So. You are all Geniuses. And I hate you ALL.
Category: Zoot's Zoo |

When we left off the “Pillow Fight” saga, I had put the SK8TR Boy pillow I had been using - that Bambi seemed to love - in his bed and had gotten the pillow off the guest bed for me to use. As you see here? He wasn’t using it. However, I wasn’t going to accept all of your predictions that it was that he just wanted MY pillow, not THAT pillow. I thought, maybe he just wants it to be OUT somewhere soft, like my bed. I mean - honestly? That pillow doesnt really fit in those beds anyway - so it wouldn’t be that comfortable. THAT is why Bambi didn’t use it. I was totally convinced.

So, I made him a nice bed on top of LilGirls cage. I put the old comforter on it, and then the SK8TR Boy pillow on top of it. Isn’t that a great idea? SURELY he’ll just love that. Dont you think? Its soft underneath, like my bed is, but it still has the SK8TR Boy pillow on top of it. AWESOME. And? Its in the sun. And? He can see out the window on it. I’m a freakin’ genius people. I have totally solved the problem. And all of you? Will be proven wrong. And I? Will gloat gloat gloat.

Well, obviously, he still preferred his plain old basket. But, I still wasn’t ready to accept the theory that he just wanted MY Pillow. I thought - maybe its just because its daytime. Maybe, at night, he’ll want to sleep on the bed I made him with the pillow he loves, right? See - I’ve been home ILL (super-painful-I-want-to-die-ILL) for the last two days, I don’t know his daytime habits. Maybe this is what he does EVERY day, so he wouldnt change his habits for a silly pillow, right? So SURELY at night he’ll sleep on the pillow he loves, right? SURELY you all will be proven wrong, right? And SURELY I’ll still be able to do a GLOATPOST right? Surely…

Okay. So this is LAST night. Notice I am NOT using the SK8TR Boy pillow. I am using the guest bed pillow. SO - you were ALL right. It wasn’t even just MY Pillow. It was evidently MY Pillow with MY Head on it. So you are all a bunch of Cat-Lovin Geniuses. Well - all you Geniuses NOW have to tell me what do I do to stop this. Before he actually gets stuck in my ‘fro permanently.

    I guess it would be mean to say I told you so to a sick woman, but who am I kidding, its not like I’m nice! (Told ya so!) Seriously, just keep pushing her off, eventually she’ll get pissed enough that she’ll just give up.

    Awww, we no want no sickie Zoot. Get better, Zoot!

    I don’t know how to solve the cat problem. She sho’ is cute, though.

  3. Chris Says:

    I fought a similar problem last night. I’m sorry though - it is pretty cute.

  4. Chris Says:

    Oh…and if you felt like crap, you should have told me! I would have taken haiku duties from you! You’re a trooper. Feel better! :-)

    But…but…

    That is the cutest damn picture ever. Let that cat sleep on yo’ head…she is way too pretty!

  6. Michelle Says:

    Eeeeeeeeeee! Love!

    But see, this why over in Chez Broad, the boys just kinda go where they want to go without me saying a word — it’s a losing battle anyway, so why not just enjoy the love and cuteness!?!?

    Just embrace the fact that you have a new hair accessory. Could be worse. What if it were a Great Dane, huh? What would you do then. Not so bad now is it?

  8. Anne Says:

    I love the fact that in this picture the cat? Is still not happy.

    The cat is clearly thinking, “Well, this is where her head is, so it’ll have to do, but I wish she’d kept that other pillow.”

  9. scorpy Says:

    heh heh heh… I agree with Rick. Definitely better than a Great Dane. Definitely better. (Now I feel like RainMan.)
    What to do about it? Hm… Maybe it’s the softness of your hair. Ever sleep with it in braids, or something, so there’s nothing to wind the paws through?
    Could the cat be there to absorb body heat? Maybe?

    Nothin’ you can do Zooty. You’re stuck with the cat on your head. Unless you wanna lock her outta your room at night, but that’s just not something most cat-mommies can handle.

    Good luck with that! You’ve joined the ranks of the rest of us who have cats that sleep on our heads. Isn’t it nice to be loved? :)

  11. Kerry Says:

    Ah yes, the cat on the head. Could be worse. I have two that fight over which one of them gets to sleep on my head. Which involves hissing and scratching and just isn’t pretty. Plus I’m slightly allergic to them, so I wake up in the morning with my eyes completely glued shut. Makes putting in my contacts a joy, let me tell you!

  12. Dawnie Says:

    You’re stuck. The cat has decided that it likes your head, so your head it is. Ain’t nothing you can do. Except invest in a nightcap so he doesn’t get stuck in your ‘fro.

    That’s a wicked cute picture, though. Especially since you can tell he’s totally thinking, “bitch is stealing my pillow… AGAIN.”

  13. Lisa Says:

    That last photo is great. I’ve managed to teach my cats to stay off of my pillow, but I don’t really remember how I did it. It’s been a while.

    Good luck though!

    Awww that is too cute!! Simba is a pillow stealer too. I guess cats are like that :)
