Katy Did What?

July 18, 2017 By: Summer Samba45 Comments

somali cat with plastic container containing Katy did

My human found someone in the enclosed patio and thought I would like to be friends with her. Her first name is Katy and her last name is Did. I think that is a very strange name! But when my human brought me out to meet her, I was not that impressed! So she put Katy into a plastic container and took the both of us outside so we could get to know each other better.

I tried to say hello, but I think she was ignoring me. My human thought we might have a better meeting if she uncovered the container.

Katy still didn’t pay much attention to me. I was starting to get a complex.

I offered to shake hands, but she refused.

Next, I tried touching noses with Katy. That’s how we kitties greet each other. I thought maybe it would work with her.

Well, it didn’t work! She jumped really hard and kicked my face! Somebody needs to teach her some manners.

Finally my human shook her out of the container, and she just stood there like a diva.

I decided to give her one last chance to make friends, and you know what she did?

She flew off!

Can you see where she landed? My human took a closer photo too.

Right after my human took this photo, she flew away. Maybe to throw shade on another kitty.

In case you wanted to see a really close-up photo of Katy, my human took one while I was still trying to get to know her. If you know anything about these critters, you will be able to see that she is definitely a female.

    You’re so lucky you get to explore cool things and make friends like Katy. Our mom would just freak out and yell for her boyfriend to do something with it. She’s no fun.

    Hmm… that was rude of Katy Did to fly off just like that! I think a good bat with the paw & a crunch with your teeth will take care of her for good. Just careful ’cause her legs might be a bit scratchy going down the throat, but otherwise probably a tasty treat!

    Bugs are quite rude by nature – and terribly anti-social. We always try to make friends if one is in our apartment but it never seems to go very well. Oh well.

    Purrz!

    That Katy Did, was very lucky it was you Summer trying to make friends with her. We would have had a good chase with that one. But a nice meeting for you even though Katy Did was rude to you.

    Oh no she didn’t! I wonder what the kitties here would do if they met Katie. I think you were amazingly polite, Summer. She probably doesn’t realize how lucky she is!

    You were very patient with that critter. We might not have been so delicate as you. Everything is a play toy for us. And that Katy Did creature was very rude indeed. How in the world did you know it was a “she”? Your mom is impressive! Great job with the catch and release. Besides, you have Binga to play with, MOL. Purrs

    I will tell you what! Tell Katy Did as she leaves— that you are sending a note to the Katy Did Leader and refusing future visits and contacts until there are some lessons in proper decorum when visiting other domains…such as yours!

    Aw, so sorry you didn’t get to taste.. I mean, get to make a friend! Maybe next time! (I’d make a comment about your mom serving you a covered dish for lunch, but since she seemed to want you to be friends, maybe that’s in poor taste. Then again, maybe you didn’t have lunch because Katy was poor taste! ok ok, sorry, cant help myself!)
