It’s supposed to be a cat free studio. Every time I’m in there though, there are little paws under the door like this.
When we got Bishop I still had my rabbit Theo, and to keep the rabbit safe we gave Bishop a bell collar. Once the rabbit passed, we realized how much WE used the bell to find the cat, so he still wears it. It really has become part of his personality. When we mock him it’s always in a high pitched “tee tee tee” sound that his bell makes. And although that “tee tee tee” might give the impression of light elegant cat, he’s not a graceful cat at all. The term lithe could be used to describe most cats, but Bishop always evokes more of a Chuck Wagon commercial, stampeding through the house. You can say the bell is ironic.
The picture above reminds me how Matt and I were talking yesterday about something that has happened to both of us before. We have a half bathroom right off the kitchen where we often get ready in the morning. We will hear Bishop’s bell and look out into the kitchen, the living room, the breakfast nook, and no Bishop. We call his name, nothing. We’ll proceed with getting ready, and hear his little tink again. Look out and still no cat. This will continue over and over until something in our peripheral vision makes us look up and realize that Bishop is standing on top of the refrigerator, with a perfect view into the bathroom. He’s found a perfect place to hide in plain sight.
Ahahaha. But who can say no to that face?
