Celibate and Sane: Larci the Larrican

Larci the Larrican

Larci our larrican ginger and white cat, has been a little crazy for the past few days. When he gets into moods like this, you have to watch your fingers, arms, elbows etc so that he doesn't try to bite them. He seems to have a special affinity with me - when it comes to biting and scratching that is, though he doesn't always reserve his special attention just for me.

Following are a series of photos of his progression from a seemingly quiet mood to one of "Stay out of my way, because I think I'm about to go nuts!"

I'm a sweet, innocent little puddy tat.

I'm as quiet as a lamb.

Just look at how I sit so lovingly with my stepbrother Stanley.

And then he decides to start a fight.

And then wants to run away, the wuss!

And so what am I going to do now? Mmmmm?

This chair looks like it would be great fun to play on!

And to bite and scratch and kick! Yeah!

It evens feels good to bite from up here on top of the freezer.

Phew! Ok, that was fun ... now what?

I'd really love to be able to get up to some mischief outside...

But since I'm stuck in here ...

I'm going to just have to entertain myself somehow.

Perhaps I could hang around here for a bit ...

And then try out my new exercise routine.

First you stretch to the left and push your feet out
till you can feel the screen about to pop.

And then kinda stretch up with your chin in the air...

And then swing your body over without
moving your front legs ... I think.

And then you kind of push your shoulders to .... oops!

I think I know what a pretzel feels like.

Oh forget it! Can I play with you instead?

Hey, can I borrow your camera? I want
to show you what the other cats get up to
when you're not looking.

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
