Just got the bejeebers scared out of me

[CityGirlintheCountry]

That's how Fred came to live on my front porch. The neighbors moved and Fred decided that since I would put food out for him that the grass was clearly greener in my yard. He now spends his days stretched out in the flowerbeds and his evenings making chicken rounds with me. He's the only cat I've ever known that would swing in the porch swing. He likes to sit up there with me in the evenings and just swing and swing. As my 5 year old neice said, "I just don't know about that Fred Cat..."

As long as he's outside you don't have to 'fess up to the DH.

Several of our cats love to sit in the swing and like the swinging motion, not just to sit still in the swing. My poor ol' Katie cat is so arthritic she can't hop up anymore, or even stand on her hind legs to "ask". I go pick her up and hold her close to my chest, and she can enjoy the swing for a little while yet... She'll be 20 in March.

Awww, ctrlovr, I hope Fred is still swinging at age 20. He does seem to like the swinging motion. I sit on it all stretched out and he lays lengthwise along my leg and we just swing. He's also started sleeping up there when I'm not out with him. He's just a happy orange cat!

Okay you guys

, southern slang lesson #1: In the South, it's considered impolite to take the Lord's name in vain or use it out of context:

Bejeebers can also be used in place of words for certain bodily functions that can happen if you're really scared.

or if you plan to knock the stuffing out of someone. I usually just knock the tar outta them instead.

You may have noticed that I say "goodness knows" instead of the other version. Nor will you ever see/hear me say I swear. It's "I swany". It's also considered extremely rude to use God before the D word.

Lesson over. There will be a test.
