A Mother and a Cat’s Concern

Via email this morning:
Mom: “Are you still coughing? It’s been very cold at night lately, and Saturday night will be worse, you guys want to come over for Hot Pot Sat. night? We can also get crabs too.”
Me: “I’m coughing my lungs out. I think I figured out last nite that the nite coughs are because of cold air hitting my throat. Every time I cough, Dodo comes running in meowing to ask if I’m okay.
[Mr. W]’s parents called last nite and said they are going to drive down from Vegas either today or tomorrow to visit because we wouldn’t be seeing them for Christmas. [Mr. W] thought it’d be a good time to have the families meet, what do you think?”
Mom: “Dodo is so cute. Yeah, I think we should have American food at restaurant, right?”
Me: “Actually, when I cough, Dodo might be running in to tell me to shut up, I don’t know. I just like to think that he’s asking if I’m okay.
I think [Mr. W]’s parents aren’t very experimental with food, so it should probably be an American restaurant. Like [Mr. W]’s kids, they THINK they eat Chinese food, but I tell them what they’re eating is not really Chinese food. haha.”
Mom: “Wear scarf or something to keep your neck (throat)warm, that helps.”
The families meeting- excited? nervous?
I wasn’t aware that cats were as loyal and perceptive to their owners as dogs…that is actually really sweet (if Dodo IS asking if you’re okay) ha
Stoic. My parents can handle themselves properly. His parents are warm and open-minded. I don’t anticipate problems or misunderstandings.
Yup, you’re like many non-cat owners who aren’t around cats and somehow have an opinion of cats that is totally erroneous to the nature of cats. (Referring to your meme post about how dogs are great and cats should be roadkill.) You should do a search on my blog for all Dodo entries, he may gain a new fan in you.
I think Dodo just likes the sounds of his own voice. He’s always interrupting me. >:-(
well, I searched and I read…I have to admit, your dad’s comment about the petshop was funny and your mom’s comment about the restaurant was hilarious!!! (Fun in the Family post) I think my roadkill comment was nicer than cooking it? 🙂 jk
but in all seriousness… after seeing the pics taken from your camera phone, Dodo does look cute napping ..all seriousness
Dwaine – I started to deny that, but then I’d be lying. Maybe he’s just contributing to your conversation!
K – Didja read the post about how he saved my life? http://cindy.ocliw.com/?p=997
…well, that IS mighty impressive, he he
I’ll give Dodo a point there. I’m all about pets (dogs and Dodo) that can save their owners, or at least try!
oh and I gave Dodo a ‘shout out’ on the post…
Thanks, I’ll let Dodo know.
the Animal Diaries is a great post! I KNEW that cats were up to something!!! I figured that out when my old roommie’s cat would jump off the couch righ as I walked by, just to scare the jeebies out of me!!! yeah – I wrote jeebies..:)
