When kitty has a birthday…

Filed Under Babbling, Homelife 

He makes sure that everyone gets a present…

No joke, folks, today–April 1st–is the 3rd birthday of Sarah’s and my cat, Wooster.

While we adopted him in August of 2005 after Sarah’s graduation, because he was a foster kitten from the moment of his birth, we know his birth day. Half siamese and half tiger-tabby, we couldn’t ask for a better cat. And I don’t just say that because he’s on the bed behind me, reading this post over my shoulder.

So, like I said, he made sure that his humans both got gifts. First off, yesterday someone saw to it to finally get his paw up into my Lexmark 1150 printer the way he liked to do. And when I went to change the print cartridge? Well, his little furry paw had pulled the control wire to the carriage, so it made that pointless. Dead printer. Stupid cat. In its place, I replaced it last night with a new HP C4280. With a bit better ink economy, faster printing, and a paper feed area and catch tray that he can’t get his paw up into? Its a better printer for me.

Sarah sort of got the bum end of the deal in his gift to her. She went out to her car this morning and found that the right rear tire was flat. Called Roadside Rescue from Sprint and they put on the donut and pulled off the tire (seeing I was on campus for advising and couldn’t play the role of macho man). A quick ride to Costco and then to Tires Plus, and they’ll be taking the bolt out of the tire and patching it up. So she got a patch and a half of a day off of work. Of course all so she could spend more time with him. Or so he thinks…

So here’s to you, our little furry buddy… For all of the gifts you give us–and I’m not talking about what you and Cassie leave in your litter box–we love ya…

Let sleeping cats lie...
