Blue Kitty

After rubbing my cat with rubbing alcohol, his orange and white fur began to turn blue and gray. No one noticed for quite a while, and once I brought the color change to my father's attention, he was less than satisfied. He told me to wash the cat, even though I admitted to have nothing to do with the situation. It worked well, and the cat began to get his old colors back. I looked at him and thought that I really liked the original orange and white colors more.

The cat is symbolizing misfortune. By cleaning it with the alcohol, I am trying to escape the situation and solve it. Perhaps I am trying to find the fastest way out of a scenario, but I cannot let it stand incorrect. By trying to change it so quickly with the rubbing alcohol, I am making the situation worse and have to do more work in the end. The moral could be to always give each situation an appropriate time to be solved.

Wow, you're cat is a nuisance even in your dreams! I'd give him the rough side of the tongue, but I guess he could top you.
