Kitty for similar reasons.

  15. red says:

    Lisa – Is he making sure his own tail doesn’t misbehave??

  16. red says:

    Mere – Yes – I love the difference! Chillin’ in the sink, all relaxed, and then ready to POUNCE.
