Don't watch Alias with a Cat

Friday, March 24, 2006

Despite what I said yesterday that I was looking forward to having a cat snuggle up to me and kneading me while I watch one of my favourite programs, Alias, I find that it isn't the right recipe to relax.

I learned this through a literally painful lesson.

Alias is always exciting and sends you into suspense mode. I should've known that by now and take heed. Especially since the last couple of weeks have seen the team getting very near to their Rambaldi chase.

Anyway, Piper came up next to me, resting her head on my leg while she lied down and began kneading my leg. We were doing fine, like any other night that we sit that way and watch TV. Prue was all stretched out on the floor enjoying the cool while Phoebe, as usual, was behind the curtain watching the night go by outside.

It was yet another great episode of Alias with a lot of emotions thrown in this time. When all the fighting ended and everything returned to good and normal, it was signalling the end of the episode, right? No. Not for Alias.

The biggest unexpected "scare" came right at the end and I literally jumped from my seat. This obviously scared Piper as she too jumped and quickly ran for cover. I went to her, her eyes were big and ears all up and alert. I put my palm on her chest and felt the poor girl's heartbeat thumping so fast.

After calming her, I felt a sharp pain on my thigh. I looked and saw that Piper had scratched me by accident when I scared her. Ouch!!!

Cat or dog lovers or lover of any pets that has sharp claws, don't make the same painful mistake.
