One Eye Open

(double post alert!)

I’m babysitting for one of my favorite families right now, and they have recently gotten a cat. His name is Peter, and so far, he hasn’t caused any issues with my alleged (hopeful) cat allergy.

Earlier, I asked the 4-year-old where Peter sleeps, and she looked me dead in the eyes, 100% serious, and replied, “He doesn’t sleep.”

Just when I thought I couldn’t be more scared of Peter, I had to put the kids to bed, and now Peter and I are playing a nice game of Cat and Mouse around the open floor plan dining room/living room/kitchen.

Hint: I’m the mouse.

P.S.- One Eye Open… as in, one is concentrated on the work I’m doing right now, and one is watching Peter. Also as in…. one might be swollen/crusted shut when I wake up tomorrow.

    You need a squirt bottle. Best cat defense.

      Best part is- 4-year-old was telling me about a blue squirt bottle under the sink…. Obviously, after she went to bed, I looked. Only squirt bottles I could find had chemicals in them, which I would have no problem using, except then the parents might become suspicious when they came home and their cat smelled like Lysol…
