A dark presence appears on the arm of the glide rocker. I am aware of danger.
OK! It’s only Andrew. What!? What!? What!? He’s giving me the “Stinging Kitty Glare of Destruction of Human Will and Making Doug Do Andy’s Bidding”! Only kitty stink eye is more potent.
I hold out. Oh! The pain! The pain! Resisting kitty cat will is exhausting, but Andy realizes he needs to lighten up his attack lest he harm me. “Meow!”
Hee! Hee! I break Andy’s stare by attracting his attention to the reflection of the kitty (!) on the smartphone face. I am safe – briefly – from this irresistible kitty force.
I have control again!
Or do I???
Déjà vu. Trapped again.
“YES-YES-YES!” “No! No! Nooo!” (I feel my free will draining away.)
“OK, Andy. I give up. It’s Greenies treats for you, my fuzzy master!” It’s New Year’s Eve. I’ve made a resolution not to let Andy bully me into doing his will in 2021!
He’s pretty irresistible. You may need to seek professional help. 😁 And thanks for swinging by the “Ranch” and for the follow. We 💖 visitors, especially feline fur-iends.
No humans were harmed making this post… LOL!
🤣
Andy used the Jedi kitty mind trick. Tee hee hee. Wishing you both a Happy Mew Year!
Thanks! Same to you and yours! (Yes, Andy have that down pat.)
Yeah. Good Luck With That.
I gave in, of course! “Kitten eyes:” you know.
I enjoyed the standoff, Doug. Your timing was spot on, it reminded me of our late great cat Loqui. She would stand near the pantry, not uttering a single meow but staring at you until the treat was relinquished. Loqui always won the standoffs 🙂
I believe it! LOL!
Best of luck with that resolution! I think Andy has got you. Next year try again!
Andy usually wins….
Cute post. 🙂
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Michel!
We see you like through a window looking at us . Thanks for this funny post for the New Year eve .
I like the dialogue you created along with the photos.
Happy New Year, Doug . I wish the best for you
In friendship
Michel
Didn’t you make a similar resolution last year ?
Maybe!
Thanks, John. Best wishes for you, too!
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.” – T.S. Eliot
Wishing every day of the new year to be filled with success, happiness, and prosperity for you. Happy New Year.
Same to you!
Ahahahaha just adorable! Happy New Year!
He is tenacious!
Happy New Year to you, too1
The cats usually win these battles!
Lucio cat was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He is on methimazole now, and the vet will check his blood in a month to see how he is doing on it. Hopefully that is that last insult from 2020.
I hope so, too. It has been a worrisome and tedious year for us all.
Oh very cute. I am treated the same from 4 cats!!
No wonder you are anonymous! Cats know when we are treasonous….
I love his little face! I wish good things for you two and your family in 2021, Doug. 👍🏻😻
Likewise for you, John!
Good luck in 2021. I think Andy will win.
He will, I know, Peggy! Best wishes for 2021.
That was a good set of photo’s Doug, cheers, mate.
It’s a trick since I have to somehow hold the smartphone, click the photo, and keep from knocking (or frightening) Andy off the chair arm. Oh yeah. And having any of the photos in focus. LOL! Anyway, thanks, Gerry!
Thought you did a grand job, mate.
Cats don’t have owners, they have servants 😃 ; I know this only too well.
Absolutely! Andy and his late brother trained me well.
It is hard to resist to a cat with so beautiful eyes . I ike also your expression, Doug: “Do I resist or do I go away ?” 🙂
In friendship
Michel
LOL! I believe it was inevitable that Andy would get his Greenies treats!
Hey, when did you cut down your beard?
A couple weeks ago. I finally gave in. I went longer than usual because of COVID-19, then it became obvious I’d have to get it cut because there was no end to the virus.
cats were gods once and they still stick with that ritual… what can we do apart from opening the treat bag? Happy New years eve to youuuuu
And to you and the pups, too! Yes, being the one with the opposable thumbs makes us useful when it comes to the Greenies containers and kitty (and dog) food cans!
