I’m so disappointed. You see this picture of Scratchy here? He did that for a dog. And that dog wasn’t me. He’s never done that for me.
I guess I’d better explain a few things. This picture was taken a few years ago – before I came to live here. My person says she used to have different kitchen cabinets, and they went all the way to the ceiling. Scratchy couldn’t escape by jumping on top of the cabinets, so he did the next best thing. He got as far away as possible and then, well, you know the rest.
Scratchy says (yes, I talk to Scratchy every once in awhile) that dog didn’t even live here. She just came to visit for a few days and Scratchy didn’t like it one little bit.
I really don’t think it’s fair that a visitor dog got Scratchy to do something that I can’t get him to do. Scratchy hung out on top of those kitchen cabinets for ten months after I came to live here, but never once did he arch his back like that for me. Would anyone like to help me with a fundraiser to pay for my person to put the old kitchen cabinets back?

Oh Bongo, you don’t have to get cabinets to make Scratchy do that. Just lock him in the bedroom with you and it won’t take long. But be careful what you ask for!

Rumpy, Scratchy just ignores me. I’m so disappointed.

Trust me, angry kitties are no joke! Be glad you haven’t felt the wrath of Scratchy!

Rumpy, believe me I have felt his wrath, and I have the scars to prove it. He won’t arch for me, but he used to get on the counter and attack with his claws out. We finally came to an agreement and now nobody gets hurt.

Big wet dog nose pokes don’t get that response? Oh, Bongo!

Philosopher mouse, I’ve tried that a few times and have some scars to prove it. Now I mostly keep my nose away.

Bongo, consider yourself a lucky pup; my pups think it’s terrifying when Roory turns killer kitty. Scarlett says if you really want to see it, you just have to keep poking around and knowing which of Scratchy’s buttons to push 🙂

Deannamelanie, I’ve tried getting Scratchy riled up, but he just runs away. I guess I’m not scary to him any more.

But when Scratchy does that it means he doesn’t like you. At least when he hides on the cabinets it’s ambiguous. Maybe he likes you but is just shy. Do you really want to “be sure” scratchy doesn’t like you by getting him to do that?

Jessica, Scratchy really likes me, he just won’t admit it. I guess I should be happy he’s not arching his back for me.

Scratchy sure looks ferocious. We think it is better that he doesn’t do that for you Bongo. 🙂

Brown dawgs, Scratchy’s really pretty harmless – as long as he keeps his claws to himself.

Ah Bongo, Scratchy probably doesn’t feel the need to arch his back, etc. now that he can get on top of the cabinets. Best leave it that way, I think. 😉

Katie, I had Scratchy cornered in the bedroom this morning – I really just wanted to play – and he still wouldn’t arch his back. He just kept hissing at me.

Yeah Bassa, I guess Scratchy and I are kind of buddies – sort of.
