Cleo Goes Airborne
Oops! Surprise! Surprise!
Before I retired, every morning my cat, Cleo, and I enjoyed a little ritual together.
When I got ready for work, I made sure the toilet lid was down, because Cleo loved to sit there and watch me put on my makeup. Every morning, without fail, we carried out this little ritual.
(You know where this is going, don’t you?)
One morning for some reason, the lid was up. Maybe I was on the phone, I don’t know. What I do know is, the lid was not down when Cleo did her jump.
( S P L A S H )
Cats are fast, but I never knew a cat to move THAT fast!
Cleo hit the water and shot straight up in the air, hitting the ground again in the time it took me to blink.
She looked up, saw me staring, shook herself, then turned and walked away. Only the tip of her tail jerking left and right gave life to her embarrassment.
She was calm, head held high and strutting in the opposite direction, as if to say …
“I meant to do that.”
Love your story! I love kitties but my kitties have either died or moved out with my son and girlfriend! But someday I hope to have a kitty or two!
