When I tell Cairo to ‘get down’ off my counters, he mostly just ignores me. If he does react, it’s to look at me like, ‘What is your problem, lady?’
This is the reality of owning a cat: You will buy him a soft, cushy cat bed. And a 6-foot-tall kitty condo. And various other comfy places to rest his head, exhausted from knocking things off the shelves all day. And the cat will sleep on a folded towel on the breakfast bar.
I also spent $29.95 to buy Cairo a sort of fabric tunnel that’s supposed to be fun for cats. Um, no. People told me, “Oh, put cat treats in it. Then he’ll start using it.” Um, no. He did eventually go in to get the treats, then he was out of there like greased lightning. Now, here’s the thing: After two months, Cairo is starting to settle down and decide that he likes living here, and no one’s going to hurt him
Meanwhile, I only have one goal: Keep this stupid cat off my kitchen counters. My friend and former colleague Frank Mickadeit — the columnist — wrote a book many years ago called “Cats on the Counters” or how to curb your pet’s unwelcome habits. I need to dig it out and read it again.
