Oscar, the Defender!

Thrusting and poking and swatting and parrying; sweat pouring down my brow, the invader battled relentlessly but I would never give up as long as "Fancy Feast Carved Beef" coursed through my body!  

Another swat, another prodding with my deadly claws and it writhed on the tiles at my feet, bested but not dead yet.  This brown enemy flailed its hairy legs at me as if to offer surrender, but I was ruthless patting it hard this time, my claws digging into the air around it, my tail flicking to punctuate my determination!

And then in She walked, trying to see what I was up to and when She saw it, it was as if She was afraid it would hurt ME.  

ME, the mighty Defender Cat who gave no mercy when confronted by an enemy!  

She gently moved me away from my prisoner to a safe distance and looked at it with that “yukky horror” look that humans get; picked up the plastic bottle of her fragrant, coconut shower gel and squashed the stuffings out of this flying menace, muttering something about how keeping the windows open without screens was the worst idea ever!

Torture Interrupted

I was offended that she didn't let me torture my prisoner more, but her care of me seemed to drive her to take counter measures to her typical spraying of tons of bug spray.  

She just knew I have sensitive allergies and would be put out with such un-environmentally-friendly ways of handling such a crisis! 

Anyway, just so you never imagine I let this creature endanger her, I defended her to within an inch of one of my nine lives.  ((Well a kitty can dream can’t he?))

PS:  I also managed to let her sleep just a little more last night, but was SOOOOO excited by my victory last night that I had to celebrate with gusto starting at about 4:10 AM.  You should have seen her squirm!

Otherwise, it's been a remarkably easy and leisurely day with her going out to have a Christmas lunch with a friend at the Queen Victoria Building and getting her cell phone fixed (she needs to be at my beck and call...but then I don't have a cell phone with me, because you forgot to pack mine!)

Hope it is snowing and that you are slipping and sliding around in all that slushy stuff and that you will throw a few snowballs at each other in the name of the mighty DEFENDER CAT!!
