Darn cat!!!!!!! | Arthritis Information

   I love cats, but I'm ready to take this one for a ride that it's not going to come back from!!! The cat doesn't belong to me but if she trips me one more time, she will be a dead cat.
   She ran in between my legs as I was unloading my car. I was placing my bags of food on the steps and she did her thing. I yelled at her and she ran a little ways down the driveway. I turn to get another bag out of the trunk to place on the steps. My cane was next to me and I was using my car as a support. I'm holding on to the car with bag in hand and reaching for the railing with the other. I felt the cat in between my legs and I can't pivot, so down I went. I went forward on to the steps and hit the bag against the cement step as I landed on my hands. The knee just gave out and Miss Cat is sitting there with this well satified look on her face.
   I told the owner of the cat that if she's gone, I took her for a ride. Because of that darn cat, my hands, knee, and shoulders have been hurting for a couple of days.
   Thanks for letting me vent.

My kitty is a sweety pie.  But Ollie finds a way to do the same thing.  Especially when I am on my way the stairs.  I don't know if she is trying to get my attention or if she is mad because I am ignoring her till I get off the stairs.

I think it's a bit of both! LOL...little hellin! LOL

But she has tripped me up on several occasions!  I have to have my son come and get her off the steps so I can walk.

Love her...but sometimes...she is a true little kitty PAIN!

Okay, no more showers and no more cats!!!!

You are the most dangerous woman alive. I will be so happy and relieved when they fix your knees.

Please do not harm the Marisa. Very fragile package. Special things come in fragile packages.

   The Darn Cat is fine and I'm starting to feel better. However, for about 2 hrs after my little run in with Darn Cat, I was a BITCH. My poor girls hid from me as the knee was throbing and nothing was helping.
   Guess that I should tell you the real name of the cat. It's GIZZMO, after the one in the movie, Gremlins.
The rest of the tenants are ready to get rid of her too.
She likes to pee on your door, newspaper, or place a puddle outside of the door. She goes after all of the other cats who wander into the courtyard. She will try to bit my girls, through the screen, when they are sitting in front of the door. She chased off the cat who was her littermate!!!

   Marisa She really is Miss Personality, isn't she? I'm glad you weren't hurt any worse, Marisa.

I love the name, though. Does she look like Gizzmo - all ears & calico?

I'm guessing she'll cross the wrong person, and one day she'll be wearing concrete galoshes.

I think GIZZMO sounds like a terror! I hope she can't get to your girls. I think that the owner needs a visit from the local SPCA. You could have been seriously hurt.

Marisa, get a squirt bottle of water to keep in your car. When you drive up, if she is waiting for you, give her a spritz of water. Cats hate that!
