Feline Fidelity

Well more feline infidelity or infelidlity, if you please.

For the last two weeks I have been staying with my parents and for the duration my childhood pet has been sleeping on my bed exclusively.

Now my cat Rosey is essentially  frigid.

She scratches and bites and only cuddles when she's cold - provided you don't take any liberties like stroking or petting her.

But last night something happened.

When I opened my bedroom door instead of my usual cold, unfeeling, distant and quite frankly abusive bedfellow, I was greeted by my sister's kitten.

The soft frisky bundle of fur skipped past me and nimbly clamoured onto my bed. He looked up at me with a playful glint his eye and before I knew it he was IN my bed snuggled up against me.

My only protest was a startled "you're not Rosey?". I didn't know what to do. He was silky warm as he rubbed his face against my neck before settling in under my arm.

I just lay their terrified that we might get caught! That Rosey might at any moment arrive to claim her spot and find the little usurper.

I could totally never cheat on a real person. I spent the whole night worrying that Rosey had come in and finding Benny had disappeared into the night and in a fit of jealously had duelled with a possum and died of a broken heart.

Honestly! Sometimes I worry about me.

A Dancing Star is Born

It is done!!!

I have come up with a name for a blog; a soapbox is created. 

This reminds me of a quote, which google tells me is from this guy - 

“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star”.

I love this quote. The idea that something beautiful and elegant not only can be but has to be created from a state of disorder. 

I guess it makes me feel  hopeful  certain that something Great must result from the meandering mess that trails me.

However this blog is unlikely to be Great. It will most probably be a meandering mess.

There is no theme and my posts will no doubt be be sporadic.

 

They will also contain spelling and grammatical errors - not because I can't edit (people have let me edit actual newspapers), but because sometimes I just can't be bothered to fix the typos. 

I will prattle on about whatever takes my fancy. 

Future posts will ideally include:

Current affairs

Politics

Witty observations

Well crafted opinions

Serious book reviews

Future posts are more likely to include:

Cocktail recipes

Rants

Blatant self-promotion

Shoes, dresses and smiley faces

Pictures of angry kittens

Also A number (2) friends have suggested I give advice. Apparently I'm quite good at this. Personally I prefer to live by the adage "never trust a skinny cook".

So with that in mind I will advice anyone on anything, serious or silly. If no one asks a question I will give unsolicited advice on questions people have asked real agony aunts, for no reason other than I can.
