Cat Scratch Fever

By and large, Brianna and Bogart, our cat, have come to a mutual agreement not to aggravate each other. Most the time she no longer does crazy things to him like, I dunno, bounce on him or "cat ski" by holding onto his tail with a death grip while he runs away. In fact, these days she's more his protector, always trying to make sure he's well fed, (although he's already a super-fat cat). If she sees he has an empty food bowl she'll point it out and then scoop more in for him, even refraining from making cat soup (by mixing his food and water) as she used to. But, today the inevitable happened and she backslid. This morning, in a moment of weakness, she could be observed lying on the floor, watching TV and using Bogart as a pillow. Then, when one of her cartoon's themes was jumping she leaped up, turned around, grabbed both the cat's front paws and helped him "jump" to the music. He didn't really seem to enjoy it, (I think he was worried about maintaining his fatty cat figure). But, as always, he weathered it with much patience and when the "jumping" was over he slinked away to hide under the bed with what was left of his dignity.
