Splelunking Sebastian
So I admit I'm a cat lady. If you've read any of my books and have read even further, the About the Author blurb in the back, you'll know that I have two of them. I also sleep in a very high bed, which I have to climb up into at night. It's kind of the axis of my little world and I do a lot in that bed... get your mind out of the gutter. Everything I need is within reach when I'm up there, my TV is balanced on top of an armoire across from my bed etc.. I have very high ceilings and I've also created a little network of ledges that allow my kitties access to everything. They can run everywhere, except two places which I've blocked off because of the breakables I display there. Of course, this is where they want to go the most.
So this morning, or should I say mourning, I was awoken early(and by this I mean 11am as I'm a night owl, usually up to 4 or 5am)by the unmistakable sounds of my cat Sebastian tromping through areas unknown...unknown to him that is. He had somehow leaped from a ledge onto the top of the TV laden armoire and proceeded to explore behind the precariously positioned flat-screen and the delicate freestanding Oriental shelf adorned with very expensive porcelain mermaids. Sigh.
So I clear a way for him to jump back to the safety of my bed but no, this is not what the adventurous cat wants. Instead of choosing the easy way out of his risky business, he instead wedges himself into the space behind the armoire(which is about 7 feet tall) and proceeds to spelunk his way down the back of it, emitting a horrible eeking scratch of a noise the whole way down. Now my 20lb feline is stuck behind the armoire, and the only way out is blocked by yet another cabinet, piled high with electronics.
I had to move everything out so he could crawl out, while Dominic, my other cat, sat watching it all with a confused air and a look that clearly stated his disgust in his brother's behavior. I thanked him for his sanity as I cursed Sebastian's kitty curiosity which almost resulted in the usual end: death.
And the day has only just begun.
The good news is, Harvest of the Gods, the first book in my new split series, is almost done, I'm going through the polishing stage and next it will go for review with my best and most helpful critic, Krystal. I'm still stuck on the cover though. Also, my first children's book, There's a Goddess Too, is out and for sale on both Amazon and Createspace.com.
