the kitten chronicles - part 136

If you were Rufus you would have a tough job. Rufus is the alpha male of the two fur faces - odd because his brother is the bigger of the two. Which makes his job more difficult. He must keep his deranged brother in line. His brother is Mr. Sneak Attack. Forever waiting, whiskers twitching madly just around the corner when you're entering the room. He lives to be ready to pounce. This is
a burden on his peace-loving brother. But justice must be meted out and no ambush can go un-repayed or it would upset the natural balance at Casa Big Cat. This calls for many wrestling matches on the top of the stairs where both cats holding each other in a death grip tumble helplessly down the staircase and land splat on the hardwood floor. This breaks the hammerlock and the chase starts again. Frankly, Rufus looks worn out from all of this. He'd vastly prefer to be semi-watching Ice Road Truckers from the comfort of my lap. "Big Cat, why don't the truckers wait until Spring when the ice has melted?" Wow, even a cat can figure out the plot in that reality show is pretty dim. But of course, the answer is - there's a job to be done. For the Ice Road Truckers and for the Uber cat in the house. If Rooney ever gets the idea he could wrest the mantle of control from his brother we're all in very serious trouble.
