Calico house cat ‘Godiva’ showed little concern in regards to an unexpected pun Wednesday evening. The exchange occurred when the cat’s temporary guardian/house sitter Matt Moore startled the cat when he ‘accidentally’ dropped a large pile of junk mail behind her. The unwanted post, which was initially intended for the kitchen counter, struck the floor tile in such a fashion that it startled the cat to near petrifaction. Once Godiva’s soul returned to her body, with great haste she made for the open doorway and into the drawing room. The true moment of shock and surprise occurred during the moments following the incident when Moore, subtly dazed by the display, asked that Godiva, “Quit being such a scared-y cat.” This unexpected pun, though innocent in nature, was enough to initiate a shared sense of indifference for Moore’s presence throughout the house.
