Nigel Versus the Sock of Doom

james_davis_nicollWhat began as a simple hop onto the couch took a terrible turn when Nigel, still in mid-leap caught sight of a sock on the couch he clearly had not expected to see there. Rather than risk contact with the sock, he bounced off the couch cushion towards the back of the couch, where he could observe it in safety. Sadly, instead of aiming for the top of the back of couch, he landed nimbly on the vertical back. Worse, the couch cover is not fixed to the couch so it promptly fell off as Nigel fell back towards the waiting sock.
He started hissing desperately on his way towards the sock.
There was some confusion when he landed back on the couch but the upshot is he, the blanket and the sock ended up on the floor. He fiercely warned the sock not to attack, then perhaps sensing he had the upper hand over his foe, gingerly prodded the sock and then smacked it a few times with great force. He appears to have concluded this was a victory.
Sometime in the middle of all this his brother Rufus came running in to see what was wrong with his brother; since all he could see was his brother, a familiar blanket and a sock he seemed to completely at a loss as to what was causing the fuss....
Later on, Nigel encountered the sock again and gain it a firm smack to remind it who was in charge.

All of these memories of old TV shows will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
