Last night my mighty warrior cat, Hezekiah woke me. He is part Siamese, even tho he is full grey, and he "talks". So I go out to inspect, and see a huge black scorpion smack dab in the middle of the kitchen floor! He was all battlestations and ready to fight, too! Hezzie was circling him, and I was yelling, "NO!NO!"- the other cats came running, so I quickly grabbed a paper towel and scooped him up and flushed him away... I was worried about my brave mighty hunter Hezzie, but he seemed unharmed. I gave him the last kitty treat for his valor, and all the praise I could muster at dark-thirty a.m....
So I told Mom this morning, and she laughed it off and said that she can tell me from experience, a Georgia scorpion bite won't hurt you (having been stung before). Well, he sure was doing a good job of scaring me to death! I HATE those things! What if we'd stepped on it barefoot? What if it had stung my cats? What if Hez had caught it and carried it to my bed as a gift? (LaLaLa not thinking, destroy that thought! Lalalalala!!...)
Good job, Hezekiah!!
YIKES!!! That would scare the b'jebus out of me.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you picked it up.
Your cat is cute, heroic and you are right, it could have ended up in bed with you 'cos you're such a great mom. Mom's deserve surprises now and then.
ahahaha did I mention YIKES?!!
This surprise I could do without! :) I am careful about watching where I step now, especially at night. (*shivers*).
DeleteAnd yes, YIKES!!
OMG I would have run around the house screaming!
ReplyDeleteI was hollering pretty loud-- good thing mom is hard of hearing! I had to protect my babies or I would have acted helpless!
