Meanwhile, These Two Buttheads
Posted on January 7, 2023 Posted by John Scalzi 10 Comments
Smudge and Charlie were playing around this morning, and at one point, Charlie was playing in a manner I thought was maybe a little too rough, so I told her to back off. She came up to me to apologize, at which point Smudge launched an unprovoked attack on her butt. So I said to Charlie, “You know what, forget what I said, go eat the cat.” Charlie then gleefully rejoined the fight against the surprise-butt-attacking feline.

Love the pic. Real “sibling spat” interrupted by parent vibe.
Ahhh…scamperbeasts…
I laughed so hard. Thanks for the levity, I really needed it this morning.
Go on with your bad self, Smudge!
The ancient struggle between our pet predators continues!
This is the best laugh I’ve had all week. Hug the butt-heads for me.
there’s your next epic trilogy…
a well-intentioned nerd uplifts cats and dog and parrots to full sentience but they get into a three-way, low grade conflict over who gets first choice on cuddling ‘n grooming by humans…
of course the parrots have airborne superiority… right up to the following week when the cats figure out how to launch hang gliders off the garage roof…
Nothing really to say, except like the others, I laughed and laughed. That’s a great little view into your world.
Oh, Smudge – never change.
Our cats like to wrestle but the dog generally wanted no part of it. I did get a kick out of one time she was feeling ornery and chased a cat down the hall, only to come flying back into the living room with both cats hot on her tail. Real Han Solo energy.
