FEBRUARY DWC 2024 DAY 3 - BARGAIN
Kara exhaled a big sigh, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at the hardwood floor, which was now covered in various colored paw prints. The culprit hadn’t strayed too far from the scene of the crime and looked as if he had done absolutely nothing wrong. It was, after all, her fault for leaving out open cans of paint that could accidentally be tipped over - or purposefully knowing him.
“Shabby, what am I going to do with you?”
Her cat responded with a pleased mew, closing in to greet her while leaving behind more painted paw prints in his wake. She picked up the chonky beast and began to run some lukewarm water in the large sink and placed the cat inside. He didn’t protest, in fact he quite loved being in water and sat there placidly as Kara gently scrubbed at his paws and fur to remove all the paint.
“You know it is kind of pretty.” She turned to admire the colorful art; Shabby seemed to (unknowingly) demonstrate quite a bit of knowledge in color theory. “Okay, how about we make a deal?” It wasn’t the first nor would it be the last time she bargained with a cat.
Shabby trilled in response, slowly blinking as he stared up at Kara.
“I’ll put out some clean paper on the floor with some kitty friendly paints and we can have weekly painting time, and in return you stay out of my human paints, ok?”
Shabby stared blankly. No deal.
“Okay how about every other day?”
Shabby once more gave a high-pitched trill as he lovingly bumped his head against her arm. Maybe her next piece could be collaborative.
