If Butterscotch Could Talk…
December 22nd 2009 21:00
Like many people who have been blessed with a companion animal, I wish my beloved Butterscotch could talk. I have taken this to the extreme of creating a script for him, with a little help from one of my ex-colleagues. It goes like this: I imagine a stranger is trying to approach Butterscotch. Butterscotch, being a feisty cat who doesn’t suffer fools gladly, would say to the stranger, “We’re not talking…team meeting…Don’t you…scratch!...come near me…I am cat.” Weird, I know. But if you know Butterscotch as well as I do, it seems to work as it sums up his personality to a T. How did this come about? you ask. Well, what happened was whenever my old colleague became frustrated at work, she would look at pictures of her friend’s yellow Labrador and fantasise that he was her boss. I elaborated by saying both the dog and Butterscotch were her bosses and they would come over and put their paws on her hand when she was stressed as a way of increasing team morale. She revelled in that fantasy.
