What are you looking at?
Posted on July 5, 2007 - Filed Under Cats
Being winter on this side of the world it has been a little cooler lately. I love the cooler weather, it makes my health problems seem less troublesome where as the heat definitely exacerbates them. It has to be almost arctic conditions though before you will find me wearing a jumper/sweater/pullover/jacket…whatever you call them where you come from. A few days ago such conditions arrived. The day time temperature failed to reach 12 degrees, it is usually closer to 20 degrees, and westerly winds were blowing strong enough to blow the bird poo off a statue.
I grabbed a jacket, coat thingo (you know what I mean) from the back of my wardrobe and slung it on before braving the elements.
Later that day Hubby and I were sitting outside the doctor’s rooms awaiting our appointment (seems we do this a lot lately), when I could feel the eyes of the lady sitting opposite giving me the once over. I looked back and gave her my most charming smile but to my amazement she tuttered (is there such a word or did I just make it up?) at me, shook her head (in disgust?) and then crossed her legs, seemingly trying to position herself as far away from me as possible.
I dug Hubby in the ribs and asked, “Well what was that about?”
He started grinning and then leaned over to start brushing lots of white animal fur from my dark jacket, coat thingy.
So she was offended by my abundance of fur? Sad old woman..I wonder what she would make of my house if she saw it ..my coat has nothing on it.
I brushed Hubby’s hand away and told him, ” Stop brushing ..just leave it, don’t you know that no outfit is complete without the latest cat hair accessory?” Of course this cracked the pair of us up and we were soon laughing way too loud for a doctor’s waiting room.
Strangely enough the old lady didn’t seem to see the funny side of it at all.
Come on…I mean what is the world coming too if we can’t share a little cat hair around?
If I was her cat, I think I would run away.
What a GRUMPY OLD SOUR PUSS!

I was drinking a soda while reading this, and ended up spitting it out from laughing! If you knew how many times I went out in suits covered with dog hair, it would make my mother gasp in shame. I say if they can’t look past a little cat hair, they aren’t worth it…
Maybe she disapproved of your “fur” coat
What a stupid old woman! Gees, people go around un-washed and wearing grubby clothes (even pyjamas in supermarkets here in Dundee!) so surely cat hair hardly matters! I swear i’ll be a mad old cat lady one day (big hairy cat smelling cardy to go with me) and I’ll give old wifies like this as good as I get!
I don’t think I own anything to wear that isn’t complete with at least a decent helping of Mojo or Rosie….hell they are my babies, their fur gets everywhere and if I can deal with it, so can everyone else really.
Stupid rude woman…
I’d feel like sticking out my tongue,or crossing my eyes just to get her going..lol
