As it started raining this morning, I told Watchcat Collette, "I'm sorry there have been so many storms lately. I know you don't like storms." Collette then attempted to bite and scratch my hand.
I admonished her, "Well, don't bite or scratch me! I didn't cause it to rain. I'm sympathetic to your plight."
It puzzles me that Watchcat Collette misinterpreted my sympathy as an excuse to use me as a scapegoat.
