KATIE: Looks more like you're king of those ginormous paws, Waffles.
WAFFLES: All the better to touch you, Boss.
KATIE: And, Waffles. What did I tell you about touching me?
WAFFLES: Uh, I forget.
KATIE: Seriously? Were we not just having this conversation?
WAFFLES: What conversation?
KATIE: The touching conversation?
WAFFLES: Awww, Boss. That's really touching.
KATIE: I got your touching.
Today's photos were taken on March 6, 2013. That would make Waffles barely 7 months old and Katie 7 years old. Waffles was becoming more and more serious about testing the limits with Katie. And Katie was only beginning to perfect her defensive skills.
To this day, Waffles LOVES to touch Katie. Every morning while their breakfast is being prepared, Waffles will sit really close to her, reach out with his giant paw and touch her chest, just below her chin. He does it in slow motion and often accompanies it with a long, drawn out meow.About 50% of the time there's a smack down and the other 50% of the time there's a stare down.
And about 95% of the time, the win goes to Katie.
Still, Waffles is pretty proud of his 5%.

Binga and I box before breakfast sometimes. I didn't want to at first, but I think she missed Sparkle doing it with her, so she kept at it til I responded!
ReplyDeleteSherpa loves to be near Harry but sometimes his intent is not so nice. What is it with orange cats and tuxie cats?
ReplyDeleteMy new woffie brother try´s to jump up on the bed and then I smack him on his head about 90% of the time´s :)
ReplyDeleteAaaaawww, I think deep down Katie is loving the attention. Why would she be so close to Waffles?!
ReplyDeleteAs long as Waffles knows that Katie's the boss ....
ReplyDeleteAnd how does that gorgeous white leather chair stand up to the claws in those paws? Not implying that they would ever intentionally claw it, but just the claws out when jumping off, or running across it.
ReplyDeleteWe do not do the smacky paws before meals,
ReplyDeletebut our furcousins do ;)
As long as Waffles is happy with his 5%. heehee
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
Take your 5% when you can get it, Waffles. You aren't going to get one over on the boss very often!
ReplyDeleteWe know all about the touching game...though ours is usually done with a headbutt, not a paw. ;)
ReplyDeleteFor us we'll now be able to date your photos from the color of your wood floors! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteMr. Chivers jusr ro do his to Samantha, usually Sam won with the most smacks. Mr Chivers is the yougest in our household. What is it with you guys? Trying to test the limits? The Queens will win. Funny boys. Purrs, Greyson, Mr. Chivers, Tabitha, Chloe
ReplyDeleteOoops my paws were off on the keyboard. Meant to say, Mr. Chivers used to do this to Samantha. MOL, Greyson
ReplyDeleteI vote for not touch. I think Katie is voting with me!
ReplyDeleteWe'd love to see a picture of Waffles getting a whap from Katie..
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
just testing the boundaries.....keep him in line Katie :)
ReplyDeleteOh Waffles, you are like my orange boy, Orion. He would be snuggly friends with anycat if they would only let him.

I think you both enjoy smacky paws really! I like your twisty scratcher. My mum got me some new treats that look like just it. They aren't that big though, more's the pity.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Katie! She’s got the moves to back up the stare.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSome buddy is going to scratch some buddys eyes out
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward

ReplyDelete5% is better than nothing, isn't it ? Purrs
