Bathsheba's Thursday Thirteen
13 Reasons Why Mom Thinks I'm Losing a Step
- I don't like to go outside much any more. I used to practically LIVE outside when the weather was warm.
- When I do go outside, I've usually had enough in five minutes and want to go back in right away.
- I can't jump up directly to the bathroom sink for my water unless I jump on the toilet seat as a first step.
- I take a long time to eat my meals, and I usually leave some crunchies behind. (I'm trying to save some for later, but that brat Jake likes to gobble everything up.)
- I sleep a lot. (HELLO, I'm a CAT.)
- I have to have pawdicures by Mom now, but when I used to go outside more, I was self-manicuring.
- I don't always hear Mom coming. Just yesterday, she cost me one of my nine lives when she sneaked up on me and touched me. I nearly jumped out of my fur! She claims she didn't sneak up on me, but whom do YOU believe?
- When Mom tries to give me a piece of cheese, I don't always see it.
- I don't play "fetch" anymore. (That was too dog-like, anyway.)
- I get underfoot more.
- I don't even bother to beg when Mom and Dad eat dinner. I just sleep on my kitchen chair in the corner.
- I don't cooperate for blog photos. I guess that's why Jake has been such a blog hog--that little poseur.
- Hey, I'm almost 16 and a member of the Sweet Sixteens. Give me a break.

Bathsheba, you are losing a step, you're getting smarter! Mommy thought I was losing a step too so she started doing things like lifting me up to my food bowl so I didn't have to jump and stuff. I realized it's easier to let Mommy do stuff for me.
well, you sound like a dignified ladycat to us. none of that silly immature nonsense. you're acting like the Queen and Ruler of the House that you are!
Bathsheba, I don't think you are losing a step. I just think you are older and wiser now. It is much nice inside, in my opinion. I mean, I like to go out on my harness or in my stroller, but I wouldn't want to be out there alone!
You're just smart! Life is much more relaxing being inside and sleeping a lot. And hey, you know they'll give you the foods anyway. Keep up the good work!

Bathsheba, you are a sophisticated and dignified ladycat!
My Mommie had an older cat (his name was Cricket), and he couldn't jump too well because he got arthritis, so she got a special cat-ramp so he could get up on the bed, and climb down without jarring his joints.
Wowie, you sound like a sensible and elegant grown up ladykitty. And you look so serene all curled up in your chair.
Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao!
Momma likes that picture of you with your paws all crossed. You look very elegant.
Love,
