As some of you know, (like 1/3 of the 15 people actually reading this) I adopted a cat last fall. Although she is extremely adorable, she can also be extremely annoying. But in a cute way. (I have to say this because she is watching me type this and if I don't say something nice, she will likely murder me in my sleep.)
Anyway, she can be annoying in ways that are cute to the people around you. For example, yesterday she decided to lie down on my lap while I was watching TV. I wasn't in a very comfortable position. Although she was cute and purring, I really had to pee. So I get up, and she jumped off. She also was angry with me for about fifteen minutes.
She also has this look that makes you think she's going to murder your family. And then lead a cat uprising to enslave humanity.
But besides that, she also tends to knead on soft objects, mainly my pillows, the sofa, throw blankets and my bed. She purrs while doing so, making it extremely hard to concentrate. Did I mention, when she purrs SHE SOUNDS LIKE A FREAKING MOTOR.
The purring I have gotten used to. Her antics, not so much.
When she wants to play and no one is around, she terrorizes my sister's dog. When I mean "no one is around" I mean by "my mom is at work, my grandma's asleep, my dad's blowing up robots on his computer, my sister is making lunch, and I'm in the shower. (I normally don't wake up until about noon.) She (my cat) does so, by hiding under the sofa, and when the dog walks by, BAM! She jumps at the dog, nearly scratching her (the dog) across the face. The dog is now and forever, afraid of the cat. And the dog is a 10-year-old beagle who is overweight and has arthritis. Not even fair game.
And she (my cat) does the most annoying thing in the world. She loves laying down on paper. So while I read a book, she will lay down in the book and wave her tail in my face. Why? Because my cat is an attention whore.
(If my cat were a high school student, she'd be the stereotypical cheerleader. Pretty, vicious and always craving attention.)
She also unplugged my printer while I was working. Although what I was working on (downloading crap for The Sims 3 off of the Exchange) didn't require printing, I would need it next week for a French project. My desk is against a wall. I had to get between my desk and the wall to plug it in again.
She also runs on my school schedule, which is: up at 5:30 AM and go to sleep at 10:00 PM. So she comes to me at 9:30 trying to get me to bed by 10. The latest she stays up is 11:00. In the summer, I stay up until 2-3:00 AM and wake up at noon. Unless I have to be up in the morning.
And on a more recent note, she decided to take a nap in my sock drawer. On the bright side, she taught me to keep my dresser drawers closed.
I think she just does these things to piss me off. So she can watch me go into an OCD-related implosion of a large portion of my brain.
End rant.
