Ha Ha, Suzy!

 

It's very hard to get Suzy to sit for photo!

            As you know, Suzy took a rather ambivalent attitude towards Booker and Sweetie. She did not run to them with licks, purrs, or open arms, so to speak, when they first came into her world. If anything, she wasn’t sure what they were, apparently.
            So, anyhow, I was supposed to be asleep yesterday, but I wasn’t. I was silently watching because there had been some noise in the area. And what I saw was Suzy playing with one of the kittens. I’m not sure which one because he was behind the door. He kept sticking his paw out from under the door or around its out edge. I saw Suzy swatting at it in a playful, friendly manner.
            Later, when she strolled by my desk, I said, “You don’t fool me, Suzy. I saw you!”
            “Hm?” she said. “Saw me what?”
            “You were playing with one of the kittens!” I said. “Behind the door!”
            “Oh, was that a kitten?” she said, evasively.
            “The only thing around here with furry paws, beside you or Mr. Baby is a kitten!” I crowed.
            “Oh, p’shaw. Pfft! I thought it was a snake,” said Suzy, continuing her stroll.
            “That’s really nice, Suzy! I’m glad to see you warming up to them,” I said.
            “I don’t know what came over me. All of a sudden I just felt like playing!” she said. As she walked off, tail high, she seemed a bit surprised at herself.
            It seems as if she has fallen right into her natural role as a lady cat!
