• Brain Dead....Just Brain Dead

  TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM...PART 2

  A few days back, I asked for suggestions on how to keep the cat from either killing me or getting killed.  Well, Fiona sent me a suggestion that involved the use of a few beans, tape and persistence.  I have to tell you that it didn't work....not like Fiona led me to expect.  Or any normal person would have.

  I got a can, put a tablespoon of beans in it (actually, I used a mixture of my precious split peas and some Northern beans), taped the hole and got ready.  Sure enough, as soon as I got to my feet, the cat sprang into action.  I stopped dead, pushed her gently aside with my foot while shaking the can and said, sternly, *No!*

  What did she do?  I swear she smiled like she found a new toy.  She got on her hind feet and tried to reach for the can.  I tried again saying, *NO!* and shaking the can and she wanted to rub her face on the can!  Brain dead.  The cat has to be brain dead.  Worse, later on, with the can sitting on my desk, she jumped up in my lap, swatted at the can to make it drop to the floor then jumped down to paw it and bat it around.  I tell you she is totally BRAIN DEAD.  She isn't normal.  Even the sudden thumping noise the can made as it hit the floor didn't make her flinch.  She knew a new toy when she heard one.  Either that or I just don't know how to shake a can to make a scary sound.  Whichever it is, it failed. 

  Sorry, Fiona.  I thought it was a good suggestion and worth a try.  We just didn't know how brain damaged this cat truly is.  **Sigh**  Anyone have any other suggestions?

  Love ya!
