Question Of The Day - Tuesday, May 21

Hello Hello! Happy Tuesday!




My birthday is in a couple of days May 23!








(Kidding, kidding!)






So I totally stole this from social media





Refer to your cats as "roommates". What does your roommate do?






My roommate likes to roll flat on his back and lie there spread eagle.

My roommate is my bestie, he likes to cuddle morning, noon and night.

One of my roommates likes to chew on the curtain rail, and the other cries to be picked up and carried. Both like to share the dog's bed and to chew on cardboard boxes.

One of my roommates likes to bring me slowworms, the other two like to bring them in the house and drop them by my feet.

My room mates eat me out of house and home; slob around the place; pay no rent; expect me to care for their every need; sleep like lazy teenagers; scratch the furniture; wake me up at 4am; poo and pee in a box instead of the loo; want a cuddle one minute then just leave without even a thanks.
Ah well, I know my place.

Clearly your roommates and my roommates are related.

My roommate like to roam the neighborhood during the day and cuddle up to me in bed at bed time.

I could've typed this myself. It sounds exactly like my two roommates.

We downtrodden folks need to stick together, maybe organise a self help group or a refuge when things get too bad.

My male roommate likes to dance on top of me at 3am.
My female roommate likes to smack me if I touch her without permission.

One roommate constantly wants to talk, and is occasionally surly.

The other roommate doesn't care for how I decorate, and always leaves her belongings lying around.

My roommate acts like she is starving to death when I feed her breakfast even though there is plenty of food in her dish.

My roommates like to watch kitty tv (aka the living room window), sleep,play with toys, chase each other, get petted (some of them), (see what I am doing in the kitchen (Tipper and Whiskers)

Let's see; one roomie likes to sit on my lap and knead my stomach with his claws, another one wants me to crack the faucet so he can play in the water, a third likes to 'help' me eat my breakfast, and add a little cat hair in the bargain, yet another has assumed the role of guardian and chases off any of the other roomies that get too close, a fifth has taken on the role of entertainment director, and the sixth is the designated ego deflator.

My roommate has taken over the alarm clock's job, but has it all wrong. She goes off too early, walking across my hip, rattling the closet doors, and yelling that I need to get up ME...NOW!

Since I don't have a dog, she does the job of watchdog, alerting me of anyone approaching the front door. With a swift run she stands in front of the door and like a shy dog she runs into another room until the person enters the house. Then comes out all friendly, wanting to be petted by this new or old friend.

This roommate wants to be treated like royalty, having the door opened whenever she wants to leave the house or come back in. I keep reminding her she has her own private entrance but to no avail!

My roommate judges my parenting.

One of my roommates likes to wake me up around 5am so I will let him under the covers with me. I am the only person who has seen my other roommate. It's like she doesn't exist except for the photographic evidence.

Could I just completely go off topic here (I can then flag myself and give myself a good talking to ) but why do people in the States talk about roommates? It took me a while, when I first came to TCS, to the get my head around the fact that the people who were saying things like: 'my roommate has 2 cats and I have a cat and (insert problem here)' were not all crammed into one room!
Over here a roommate is a housemate or a flatmate.

That said, one of my housemates is currently spending a lot of her time on top of the wardrobe. The other one sits in front of me when I'm on the loo, looking utterly bemused.

My roommate sits in my pants and plays with my drawstrings while I'm on the loo. This is the same one that judges my parenting.
