Scary New Cat

October 2, 2013 Off By Lisa

It’s officially fall. And it’s October.

Kidzilla has been dying to get out the fall decorations this week and we are now thick in the process of placing pumpkins, leaves, and other sundry items around the house.

The minute the calendar turned to October, Zilla begged to get out Halloween items already. OK, fine. But I am already tired of catching myself in the act of reaching out to pet this idiotic thing…

Zilla picked this thing out at our supermarket two years ago. She loves it. But it sits there on the half wall smugly occupying the same space where the real Rotten Cats hang out.

And somehow, for three Octobers running now, I mistake it for one of the real Rotten Cats at least once a day. Usually more often.

How ridiculous.

But it is definitely a source of entertainment for all of us…except perhaps the real Rotten Cats. They are not fans at all.

Here’s Cat Two after meeting Scary New Cat two years ago. He was not amused.

And here he is today, getting reacquainted. Cat Two’s opinion has not changed. Clearly.

Cat One had to get involved and check things out, too. Here he tries to intimidate Scary New Cat with his hulking cat mass. Perhaps being the fattest Rotten Cat in the house will be helpful.

And Cat Three wouldn’t even go near the wall. Which leaves the score at Scary New Cat 3; Rotten Cats 0. Game on.
