Couch Wars

One of my cats has decided she has to sit under the blanket that covers the back of the couch. This is pretty counter productive because the blanket is there to keep the cat from puking on the couch or clawing it to death. She's old though, so we're letting her do it.

By 'we' I mean my roommate and I. Her sister doesn't really agree she should be allowed to sit under blankets and is trying everything she can to keep her from doing it. Why? I really have no idea. Maybe it's because she can't stand it when her sister is doing something and she's not. Maybe it's because she seeks her sister's attention. Maybe it's because she doesn't like lumps that move around. It could actually be all of these or just the simple fact that she's a cat.

Whatever the case, when her sister is under the blanket, she'll go over to it and bother her. She'll either sit on top of her sister or lean next to her. Usually she'll fall asleep, but sometimes she'll just stubbornly stand there, doing her best to make her sister uncomfortable.

For a while, the kitty under the blanket tried to ignore her. There is only so much ignoring one can do.  Now whenever her sister gets up there, she'll bide her time for her sister to get comfortable, and then she'll launch up really quickly and try to knock her off the couch. It becomes this odd, and very entertaining little war.

The thing about any kind of cat situation is that it never lasts. Cats are fickle. They usually only stay in one area for a while. The couch war won't last for long. However, I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can.
