A day in the life of Lola
NS November 19th, 2008
Lola is my cat. Here’s a typical day for her:
Yowl and scratch at dining room door to wake and annoy humans
Stand by food bowl and look sad until the female human brings the food
Weave in and out of female human’s legs as she attempts to walk to food bowl
Eat like there’s no tomorrow
Immediately go sit by kitchen door and ‘ask’ to be let out
Ten minutes later, ask to be let back in
One minute after that, ask to be let out
Come back in
Check food bowl to see if more tasty morsels have appeared
Climb out of washing machine where put by that short, hyper human
Go out
Chase a squirrel
Come back in
Go out
Come back in
Drink some water
Attack the curtains
Try to sit on the squidgy baby human’s seat and get told off
Check food bowl again
Take a long nap on the humans’ bed, leaving black hairs all over the white duvet
Drink some more water
Play with a piece of plastic on the floor
Go out
Poop in neighbour’s garden
Come back in
Go out
Frolic in leaves
Come back in
Look at food bowl plaintively
Go out
Come back in
Female human approaching with food bag — oh happy day!
Eat like there’s no tomorrow
Take a short nap on sofa
Sit on male human’s lap
Sniff baby’s head and recoil
Go out
Get into scrap with a loser grey cat; kick his ass
Come back in
Play with that infuriating laser pointer
Drink more water
Allow female human to scratch my ears and belly
Purr lots
Put into dining room in my lovely soft bed and scratching post
Fall asleep dreaming of my food bowl filled with majestic mounds of plentiful treats

if you put a fleecy throw on the bed, she’ll gravitate towards that and save your white duvet! throws are easier to wash as well
Oh, so much more exciting than our cat:
sleep
weave in and out of legs
sleep
eat
sleep
sleep
jump on computer
sleep
ignore attempts to engage in play
sleep
I am not a cat person, but Lola’s life sounds pretty darn good.
i agree with a free man. i think i’d like that life!
Thought you might enjoy this site…you think it is a lazy life but it is really all a part of the cat’s strategy

LOL She sounds a lot like my kitten, Nutmeg! Except where you’ve written “ask to go out”, substitute “gaze longingly out window” and “go out” with “try desperately to escape while humans leave for school and work”.
Ah. Cats. fun!
Jen — Thanks for the tip, will try that!
Sarah — Your cat doesn’t have a toddler terrorizing it, that’s why its day is less eventful. Be glad.
A Free Man — I didn’t used to be a cat person either. I became one out of laziness, really. Couldn’t be bothered to keep a dog in such small living quarters and have to take it for walks and to parks all the time, in inclement weather. At least cats are self-sufficient for the most part.
Andrea — Yes, sometimes I’m jealous of her.
Sumo — Very funny site, thanks for the link.
Erin — They sure are.
