Tinkle Snuggles Crasto was an unplanned pet. And yet there she was, that ball of fur that purred her way into our lives. Of course, like all good things, she was a delight to be around. The hubby was slowly thawing towards her. Life as we knew it……. was good.
And then the change began. Slowly, but surely, we were being replaced. The first signs came about when the suspect (read husband) came back from a foreign trip sans any goodies. I was a given, but the daughter? Well, it was an expensive country and he had gone on a business tour. So, we were all ready to forgive him, when out popped 5 packets of cat food! We should have read the signs then.
- The secrets that lie behind those sheer curtains
The affair, since then, has only grown. To which, may I add, Tinkle reciprocates fully. She spends the day sleeping but the sound of the evening doorbell and she is purring like a racing engine. Enter, the husband, and all hell breaks loose. We are nobody. He is her Lord and Master, and oh, how he loves it.
- Oh just see the love that overflows
He goes looking for Omega Rich food for her. He has invested in so many toys to keep her busy, we have a mini fortune out there. He hangs halfway outside the balcony if is she is on the parapet, urging the love of his life to return. Heck, he calls from the US and urges me to put the phone on speaker so he can talk to her. BTW, her name tag has his number on it. Never mind that if she goes missing, God forbid, I will be the one hunting for her! Two months ago he took her to a pet spa for a day of relaxation. My trips to the salon, let me add, are considered as EXPENSE. Her’s are cited as a DAY OUT! WTF! Last week, however, he crossed all barriers. He plans to have her nominated in his will. No, don’t do the age math. I tried. He got furious, called me insensitive and must have visited a divorce lawyer by now, I’m guessing. All this, when he did not even want the cat at home in the first place!!!!!!
As far as Tinkle is concerned, she knows she has him wrapped around her tail. My daughter and I can’t grow one, so we clearly are not in the same league. Bottom line, we’ve learnt, there can be no competition with a pussy. Don’t blame us dammit…………..look at that face. Sigh….♥ ♥ ♥

Ousted by a cat! What is the world coming to? But I know you love the little queen too. 🙂
I am telling you Dagny, the things I go through to keep this marriage in place……………sigh!
The story of our lives! Hubby’s love for cats is so OTT that I ended up with skin allergy. Next, we will be driven out of this building. No wonder we have equated cats with God.
Our lives are entwined closer than we think, Janu 😀
hmmm … I had a few kittens overrun my verandah a few months back .. broke my delicate plants, threw mud all around .. Made me so angry .. But then I would look into their cute faces and melting eyes and go awwww !!
I remember seeing a pic of those fellas………..yup, cute gets to you!
Hahahaha trust me people every word is true hahahahahaha I’m a witness hahaha n it’s super funny Hahahaha
SSSSSssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh woman!
Have you ladies tried purring? Maybe that’s what he gets drawn to!
Sounds like the time when my mom and sister had a dog called Mink. The whole day, my mom would feed, bathe, pet, walk, pamper her. But the moment that doorbell rang, the dog would toss my mom away like a fly in milk and rush to be with my sister (and only her). The kahawat – “jis thali mein khati hai…” has been used by my mom on the dog with disdain often!
Must be the purring……….though I am thinking he likes the swishy tale along with the catwalk, Rickie.
Ah, so your mom would feel for me much more I am guessing.
Haha. Such a cute cat she is. My Pepper used to do the same when my husband came home from office. They were a pair and I was pushed out of the picture (though I gave her name and fame with an FB page even) Sigh 😛
All of them are the same, eh? I hear you and I totally get your pain. We toh are nowhere near the frame of the picture also!
Oh she is such a sweetheart. I had a cat over for a couple of months when a neighbor was on a vacation. They are a laugh riot. But I prefer dogs! And Coco is much more mama’s darling than anyone else’s. I love the guy so dearly. He is the only kid of mine, I spoil unabashedly. Loved the pics a lot! I believe animals teach us to be humane.
I am actually a dog lover who has been converted into a cat owner by these pair of absolute ‘nobody loves me’ eyes……..Sigh!
And I can understand why Coco or Tinkle get the best from us. They won’t be bringing their dates home 😛
Umm well, it is war Vinita! March on
I would have Sneha, if those eyes had not got me to surrender…….Grrrrrrrrr.
So sweet. 😀 I know how this feels. Enjoy the happiness, is all I can say!
Hugs!
Thanks Vidya. Bringing her home was one of the best things that we ever did 🙂
Sigh, Cats are such lovely creatures
Yes, I have come to believe that, now after Tinkle 🙂
uh oh! You sound catty…wait, maybe that’s a good thing! 😀
At least someone thought this was about me 😀
Awww, someone is jealous! :p
lol! hilarious post! love the name!
