THREE CATS ... What's next ??!!



WHAT A HAPPY SCENE!


I wish !!!
I am surrounded by cats!

As most of you know, whenever my friend Sylvie 
goes on holidays (on vacation), I am the designated 'cat-sitter'.
But this time around I have also become a cat owner.

You have all met LuLu, Lucien, my very cute furry friend!
Well, not so cute as I soon found out.
The moment I introduced him to my friend's two cats,
'all Hell broke loose'! (idiom)
I'm not kidding, my friendly and cudly kitty cat 
became this ferocious wild animal!!
A screaming and screeching very territorial 'lion'.

WOW! 
I wasn't expecting such conflict
nor animal behaviour.
Class management with 32 adolescents 
in full hormonal change and in defiance of authority mode
ARE EASIER TO MANAGE!!!

So there's my cool and calm Sunday morning 'shot to bits' (idiom)
 or 
as we often say in French: Gone to Hell (idiom)
or
Gone to the dogs (idiom) How ironic when talking about CATS ;) 

This adventure has not yet a happy ending
as I am here for a few more days.
In the meantime I thought that a cat joke 
or cat humour would be appropriate ...
Have a great day!
