they tried to make me go to maine and i said "no, no, no."


on satruday morning i was packing for maine. i had packed koobi fora's things and got her box out. she must have figured it out cause she decided to hide under the bed. and she did not want to come out. i tried treats. i tried tuna. or i tried fake tuna. i got the can and the opener and she came to the door. but when i tried to catch her she ran back under. then we tried the vacuum trick. torie turns the vacuum on at one side of the bed in hopes she will come out the other. but it didn't work. i tried poking her out and she didn't budge. eventually i moved the bed and grabbed her. she was SO scared and upset and emitting that scent cats do when they're in danger.

when we were in the car i said, "koobi fora, let this be a lesson to you. i always win."

then i felt bad about the trauma getting her into the box and i let her out so she could sit on the seat. after a few minutes koobs came out of her box and peed all over my jacket.

she totally won.

Just like the guy with the cat circus said -- you can't make a cat do something it doesn't want to (at least, not without serious repercussions).
