Wednesday was an interesting day here at Chez-Ranger. I was home sick from school (enjoying myself immensely, aside from the sick part) and reclining on the couch. The blinds were up and the sun was shining. Thus the stage was set for a really impressive battle of passive-aggression: Battle for the SunPuddle, Part Two. Ivy came in, sniffed around and realized that she could take possession of one ofthe most treasured spots in the house:
Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine...
In the nice sunlight, you can really see her arm-dreads, left intact by our vet 'cause little old Ivy turned into a Fierce Creature (tm) when the vet tried to shave 'em:
Anyways...Ivy stayed for a bit then wandered off and Maddie came in:
Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine...
Maddie wandered off...
Ivy wandered off...
And so on. The really interesting thing was that Ivy eventually won this little contest hands-down. Not by intimidation or violence, but by changing the arena:
Ahhh! Must activate Laser-Vision!!!
I win! Go me! I win! Go me! <insert little happy humming noises>
Maddie fans, never fear. Your girl eventually reclaimed the bed and settled in for a long, happy, well-deserved snooze, undisturbed by paparazzi.
We hope your fur grows back soon!

Ivy, we are sorry but with your new lion cut, you just don't really live up to your Fierce Creature(tm) image! You look tiny & sweet!
This must be quite the interesting tug-o-war and what a privilege to witness it! Now aren't you glad yo were sick?!

Those arm dreads are a great "twist" on the ever-popular lion cut! I’d like to tell you that I’ve written a scathingly funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, which will be out in May. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com.
