Bloody Cat

[poliphilo]

I love him dearly but he's got this habit of walking right in front of you and even sitting or lying down in your path. He does it with my mother, who- not being used to cats- is reluctant to poke him with the legs of her walker and instead just stands there going, "Oh cat" in a sorrowful voice. I was heading into the kitchen just now- carrying a tray- and so not able to see my feet- and found myself booting him roundly in the ribs. He doesn't seem to mind- or at least if he does it doesn't cause him to modify his behaviour.
