raincitygirlYoung Miss Weaver gets scared when I cough near her. I guess it's the whole "loud noise" thing. She hid under the bed for hours on end when idiots were letting off firecrackers in the back alley around Halloween.
YMW is also scared of the cat carrier, and generally goes nowhere near it. It's still sitting on the living room floor, in part because I just haven't gotten around to putting it back on the top shelf in the big closet. And in part because in the event that she needs to go to the vet again, she'll freak out if I pull the carrier out of the closet, but not if it's just around. Also, there's a pile of Agatha Christies I need to weed through that kind of...migrated to the top of the cat carrier. If I put it away, I have to actually DO the weeding out of books, and I am pathologically scared of what will happen if I give away a book. I have problems, I know.
Anyway, I let out a loud cough just now, and YMW freaked out as usual. In her haste to get away from the coughing staff member, she happened to run right INTO the carrier. Then she let out what I can only describe as a most un-feline squawk of alarm at finding herself inside it, ran straight out again (backwards), and went whirling around the living room floor trying to get herself oriented from back to front to front to back. It was hilarious. I just wish I'd filmed it.
Chez raincitygirl, we make our own fun. How are you guys doing?

Said he doesn't want me to ever feel like he's trying to hold me back, and he thinks it'll be great interview experience.
