Going All Cat-atonic

(I’m helping my mom cat sit for a friend’s 12 cats. Most of the cats avoid us, but there is one cat that doesn’t. My mom bends over to wipe something on the floor, and this cat jumps out of nowhere on her back.)

Mom: “Get this. Cat. Off. Me!”

Me: “No way. Last time I did that, the cat scratched me and hissed.”

Mom: “Help! Help!”

(It is pretty funny to see my mom running around in circles like a hunchback, waving her arms. Meanwhile the cat is riding on top of her, unaffected.)

Me: “Mom, just straighten up!”

Mom: “Oh. Why didn’t I think of that?!” *does it*

Me: *laughing until I choke*
