mortification

Callie is generally a snoopy cat - very curious, especially inquisitive, and sometimes, down-right meddlesome! Indoors, she typically follows me from room to room, and when I go outside, she watches me thru the door or windows. Either she loves my company as much as I love hers, or she is just plain nosy! From the very beginning, Callie’s snooping tendencies got her into trouble. We quickly realized she had this predisposition by default, but gee whiz!!!

The other evening, Mark heard some commotion outside, coming from the house next door. The place had been vacant for many months, and neighbors were beginning to move in. Mark carefully peered thru the blinds in our guest bedroom, just to check it out. Callie came running into the room, bounded up onto the nightstand, stretched out her paw, yanked down a hefty section of blinds, and stuck her head thru until her nose touched the glass. So, should the neighbors notice the window, they'd see a cat head sticking thru, with eyes gawking at their every move. This goes way beyond sticking her nose in where it didn’t belong, literally.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

The trouble with cats is that they've got no tact.
