I am trying to rise above the situation by pretending I don't see them or better still that I am ignoring them. After all I don't want anyone to think senility is setting in.....which it obviously is with my longlegs. How dare they bring these creatures into my home after all the years I spent hunting them as pests and now they drop an 'S' and call them pets. Absolutely ridiculous.
It is a little funny though that I can walk into the room and watch them eyeing me up to see if I'm about to pounce. They stop whatever they're doing to watch me as I studiously pretend to ignore them. hey're quite funny really and from the corner of my eye I can see their antics. Penny is a thief of any food that isn't nailed down and in that I include anything that happens to be in her sisters hands at the time. This morning I saw her fly down the ramp from the penthouse carrying a peanut in it's shell. She deposited it on the ground floor in her cache then shot back up her ladder to the first floor to see if there was anything for her from the longlegs, No? So she shot straight up the ramp to the penthouse and pinched the nut that Amy was trying to open. That also went down the ramps to the store leaving neither of them with anything to eat until those silly longlegs gave them another one each. And how undignified the longlegs are with their constant
" Hello beautiful Penny, who's a pretty girl" etc. when in fact I'm the beautiful one around here and they should be giving me treats and hugs now I'm back.
I believe a few sessions of missing my litter tray are in order to regain me some attention or the gang will be laughing at me soon. I think I may also train the rats to co-operate with me in a finger nibbling session when the longlegs place their hands near. I will leave them in peace in exchange for that and the longlegs will see I'm the one they need to take care of from now on.
