I have successfully embarassed my cats.

Tonight, Yitzak was sitting on my desk when Miette hopped up, intending to lounge on it. She came to a halt when she saw Yitzak, and they both sat down and started staring at each other. Tension rose, and clearly there was going to be a dominance challenge of some kind.

I watched them for a second, and then waved my hand in between them, making fluttery motions and saying "Distract! Distract!"

They both blinked several times, and then refused to look at each other or at me. After a few moments, they both hopped off the desk.

I imagine the dialog went something like this...

Yitzak: "I will not yield."
Miette: "Neither will I!"
*stare*
Me: *flutters hands* "Distract! Distract!"
Yitzak: "Uhhh..."
Miette: "Umm..."
*pause*
Yitzak: "So, uh..."
Miette: "Yeah...umm..."

*leave*

It takes real talent to embarass a cat.

I don't think I've ever embarassed Morris-kitty. Driven mad with annoyance, sure. But not embarassed.

LOL Yeah...our cats have similar conversations...

Do not impinge upon the Massive Dignity™ of cats, lest they be offended and gack a hairball upon thy prized possessions.

Ha. They'll be plotting revenge now, you know.

I also just now noticed your previous entry. Can't imagine how I missed it. You need to make your blog more visible or something. =P

I love your cat stories.

My cats, sadly, need regular embarrassing. When Gatsby gets out of the apartment, and needs reminding that he's not a noble hunter in the wild, when Cinnamon needed a bath, or when I tossed her from the bed when she began horking while snuggling me.

I love the "disract!", though.

Yitzak was, I think, glad to avoid a confrontation. Miette's bigger than he is.

As for Miette, she forgot about it five minutes later.
