Kitten Slippers

Every morning now as I get ready for work, I wear kitten slippers. They are a lively footwear, and not all that cozy, but cuter slippers you will not find.

These slippers are composed of four different kittens. Two are black & white & look just like The Cuteness. One is all black, and one is gray & white. While I am putting on my make-up & drying my hair, they cavort all over my feet, periodically stopping to attempt teething on my toes or heels.

When their nails or teeth make too much contact, it causes me to do little jigs that have never before been choreographed by humans, as I attempt to get the offending kitten off my smarting foot while trying not step on it's siblings.

Anybody want a pair of these slippers? They'll be ready to go a week from today!

Sigh... I shouldn't even be admitting this, but I was half-way through the second paragraph before I stopped struggling to picture how the manufacturers constructed this plush footwear.

ha! I get it! real kittens! cute!

For my airheadedness, I plead intensely hot weather and getting over being sick...

melbrown, don't feel so fooolish, I did the same. and I'd warrant many other readers (who will not be so humble as you in admitting it) also did the same... perhaps we should credit the author with ingenuity and not the reader with airheadedness...

Yep- I plead guilty to Melissa's dilemma as well...and it's not even hot so I have no excuse! I'm sure Brad would LOVE to have one o' yer fine felines...I'm not sure our landlords would approve...I like the part about the dance never before choreographed...:)

Actually, Lindsay, dear, I was hoping for a kitten jacket. Do any of your adorable little felines have white fur with black spots?

I must say, having met these "slippers" in person, I found it extremely easy to understand exactly what Lindsay was writing about. Very cute it is, however... once a kitten becomes a cat I can no longer stand the beasts. So, you'd better keep me away from them. :-)

Now see, this is completely unfair. Asaphat can make a funny comment and get away with it. If it had been me, on the other hand, there would have been accusations and fingershaking and dire warnings, etc, etc. Sometimes you just can't win for losing. hehehehehehee....

Now I'm going to come and see them. Last time I was over they could barely take a step.

Way cute! And no, I didn't get it until halfway through, either. And I should have, since I sometimes wear ferret slippers...or did, until I started KICKING the silly ferret! There, Derrick, are you happy that I'm taking some of the flak?

PS I kicked YumYum gently, in case you were worried. And we are much better friends, now that we have an understanding.

In fact, sometimes I let her be a ferret muff...and that's a real privelege, since her claws are small and skritchy and her nose is tickly! It lasts all of about 43 or 44 seconds,and then down she goes...on the floor where she belongs.
