A-toZ Blogging Challenge. The Affliction of Supercilious+ness

April 22, 2013 By C. Lee McKenzie 49 Comments

The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out

Superciliousness

Is that a real word? If not, it should be. Or am I being supercilious?

One thing I know for sure is that all cats have the supercilious gene. Either that or they’ve just come into money and are waiting to see your expression when you find out.

The cat box need attention.

I’m not in the mood right now. Come back later.

I’ve got my limb. Go find your own.

    Hi Lee Great word, love the lady photo – she does look smug .. and the leopard just got the cream – Cornish by the look of him … certainly not Pond Pudding … he'd be airing his throat to rid himself of the lemon!

    Cheers Hilary

    My latest addition is like a 2 year old when he doesn't get his way (like when I'm shooing him off the counter); he actually growls like I shouldn't be the boss of him! Hello? Who's puttin' food in your dish?
