Elise's Purrfect Tales

Hornet 2 Mommy 0

Well, Catster Friends, I thought that I had seen it all when it came to dopiness where Mommy Holes in the Head is concerned but this weekend Mommy took the Grand Prize.
Now I am not sure what happened to the hornet because by the time I saw it several of my brothers and sisters were standing in the den surrounding a very angry hornet. It was obviously injured and on the floor.
Mommy walked in and didn't want us to get stung so she picked it up with a paper towel, flicked the towel out the den window and that's when all the trouble began.
For the past 3 weeks Mommy has had what she calls "drunken sailor syndrome" from her brain lesions. ( I apologize to all sailor's for this) She isn't dizzy but she staggers all over. When this happens, all of us head for the hills. None of us want somebody Mommy's size staggering on us!
When Mommy flicked the paper towel out the window she put the paper towel on the windowsill to shut the window and she got the "staggers". Trying to regain her balance her hand plopped hard on the paper towel. Lo and behold the hornet was underneath the paper towel. It never flew off and stung Mommy in the palm of her hand. It blew up and got all red very fast. Mommy yelled "ouch" and picks up the paper towel withut looking (DOPEY!) and gets stung again in the thumb of the other hand!
Now, Catster Friends, any intelligent human or feline would have learned a lesson from the first sting but not Mommy Holes in the Head.
In the end she did finally get rid of the hornet. Took 2 tries and 2 bites! How embarrassing!
If you ever have a chance to bet money on someone going against Mommy, bet on the other person no matter what the point spread is. I think you can see why Mommy never wins!
It was not a purrfect day! (but it was kind of funny tee hee!)

Thank you, Catster Diary Person of the Day Picker

I am really honored to once again be chosen to be the Diary Pick of the Day. That makes me so happy! Mommy says that maybe this will change our luck and good things will start to happen.

I am purring for Ashley and Timmy that they get well and that the problem the doctor heard when listening to Daddy's heart is "a fluke" as Mommy says although I don't know why Mommy wants Daddy's heart to be a smelly old fish.

I don't think that I will ever understand humans but I don't have to understand them. I just have to love them.

Thanks to the Catster Diary person it was a purrfect day!
