Spaz "Little Old Lady" cat

Some day long ago - April 22, 2011

---

These are a few shots I took of her in the last month or so. Despite her failing health and less than mobile status, she has been a wonderful presence in our lives. The may have been cantankerous and bitchy and loud, but that's how she lived.

I only had the blessing of her presence in my home for the last year, but before that I had known her for many more. Like many women, she has been professing to be the same age for many years. Real ladies don't tell. She eventually relaxed enough to tolerate the kittens, I would say warmed up to them, but that's a bit of a stretch.

With her overly affectionate head bonks, self-righteous screaming, and queenly manner, Spaz has been a delight. She will be sorely missed.

Whaaaaaat?

I made it up here on my own power. So what? BIG effin' deal.

What? High?

I'm not high man, I just really, really, really LOVE this hand. Got any Cheetos?

What? Warp-speed?

Purring so much we've reached warp-speed you say? Is there food in hyperspace?

What? Bed?

So not peeing on the floor all day means I can sleep in the bed with you again?

Let's see if I can do that at night too, with this mighty case of hiccups I have.

What? Personal space?

Never heard of it.

What? No party?

But I'm wearing my best boa and everything. You always ruin my Friday nights like this.

What? Sleep?

Not while I have to keep watch for little monsters. I'm doing this for your own good, human. Trust me.

What? Are you insane?

You brought what into my house?

What...what the hell are those?

You...

What? Sleep unhindered?

Nope, this is my arm now.

What? Already Occupied?

And your point is? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn that you're already in the chair. I want in on this delicious swath of warm fuzzy sunlight and there ain't nothing you can do to stop me.

Am I right? Eh?

What? Sun? Again?

No comment from the lady, she's passed out. Fer' reals, she loves this couch!

What? Making the bed?

And I'm not allowed up there? The duck says no? This is ridiculous!

...at least you made me steps to get there. Sometimes.

What? Get up?

No thank you, Ducky and I will be sleeping in.

What? A sunny spot in the best couch ever?

I'm in.
