Meg Cabot - Henrietta, Miracle Pet - 2 views

    • Shelby Tomlinson
       
      This is part of Meg Cabot's diary. It is about the time Henrietta the one eyed cat tried to save her life.
  • Henrietta, Miracle Pet
  • But the fact that her primary owner was in an over-the-counter-sleep-aid-induced stupor and deaf to all sound did not dissuade Henrietta. She stalked across the bed from where she usually sleeps—on my feet—to my husband's ear, and went, “MEOW,” very loudly, waking him instantly.

  • Pet,” who wake up their owners when their baby is choking, or when they sense an electrical fire smoldering beneath the wall-to-wall carpet. And, okay, it turned out our lives were never in any danger.
  • But she THOUGHT she was saving our lives. And it's the thought that counts, right? Here is what happened: In the dead of night last night, our burglar alarm went off (yes, we have a burglar alarm. It came with the
  • house. I have never had a burglar alarm before, but I must say, it is quite handy, especially when I read in the paper about escaped convicts hiding in the Everglades, etc, since you so know Key West is their next stop).
  • I didn't hear the beeping. I will admit, in fact, that I slept through the whole thing, since, having been a complete insomniac since the age of 12, I had in Hearo ear plugs AND had taken a Sominex right after David Letterman in order to fall asleep.
  • I am shaking as I write this. Because it happened. It finally happened. Henrietta—yes, one-eyed Henrietta—saved our lives last night. Yes. Henrietta has proved at last that she is just as good as those animals on the TV show “Miracle
  • So he heard the beeping. Throwing on his robe (well, OK, he doesn't wear a robe, but whatever, it sounds more dramatic), he hurried downstairs to face the intruders who were trying to steal my plasma TV.
  • Except that there were no intruders. Because what had happened was that the alarm had run a routine diagnostic, realized one of the doors wasn't locked, and was beeping to let us know. Not the EAR DRUM PIERCING BEEPING that it does when it thinks someone has actually broken in (while simultaneously
  • summoning the police, which has happened more often than I would like to admit, including one time when we opened the front door to get the paper, forgetting the alarm was on, triggered it, turned it off, and were back inside, innocently eating breakfast, when two KWPD officers stormed in with their guns
  • drawn and yelled, “FREEZE!” And if you think I am exaggerating about this, you would be so, so wrong), but the gentle warning beep it uses to remind us when a door has been left unlocked. And okay, this doesn't necessarily constitute a life-threatening situation (where was Henrietta, for
  • instance, when the cops were trying to blow us away over our eggs and bacon?). But it was still a very big accomplishment for a cat whom I am often convinced might actually be retarded.
  • So please, wherever you are right now, take a moment to raise the glass of whatever you're drinking—coffee, Tab, absinthe—and toast Henrietta, the little one-eyed cat who last night, saved her owners' lives.
  • Or tried to, anyway. That's all. More later. Much love, Meg

    • Madddie Minter(:
       
      10 things you never knew about Meg Cabot(:
    • Madddie Minter(:
       
      1. She has a one-eyed cat called Henrietta. 2. Meg's cure for writer's block is eating cookies and watching TV for a few days in a row. Or until her Visa bill arrives. 3. Meg has written all her books in bed and she says the best thing about being a writer is that she can wear her pyjamas to work. 4. Her favourite food is plain cheese pizza. 5. Meg's biggest accomplishments so far include passing Algebra and owning her own house. 6. Star Wars changed her life when she was 11 years old. She says her greatest influence was the film's director George Lucas, because when she first saw Star Wars, she realized that you can actually make money from making stuff up. 7. Meg describes herself as "infectiously delightful", but she's sure there are others who would strongly disagree! 8. If Meg wasn't writing books she'd be a cartoonist or illustrator - she's got a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. 9. Two of Meg's books have been turned into films - The Princess Diaries and its sequel. Disney may also make All American Girl into a feature length film. 10. In her spare time (apart from watching TV and eating cookies!), Meg likes to go out and walk around New York City, which is where she lives as there is always something going on somewhere, and lots of nice things to eat while you are doing them.
