I grinned and decided I might as well be a BIT helpful, since she WAS doing all the work hauling this stuff up and down. I walked back and forth between the boxes, sniffling, tail swishing.
"This one.." I said finally, patting the box with a paw.
Karyn raised an eyebrow. "And you're so sure because ?"
"Because.. this one smells like clothes.. And soap.. And you.. " I replied with a grin, quickly walking over to her and rubbing against her legs with a purr, sniffing her.
Karyn giggled. "Cut that out silly!" she said, leaning over to scratch my head. "You're acting more and more feline by the hour " she said with a wink, scratching my head.
"You're just jealous.. Of my great nose " I replied with a purr, tail swishing, eyes half closed. WAS I acting more and more like a real cougar? Maybe I was.. But at that particular moment, I had a hard time making myself care
"Hey! You were right!" Karyn exclaimed as she opened the box one handed.
"Of courrrrse I was.." I said with a lazy grin, rubbing my head against her hand. Her scratching felt very nice
"Ahhhh, all my normal clothes.. . What a relief! I didn't ant to spend the rest of the day wearing nothing but that rode Though it had its advantages " Karyn said, scratching my ears.
I made a pouty face and tried to look sad. It's rather difficult when you're busy purring. "Awwwwww " I said, grinning at her. I nipped at her towel a bit, tugging lightly with my teeth, but she kept it held up with a laugh and wagged a finger at me.
"Naughty naughty kitty! You ant to stare, you can do it when we go to bed." She said with a grin. "You're just lucky I can't stay mad at you like this, despite how 'helpful' you were with the boxes " She winked.
"Hey. . I helped.." I said through my purring.
"If you can call licking yourself clean and taking a nap helping " she replied with a giggle.
"Erm.. " I blushed a bit. "Sorry about that " What HAD come over me, acting like that? It seemed like a good idea at the time though.. Still did actually . My tail continues to swish as I looked up at Karyn.
"Oh, no big deal. You're actually kind of funny when you act like that." She said with a giggle. "And you look sooo cute napping in the sun " She giggled. "I almost wish I could have a REAL pet like you.. Or course, real pets don't talk.. OR try to look up my skirt " she said with a wink. "But tomorrow, back you go " she said with a small sigh.
I knew I should feel a bit abashed by her comment, but at the moment it didn't bother me at all. I just purred and grinned brazenly.
"Well, how about looking up your towel?" I asked, feeling mischievous. Before she could blink, I slid under Karyn a bit, lifting my head up between her legs to that her hips rested on my neck and shoulders, the towel folding under her mostly. I pursed and practically lifted her off her feet as I sat up
"JON!" Karyn gasped as I lifted her up a bit and she almost fell over." C. . Cut that out!" She said, giggling. "Your fur tickles!"
I purred at her and wiggled a bit, rubbing my fur against her legs, then slide my head back and lay down casually, purring and stretching a bit.
"Ooooooohhh.. you are.. In SUCH big trouble kitten.. " she said with a giggle, looking a bit worse for wear, hair in disarray.
"What?" I asked innocently with feline lack of concern. "I'm just doing what comes natural to any cute, fuzzy, male feline " I replied with a purr, yawning hugely. "besides, you know you can't stay angry with me like this.." I said, giving her a cute look.
"Hmph! We'll see about THAT!" Karyn replied with a mischievous grin. "Just for that, I'm going to "
