Occupy Cat Scratcher

WAFFLES:  The Boss is coming and she's got that get-off-my-scratcher look on her face. I better move on account of she's also got that I-mean-business look on her face.



WAFFLES:  Hey Boss. Nice scratcher.



KATIE:  You're not getting the scratcher, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  But I wasn't even–

KATIE:  You've got that get-off-my-scratcher look on your face. I can see it a mile away. There's another scratcher right over there. 

WAFFLES:  But I really like this scratcher.

KATIE:  Occupied, Waffles. Occupied.

WAFFLES: Occupied by you or that big hairy spider?

KATIE:  Spider? What spider??

WAFFLES:  The one crawling under your–



KATIE:  SPIDER!!!!



WAFFLES:  The Boss is even more scared of imaginary spiders than the real ones.

About Today's Photos
Today's photos all take place on the most popular scratcher in the Townhouse. It sits adjacent to Katie & Waffles' food prep area and gets a LOT of pre-breakfast, pre-dinner and pre-whenever-anyone's-hungry use. The photos also illustrate how Waffles, despite his goofy innocence, is very much the planner in the family. He'll often observe what's going on with a certain element of stealth. It's almost like he's working out the details of his plan in his head. Whether it's commandeering the scratcher, overtaking the catnip pickle or sizing up someone's lap, his wheels are always turning.

  1. No SPIDERS! It's funny. I'd bet if you got a second one they'd still "discuss" things over the first one and ignore the second. Cats!

  12. Good move Waffles. Except Katie was there first, and the rule is whoever gets there first gets the prize! I'm so happy you have turned out to be good friends. Considering your age difference and Katie was an only child, you both have done great at accepting the other. I know, it took awhile and there were probably a few fights along the way, but you finally made it!
