Before giving the cats their morning
treats Meugh announced to them, “Ah me wee cats I have something to say to you
before you get your morning goodies and I want you to pay close attention as it
is very important.”
The cats all gathered at Meugh’s chair
and peered at him giving the indication that they were seemingly paying
attention.
Meugh continued, “Lamont, Pawline and
Patchtricia, you are not to bite me or scratch me or by any other manner draw
blood upon my person for the next week.”
Lamont, Pawl, and Patch, watched him
very intently seemingly hanging on every word that their human servant said,
much to Meugh’s delight.
“You see my fine felines,” Meugh
lectured. Next Tuesday I am going to a hospital to have a large kidney stone
removed surgically. Since I am the hospital, a place known to have sick people
in it, and therefore laden with all types of germs, bacteria and various other
microorganisms that can do bodily harm it is important that I have no gaping
wounds, scratches or bites upon my person. Is that clear?”
Patch with her typical expression of
questioning then asked, via telepathy obviously, “What is a pital?”
“Huh.” Meugh said a bit dumbfounded.
“Pital?”
“Yes, pital,” Patch messaged, “I know
perfectly well what a house is, we live in one of those.” Gazing at an
obviously confused Meugh she continued. “You said you were going to a
housepital, so I ask again, what is a pital.”
Meugh just sat there in his chair
looking confused. So, all three cats put their psychic brains together and
verily shouted into Meugh’s cranium, “Treats. Give us treats. Give us treats
now!”
At this point Meugh reached over and
began handing out the treats to Patch, Lamont, and Paw. After they had their
treats, then Lamont crawled up into Meugh’s lap and bit him and then jumped
down to the floor and left laughing a sneaky little cat laugh. Paw and Patch
laughed too, they thought that was very funny.
Meugh heard a meowing voice in his head
that said, “Bite me!”
