Messing with the cat is so easy

[eliyes]

I came home from work chewing a piece of gum, because it helps me not to throw up. (Go figure. Also: I'm sick -- there's something going around, and it started when the flu shots did. Coincidence?)

So, I'm chewing gum, and Soci jumps up on my lap and sticks his ear in my mouth. Shockingly, this did not result in gum stuck to cat, mostly because the gum was on the opposite side of my mouth. So I playfully fake-gnaw on his ear (which he loves), and then jerk my head away and chew my gum obnoxiously loud.

He jumps off my lap, and I tell him, "I bit off part of your ear."

He gave me an incredibly astonished look, then eeled past my legs to leave -- and I reached down and pinched the ear in question.

"I put it back," I told him, and stroked his ears to show they were the same.

Cue composure grooming. XD

Cats are easier to mess with than children. <3

Children know what mirrors do, for the most part. ;3

His astonished face was so funny. X3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaadorable!
You and your kitty.
XDDD

(And...yeah, I find that swallowing stops me from being sick, when I really really do not want to be sick. Although, I tend to sip water, rather than chew gum, but same basic principle, I guess?)

Well, I was sipping water all night, but for the ride home on the bus, that wasn't workable, so gum it was.

The gum thing worked again today after I did have a bout of emesis. Freshened my breath, too; brushing just doesn't get the taste out of my throat. :/
