TSC - Outsmarting Spike

2007.09.21
There I was, surveying my kingdom, when I heard the click of the screen door.

Hey, did you forget I was out here?

Excuse me, I'm hungry and I need to eat!

Please let me in, I'll be good. I swear.

Maybe if I hide over here, she'll open the door and look for me.

How can she resist this face?

There must be an escape route somewhere here.

The roof maybe?

Except I'm afraid of heights. There's only one option left...

PLEASE LET ME IN. PLEASE LET ME IN. PLEASE LET ME IN. PLEASE LET ME IN.

This weeks Spike Chronicles show how I outsmarted Spike (a rare occasion). I've started locking him out on the balcony when I need to bring in a lot of groceries, etc. It's easy to lure him out there since he loves spending time out there. And then I don't have to worry about him escaping.

But when I close the screen on him out there, he doesn't like it in the least. He plays poor, pathetic Spike and gives me his saddest look and then starts meowing. You'd think I was beating the little rotter. I have to harden my heart though to not let him in when he starts banging on the screen. I am a meanie, huh?

These were taken thru the screen which is why some of the shots seem soft focused. You can see the screen a little in some shots. And I shot them at ISO 1600 since it was cloudy outside and he light was low.

dquixote What a cat - playing on your emotions like that...
At least he doesn't have a hat,
For then you would have
a cat and a hat

Ok - sorry - poor play on Dr.Seuss...couldn't help it. ;-)

Pretty cat - and definitely plenty of personality...catonality...can a cat have 'person'ality??? Hmmmm....

photopoet A friend of mine who is a cat lover would say, "For the moment you have the upper hand, but it's just until the cat figures out how to get his own way." I love these photos and the captions.
