That sound came out of you?!

Just the other day, Himself was lying on the bed reading the newspaper. Miss Thang was happily nestled between his knees and according to Himself, she was purring really hard. Miss Thang is a very small cat, but the biggest noises come out of that very small body. Little Princess is very lady-like when it comes to her bodily functions. She has been known to go into another room to fart (unfortunately those farts follow her into the room where everyone is sitting, and they are very smelly), and the only noises I have ever heard from her were various kinds of meow. Miss Thang, on the other hand, is very un-ladylike when it comes to anything. She'll sit in the middle of a room, surrounded by people, and promptly bathe very carefully. Every hair must be in place and tacked down with enough cat-spit to drown a fish. She is very noisy when she bathes, making sure everyone knows what she is doing.

Another thing Miss Thang is not known for is her manners. She will fart in the middle of the room and look proud of the impressive sound that came out of her little butt. Himself told me that while he was reading his newspaper, he heard a new noise come out of Miss Thang: She burped. I guess it wasn't all that quiet, either. Himself looked at Miss Thang, and she licked her lips and gave him the 'pet me now' look she gives anyone who looks at her.

We love our cats, and we've been constantly surprised by them. Mom says that if we're surprised by the cats, then just wait until we have kids. The sad thing is, right now the cats are the kids.

More later. I have lots of math homework.
