She's A Wackadoodle

I just had to share this funny story with everyone. Recently, I visited my dear friend Shari in Florida. We met in blogland, and became fast friends. This is my 3rd time visiting her, and we had lots of fun girl time. I stayed in my usual pretty girly guestroom, and she and her hubby generously allowed me to use their master bathroom, adjacent to their master bedroom.

Now, they have a cat, named Itty Bitty Kitty. Bitty for short. Bitty is a pretty girl, but not much of a people person. However, on several occasions, I was able to win her over, and she would come by me for a quick pet.

One night, after her hubby had already gone to bed, my friend and I were having one of our girly chats. Afterwards, I tiptoed quietly into the bathroom to get ready for bed. I quietly shut the door, and proceeded to use the potty. I turned around and just as I was about to "take care of business" there right in front of me was "the kitty". With her being skittish as it is, here is the poor kitty trapped inside the bathroom with a stranger. I gently put my hand out so she could smell me, and very quietly tried to "explain" that she would have to wait a minute, and then I would let her out. Meanwhile, on the other side of the opposite door that leads to my friends bedroom, her husband is listening. Half a wake and half asleep, he is hearing this voice, whispering, and talking silly to the cat. Hi Bitty, whatcha doing in here. Just wait a minute and miss Debbie will let you out. ok? He sits up in bed, and again here's this voice coming from the bathroom. He couldn't make out what I was saying exactly, but he concluded, Yup, I knew it!!! She's a Wackadoodle!! She's in the bathroom talking to herself. LOL! He had no idea that I was talking to the cat, because,  when he went to bed, the cat was sleeping right next to the bed. A few seconds later, when I let the cat out of the bathroom, she said goodnight with a MEOW, and her husband realized I was talking to the kitty. I'm sure he breathed a sigh of relief.  Bitty likes to hide underneath the sink, where there is a shelf. That's why I didn't see her when I first when in.  We had a good laugh about it the next day. Darn near gave her hubby a heart attack!!
