I’ve stepped on my cat three times in the past few days. Why, you might ask? No, I’m not a jerk. It’s because Sam, the cat, has recently discovered a new skill: camoflage.
There’s a biege and brown blanket in our living room that’s just there for whenever people get cold. It’s usually on or around the couch. Lately, whenever it’s been on the floor, Sam has been cuddling up on it, since it’s so warm and cuddly. There’s only one problem: Sam is beige and brown too. When he sits on this blanket, he disappears.
Now, as neat as this weird skill of his is, I think I’m obligated to do something. He doesn’t really seem to care all that much, but I’m worried I’m going to squish an internal organ or something. I could just take the blanket away, but he’s really gotten attached to it. It seems like an intractable problem.
What would you do? And what’s wrong with me? Why do I always have the strangest issues?

Maybe move the blanket to a less traveled part of the house?
Steve
its cause your fucked.
Mark
It’s not like it’s in the middle of the room. I seem to stumble over him wherever it is.
Alex
maybe you should invest in some heat-vision glasses for whenever you’re walking around your house.
When Mary Ann and I win the Amazing Race I’ll use some of our winnings to but you a pair.
Crispin
I can see the cat no problem
Steve
Yeah but your looking for it.
Mark
Plus, one doesn’t look directly at the floor when they’re walking. Try to spot it with your peripheral vision.

Mark, you know i think the font is too big
I know you will stubbornly shoot me down so i won’t read your site for a while to avoid seeing bad words about me.
Keddy@hom
Hahah… but the large text is good when i am reading the site from across my livingroom! Haha.
keddy@homre

FACK!!!

Mark, keep the blanket on the couch or a chair or some other above-the-ground-level thing….if sam is that attached to the blanket, he will learn to sleep on it on the couch.
Angie@Work
We have 3 blankets made of the same fleecy stuff, however, Sam seems to like best the one that he resembles. Maybe he thinks its a relative or something. Cats are so weird sometimes. Who knows how their little minds work?
Keddy@home
Yeah like why does he attack sometimes when you walk by? He just jumps outta no where.

Cat story is WAY too long…who has enough extra time to actually read that whole thing?
Keddy@home
Long…
Mark
It’s not that long, what’s wrong with you two? (I’m very glad my cat’s breath does not evoke comparisons to the Andromeda Strain.)
je
WAY TOO LONG….did you read both parts? And, mark, where is this music thing you promised me and Alaska the other night
KEDDY@HOME
How come I wasn’t promissed ALASKA!!! I want Sweeden now!!!
Mark
You never sent me a list of the songs you wanted; it’s your fault. Also, music piracy is wrong.
Pugs.
How can something so wonderful be wrong?.
Mark
I think that argument is starting to gain group, especially in Sweden.
KEDDY@HOME
I own Sweden! And all their Volvo’s.
Keddy@home
There is a Punk/Emo band from SoCal called Halifax… WTF?
je
NO Mark…you said you would just put them up and we could download what we want…and besides…I told you the 2 that I wanted the most
Pugs.

Alex

Samouflage! …one of his many aliases…Samou wrestler…Prince Sam…Sambo…He does it on purpose. It’s his ‘cat in disguise’ phase.
Janet@Home
Sam is strange, you should make him his own blog.
Jamie@Bacon
I think you should paint a bright pink strip down the cats back.
If you use non-toxic glow in the dark paint, I think it would be the most effective.

What about velcro reflecters?
