The People got a new ginormous TV last night. It is to replace the one in the cat free room that didn't have enough "put things in" whatever that means. So since the "old" TV is a year old and slightly less ginormous than the new one, it came to live downstairs in the common space. Of course we all had to sniff it! And of course I tried to jump on it...the Awesome Man (I'm reconsidering that name, at least for today) got REALLY REALLY mad at me when I tried to jump up on the TV. He got "speaker mad" at me. I should explain....
When I was a kitten the Awesome Man was already my favorite person. But he ignored me and didn't pet me or play the bite-game with me. One day I thought I'd hit him where it hurt and I chewed the cover off of his center-channel speaker. This thing was up high and hard to get to, but I did it. I chewed an entire corner off. When the Awesome Man found out, he yelled and screamed so loud the Woman was scared for me. I was scared too. I slinked off and hid under the bed for a while. He was SO MAD!! But he got over it and I never did that again.
So last night he yelled at me because he wanted to let us all know we are not allowed to try to jump on this new TV. Well, of course I didn't listen... He ran after me and yelled and screamed and scared me so badly that I lashed out at him as I was running away. The Woman heard me shrieking and....and....I bit him. I'm sorry! He was trying to pick me up and I was really scared. I would never bite him on purpose, I LOVE HIM! He didn't get mad at me for biting him because he knew I was just scared and running away and my hiss/bite caught one tooth on his arm. I went and hid under the bed for a long time. The Woman came up to console me and it made me feel better. Later that night the Awesome Man came up and gave me lots of pettings and said he wasn't mad at me and he understood why I got so scared and was sorry.
I'll tell you what, either I'll never touch that TV again...OR...I'm going to destroy it in spite. I haven't decided yet.
