Morgan: There was an attempt on my life this past week. I was peacefully sleeping on the floor in-da-way of any potty run. The giant human often called beloved husband flung his legs over the side of the bed and stepped on me. Whaatttt? Does this human not know cats are king (in this case queen)? One must always check before putting foot down. It could have been a juicy hairball!
I hollered really loud. The female human levitated off of the bed. Pretty cool to watch. The other cats came running to see what happened.
Fortunately I am quick and no harm was done but I never mentioned that to the humans. They gave me special attention and extra food and smooches all day. I won’t forget they tried to kill me but the treats were good and the new catnip bag was wonderful. Maybe I’ll sleep in-da-way when I need extra attention. ‘Scuse me, I need a nap.

They tell us as we get older to beware of throw rugs and the like as tripping agents. What about the pets? I’ve tripped on Zena in the night. Maybe we should have nighttime glow collars?

Morgan quickly jumps out of the way these days. I don’t think she sleeps on the side of the bed on the floor either. They learn fast. My husband could use a glow collar for the end of the bed! 🙂

I love it when the other cats come running to see what’s up! Not the being stepped on part, though.

Morgan, next time sleep on the top step of the stairs. That will teach them to look before they leap.

I live in constant fear of this with this kitten. He loves to be under my feet. I will no doubt break someone on me and on him if he doesn’t learn his lesson soon. But I fear the only way to learn the lesson is to be stepped on and I haven’t yet. It seem inevitable though. He often sleeps in the bedroom doorway. So, like you hubby, I think I’m heading for a screeching moment.

Morgan is almost 5 so she should know better. They do learn though and often if they yelp before you come down you are more likely to overturn you ankle.

Stepping on a pet is an awful feeling– for both cat and human. But makes for a good story.

In-da-way is Theo’s default position. He hasn’t learned that the male giant in this house NEVER looks down before he moves. I just shake my head at the 2 of them. You’d think one of them would have figured it out by now.

Once upon a time, Morgan, my father stepped on my stepmother’s cat. The cat set up a yowl to end all yowls. Dad tried to say the cat wasn’t really hurt. Stepmom said, “How would you feel if a garbage truck landed on you?”
Needless to say, THAT marriage didn’t last, either.
