Cat and mouse game; I'm the mouse
This week I've been batching it,
and I must say that I miss my
wife. It's not that I can't cook and
*ash dishes and make the bed
and do all those other silly things
that our poor wives have to do
day after day, year after year.
No, there's no problem there.
It's the danged cats. ,They're
driving me out of the remnants of
what was once a fine mind.
I'd rather live with a herd of
goats than, with two cats, I've
concluded.
Take one elderly she -cat who
has been spayed. She was quite
Content with life. She is beautiful
and very, very distant, except
when she's hungry.
There isn't a bone in her body
that is friendly. She just wants
you to keep your distance, feed
her well, and let her bask on a
sunny stair -tread. In return, she
will guarantee not to make a
mess in the house. I had just
begun to tolerate her, if not like
her, after about six years.
Now, add a boisterous young
tom cat. He's as agile as an
orang-outan, has an appetite like
a polar bear, has the manners of
a pig, and is sickeningly friendly.
He has completely disrupted
what was a fairly quiet, peaceful
household.
He is driving the old cat out of
her nut. He follows her around,
licking and kissing her, until she
spits, takes a swipe at him and
makes him back off long enough
for her to skedaddle to one of her
hideouts. He looks hurt.
All you have to do is settle down
with a newspaper and a cup of
tea, and he's quite likely to come
flying through the air, sending
the paper one way and the tea the
other, as he seeks solace for his
yearning heart.
Given any encouragement
whatever, he'll climb a8 over
you, digging his claws into your
shoulders because he doesn't
know any better smoothing your
face and neck in a wet, disgusting
fashion, before thumping himself
down for a rest on your stomach
or chest or any other part of you
that suits his convenience.
Two minutes later, he hears the
old cat sneaking around, digs his
claws into your knee and takes a
flying leap, off to court her some
more.
There's absolutely no sex in-
volved. He just wants to be loved
by a second°mother, but she is a
happy, childless widow, and
wants to stay that way..
You can't even feed them to-
gether. She is a dainty eater. He
eats like a wolf who has just
broken a long fast. Put down two
bowls. He gulps his while she is
sniffing hers,. then shoulders her
aside and gets into her grub,
while she bats him ineffectually,
then retreats in disgust to sulk
under a bed. ,
She is a bed sneaker -under,
since he arrived. And if there's.
anything more difficult than
getting a determined old cat out
from under a bed, I'd like to see
it.
The only way to do it is go
under the bed after her, with a
broom or mop. You wind up,
puff-
ing, stuck under the bed, while
she has darted off and is under'
one of the beds in one of the other

rooms. She's as slippery as an.eel
and a heck of a lot more cunning.
Meanwhile, during the half
hour you chase the old cat, trying
to grab any of her extremities so
that you can throw -her out, where
she should have been long ago,
his arrogant young nibs is having
the run of the kitchen.
He's not a bed sneaker -under.
He's a counter -walker. 'And a
cupboard -door -opener, One leap
and he's up on the kitchen coun-
ters, strolling, sniffing, licking.
Don't leave the butter out. He'll
down a quarter -pound, . straight.
Give him three minutes alone
and he's somehow opened the
cupboard door below the sink and
isaily into the garbage.
He'll eat anything baked
potato skins, left -over soup, stale
lettuce, fried eggs.
The only time I have seen him a
bit nonplussed was on New
Year's Day. Maybe he had a
hangover. I was half -drowsing in
a chair, and watching him out of
a corner of my eye, in case he
took a flying leap and threw his
arms around my neck to kiss me,
which I abhor.
He'd caught a mouse, it
seemed, though we've never had
mice in this house. He would slam
his paw on it, pick it up in his
teeth; 'chew it and swallow it. A
tiny mouse.
BETTER ENGLISH
Thank goodness he's good. for
something. Then . he'd throw ° up
the mouse, and go through the'
whole business again, I got a bit
alarmed that he'd throw up more
than the mouse one of these
times, onto the rug. I investi-
gated.
He was trying to digest one of
those wide elastic banes. Every
time he hit it, it would jump, so he
thought it was alive and chewed it
and swallowed it, but couldn't
keep it down,
That's the kind of stupid cat he
is. But he's getting smart very
quickly. When I try to grab hi -n
and throw him out into -the sn: w
after a feeding, he goes by me
like a cheetah going by a rhino-
cerous..
Sure wishmy wife would ' get
home; It takes two of us to hanele
the two of them.
