How to Lose a Cat in Ten Days...


Today during sharing:


Jack: “Guess what? We have a spray cat!”

Me: “Um, do you mean a STRAY cat?”

“No! It’s a SPRAY cat. SPRAY. We found it. And guess who it belongs to? The barking dogs behind our HOUSE! The ones that keep us up ALL NIGHT LONG!”



Hm. I think we’ve discovered why he’s a spray.

Don't forget to get your pets sprayed and hootered.

That is too funny. We just Got a puppy (that hasn't barked yet) and our 3 cats are petrified (without warrant). I can see why that cat would spray.

Did the cat come with its own garden hose? If so, I have some dogs next door that need taken care of.

Yeah, I'm back in the saddle again, too.
Dead tired.
7th graders are still just as exhausting as your kindergarteners, I do believe.

cats are what cynical people are reincarnated to come back as... I'm destined to becoming a 'spray' myself.

I sometimes hang out on the neighbor's porch and wait for her to feed me. It's the kids that bark at my place.

I thought a "spray cat" was a skunk.

As long as he "sprays" or neuters it, no worries.

Michele said...

I wonder if SPRAY cats are anything like FREE cats. Free but not really so much free.

Everyday Goddess said...

SkylersDad said...

I think it's a stray that has been spayed.

Boozy Tooth said...

Spray! I get it!

Why was I thinking "spay?"

Sigh. Dumb me as usual.

Ohhh phewwww.. I was waiting for him to tell you that they took his boy parts away. Then you would have some splaining to do because you know that they were not all going to let that one go! :o)
Welcome back to work

Did the dogs stop barking?

Little Ms Blogger said...

We don't have the same neighbors do we?

I have a Spray cat in my yard that belongs to the neighbors behind me. They run an illegal kennel and let the barking/howling dogs out several times/day and it is funny when they are all singing in harmony.

In addition to the dogs, they have a goose and rooster and this Spray cat of theirs pees in my flower bed.
