5 month mark

I've hit the first week of my fifth month of lugging little Zit around. I can't believe we only have 4 months to go and then Zit will be here and our lives will be forever changed.

I'm thinking our older cat Missy Sophia is finally realizing something weird is going on because she is acting out more and more and getting all nutty. We bought a new office chair to save my poor back from the pain of our piddly wooden chair, and Missy Sophia has decided it's her chew toy. We came home last night to find a chunk taken out of it and tons of pin holes across the top. For now I taped a blanket around the back part of the chair, and whenever Missy S is sitting in the chair, I run in there and yell at her. She's usually the good cat -- never does anything bad except bodily harm to us or to Zoe -- so I'm not sure what's going on with her. Maybe she has something against leather office chairs?

Miss S is also becoming more obnoxious at night. She is bringing in all the cat toys she can find into our room and screaming her head off. Eventually my husband has to get up and chase her down and lock her up with the leather chair (yes, I know that doesn't seem to make sense since she hates it so much, but 2 am in the morning is not the time to try to move furniture around). She's also becoming more aggressive towards me and Zoe. I was changing the sheets on our bed last night, and Zoe likes to get under each layer as I make the bed. Missy S kept jumping on top of her and biting her through the sheet or the blanket. Finally I got so fed up with her evilness, that I stuck Missy S under the blanket and let Zoe pounce on her. That brought her cat devil out and we all had to run for our lives.

So 4 more months to go! Which mean 4 more months of trying to protect ourselves from nutball Missy S....
