I sincerely hope World War III isn’t around the corner because I’m going to look pretty silly standing on the front line waving a bag of catnip.
.
.
Unless I’m facing a feline army. Then? I’m going to cut years off the conflict and save thousands of lives.
.
.
You never know when Lord Dudley Mountcatten will feel like playing. One minute he’s sound asleep on the couch while you’re watching Ken Burns’ documentary on Ernest Hemingway. The next?
.
.
He’s nutty as a fruitcake and flinging his toys across the room.
.
.
Maybe it was all the talk of Hemingway’s romantic entanglements that got him frisky. Ernest did love the ladies…
.
.
Don’t groan, I know you enjoy these… even if you don’t want to admit it.
.
.
I’ll get things rolling….
My rap name is LIL Cellulite Cream. Making slightly pudgy menopausal women over 50 shake their groove thing like they did before their thighs resembled cottage cheese.
.
.
And before you store a disturbing mental image of my marbled thighs, summer is coming and the lotion I bought is more of a tightener. I’m not cheesy, just jiggly.
.
.
.
Ready?
Let’s play!
.
.
And for the sake of equality, let’s add ‘or penis’ to the instructions.
.
.
Yes, I’m afraid we are. Here, I’ll go first.
The name of my vagina is…. Homeland.
Which you have to admit is pretty damn spectacular.
.
.
Because he’s simply too photogenic not to share.
.
.
Dudley likes to play with balls, and basically any round thing that rolls.
.
.
Including raspberries his human drops on the floor.
.
.
He also likes to stretch….
.
.
And then runs out of energy before getting back in his original position. He sleeps like this all the time.
.
.
While his takeover of the house is pretty much complete, from the look of this photo…. I fear the television might be next.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves to play.
.
.
Which is why we have an entire drawer dedicated to cat toys.
.
.
He loves his toys long and hard … and his favorite mouse is looking a little worse for wear these days.
.
.
But then so am I, so I shouldn’t judge.
His favorite new thing to do is carry a ball to a spot under the coffee table….
.
.
And then wind himself around a leg.
.
.
He goes around and around in a circle and it’s quite comical to watch.
.
.
Until I took a closer look and realized most of the coffee table legs now look like this…
.
.
Sigh.
.
.
So the free pool table… the one that has cost us approximately $14,000 ( and counting ) in storage barn to man cave renovations… actually saw some action last weekend.
.
.
Two of the husband’s coworkers came by for the afternoon (no worries, all 3 men are fully vaccinated) for Cajun gumbo, beer and pool. I don’t play, so I know my other half was happy. And me? I was happy because I received another bar christening gift.
.
.
I’d never even heard of this whiskey but it turned out to have a pleasing toasted undertone.
.
.
After two games of pool, it was determined the table needed to go from horizontal placement to vertical to allow more shooting space.
.
.
Which then required multiple leveling maneuvers. Turns out the barn floor is not at all level. Shocking, I know.
.
.
Play continued into the night, as did the whiskey drinking and strange reflections from the overhead lighting.
A good time was had by all… and let me tell you, it was nice to host even two people after a year of no socializing with friends.
😊
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a constant source of entertainment.
.
.
And not just a little bit goofy.
.
.
But who can blame him? When you have a fun toy permanently attached to your ass, you have to make the most of it….
.
.
He’s a weirdo.
.
.
But a lovable weirdo.
.
.
.
Yes, this might be a thing for a while.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has discovered my computer… and in typical cat fashion must get in between me and it whenever I attempt usage.
.
.
And as you can see by his level of relaxation….
.
.
He has finally decided we are fit to live with and worthy enough to wait on him hand and foot.
.
.
His highness is not overly thrilled with being picked up and cuddled…
.
.
But realizes the daily allotment of weed is dependent upon keeping the humans amused.
.
.
Why is it every time you try to video a cat playing with toys they stop dead and stare at you?
.
.
.
My weekly skunking of the husband at Scrabble in the Barn Mahal continues. And now? Even the tiles are getting in on the fun…
.
.
Yes, those were really the letters I drew. And it’s pretty much what I did to the husband in game number one.
Not to be out done, our second game’s tiles had their say as well.
.
.
My last four letters said it all.
Sorry, dear. I only do what the tiles tell me…
.
River's world.....
