Had dinner with my friend and her cat-master Smithers again tonight. Boy o boy that cat remembered how quickly I learned last time and took full advantage tonight. We didn't need 3 chairs tonight, oh no, Smithers just hopped up in my lap for tonight's meal. We were having tacos and well..........you know how you eat a taco? Kind of cock your head to the side and bite at one end? Well that of course leaves the other end exposed. Guess who helped herself to my exposed end? Smithers pulled a big old chunk of chicken right out of my tortilla!!!! Then she plopped it on my thigh and proceeded to eat it! Sheesh.

What did I do you ask? Nothing. Nothing at all. My friend of course was in that trance like state of "huh?" oblivious to what just took place and damn, so was I. So I just continued to eat my taco. After we were done eating and started chatting I found myself feeding the few spilled morsels of grated cheese on my plate to Smithers without even thinking about what I was doing. I am telling you. That cat has powerful powers to enslave anyone who comes into contact with her!
