the kitten chronicles - part 186

If it were up to Rooney he'd happily be an "only" cat. He figures it would be nice to get 100% of the attention. Not Rufus. He is helpful in finding his brother when the black and white fur-brain gets himself trapped somewhere. Rufus will stand outside the spot where his brother is and meow an alert to help the Big Cat track the errant brother down. Vice versa, not so much? This morning Rufus was nowhere to be found as I was heading out the door. For some reason I thought he had climbed up into the drop ceiling in the basement again. I swear I could hear noises coming from up there - but when I called, no answer. So I questioned his brother who was no help at all- he just lay down on the floor in response to my inquiries trying to get his stomach rubbed. What other cat are you referring to, Big Cat? I know of no other cat... Well, thanks a lot for all the help, mister! Finally, I found Rufus trapped in the front closet and Rooney was crushed he hadn't been able to attain lone cat in the Casa Big Cat status. He sulked off to climb into the basement sink and catch drips. So close, he thought, so close. xxx dad
