Sexy Pig


I would like to add this to the Hall of Fame of Unusual Gifts. It sings a song and if you pull its tail, it
squeals. Gomez hates it and beats up on it mercilessly. The pig is only slightly smaller than the cat, nonetheless, he carries it around the house by the ear or the scruff of its neck. The other day I approached the slightly ajar basement door as I heard a bumping sound. I stopped, trying to figure out what it was, and at that moment out came the pig, snout first, pushed by Gomez on his way to taking it upstairs. I later found it sitting, or more accurately, standing at the top of the stairs pointed towards Sophie's room. That was a tiny bit creepy, actually.

Notice my awesome tile job???

This is an interesting phenomenon I have observed in my own psychocat: every night she very deliberately picks up a toy and walks to the kitchen where she places it in her water dish. Adam and I have even come up with a theory: you know how barn cats leave vermin at the farmer's door to prove their worthiness? We think that indoor cats do this too, only they have no actual vermin (luckily). So perhaps Gomez is repeatedly risking life and limb in his little pea brain to protect you from the threat of "Sexy Pig" and placing it where he knows you will be able to see how brave he was. Or he's just insane. Either way, the tile job looks great!
