Truth or Fiction, Round One

Hmmm, that doesn't seem like a very appropriate title now that I think about it. Most fiction definitely contains a lot of truth. I'll have to think of a better title for this little game.

The game I am speaking of is one that I just thought up. I will occasionally be posting some short blogs with little stories, some made up and some actual happenings. It is up to you, my readers, to take a guess as to whether the stories are real or not. Have fun.

OK...my first story.

Last night the oldies and I stayed up until almost 11.30 p.m. watching an old movie about an itinerant preacher (Sheffey). My father went to go fetch a snack part way through the movie; he came back with a box of Wheat Thins. My mum decided she'd have some too. Then Outlaw, our big fluffy Maine Coon, decided *he* wanted some too! Outlaw stepped up to my father and pawed at his jeans pleadingly. My mum smiled and jokingly held out a whole cracker for Outlaw, knowing that he likes his food cut up in tiny pieces. Outlaw began licking the salt off the underside of it, and I started giggling. Then he shocked everybody by turning his head and using his shorter side teeth to actually bite off a corner of the cracker and chew it! He did this several times; all the while my mum and I were laughing our heads off. I know it doesn't *sound* quite as funny now, but believe me, it was hilarious. I guess poor Outlaw was very hungry. I've never seen a cat do that before.

So, dear readers and commenters, is this true or did I make it up? I await your comments.

Ah, I love Slim. Such a nice kitty. Perhaps it is because his diet consists mainly of pathetic green ellipsoids that he is so Slim.

Does your first comment mean you think I'm making it up?

I vote definately REAL...After all, only Jess #1 and her cat could actually have a real story that funny...

YAY! Somebody believes me! And you are absolutely right, Jess, it is true, completely true...but I think I have been trumped by Slim's antics with the olives. Even Outlaw isn't that daring. Crackers will do just fine for him! LOL! :)

SFL, dear, I hate to break it to you, but if MY story about Civil War re-enacting is cockamamie, then so is your lovely daughter's. She will corroborate and confirm anything I tell you because she was right there with me the whole time. :D
