Miss Prissy Has An Identity Crisis

My cat had a bad day today. Maybe not a bad day,
but at least a challenging one.


For those of you who haven't been introduced,
this is Miss Prissy.

She's my cat. She was my Dad's cat, now she's mine. She went from living in a cage in a shelter, to thinking she owns a place! That would be my place. ahem. She had an interesting day today.

It started out when I went up to the store to get a newspaper. I get back home, get out of the car, and here comes Miss Priss trotting down the street towards the House. I had to snap a picture!

You see that behind her, by the street sign? That's the neighbor's dog! And he's not chasing her. In fact, he started walking behind her, and she would stop and look back, and he would stop. He would kind of cock his head sideways and raise his ears. They have a relationship, and it's not adversarial! They seem to be buddies, at the least! :)

When she got back inside the House, it was obvious MP was... conflicted. I'm not against cross species relationships, I try to keep an open mind. But I made the mistake of asking questions, and I could quickly tell my inquiries were not welcomed!

So I dropped it. Later in the day, I decided to hang this large mirror on a wall. It's like three feet by four feet. It makes a room feel bigger. I hung it on the wall next to the bed. A few moments later, MP is sitting on the bed, meowing like crazy! I shrugged it off and continued making dinner.

Next thing I know, she's up on two paws, trying to get inside the mirror! :) She had never spent time with a mirror before. Freaked her out! I wish I had gotten a pic of that! She ran away and curled up into a little ball for a while. But she's starting to get over it.

Between her relationship with Fido, and the mirror incident, MP had a rough day. But when all is said and done, late at night, she's still out in the hood, being a prowlin' cool cat!
