10/27/2023 – For the Love of Cheese

When Dad told Mom he had a sit-down talk with Tessa and asked her some hard questions, Mom may not have been paying close attention, and for good reason. Really, does this cat ever listen to anything said to her? Tessa’s always done whatever she wants, whenever she wants (within reason), and to whomever she wants. That’s just the trouble-seeking Tessa we’ve come to know and love.

Dad asked how she was doing lately. Tessa had no response.

Dad asked why she was intent to leap onto countertops and in particular, the off-limits buffet (boo-fay) when she knew she’d get yelled at for it. Again, Tessa had no response.

Dad asked why she intentionally smacked her brother Quint the other day, nearly scratching his eye, and she just stared at Dad like he was speaking dog.

Then, Dad told her he was disappointed in her for doing that.

That got a response.

Then again, it could have been the cheese snack he had in his hand, for she then reached out a soft paw toward him and pawed the air. Or maybe she was just trying to snag the cheese. You be the judge.
