Sigh.
All she wants is some rest. Some privacy, for goodness sake.
Yet, there they are, always checking in on her, petting her, talking to her, chattering away about nothing, disturbing her.
And the camera. The ultimate outrage.
She has made it clear how she feels about the camera, very clear indeed. But for some reason, the other beings in this house, especially the one with long hair, keep hauling it out.
She has tried everything. She looks away. She walks away. She does everything but smash the lens.
But you see, don’t you? Despite her protests, the camera came out, invaded her privacy, and now these photos will be all over the internet.
Don’t these people have a life?
She remembers Greta Garbo and her desire to be left alone. She identifies with her.
This is the price she pays for her beauty.
Happy Tuesday.

Claudia, tell Scout to talk to my cat, Widget. He has the solution. When he wants to be alone, he hides on a bench in the back of our closet. We still pester him, but not as much…
Claudia says
Hmmm. I bet she’ll be speaking to Widget very soon.
Nancy Moreland says
Scout looks like she is saying ” Is it Christmas yet? Has Santa come? No……wake me when he gets here!”
Hugs
Claudia says
She might well be, Nancy!
Debbie Price says
Tell Scout it could be worse: he could be wearing reindeer ears or a Father Christmas hat! The price of fame!
Hugs to Scout :)
Claudia says
Thankfully, the reindeer ears are long gone. Winston used to have to wear them!
Vera says
Such great pictures of Dame Scout — thanks for sharing even if she would rather you did not – lol. She is a bit like Greta Garbo, isn’t she?
Claudia says
Oh, she sure is, Vera!
Susie says
Claudia, Seems Scout was planning a nap. :):) Hope she’s doing well. I am sending Christmas wishes to you and Don. Enjoy the time together. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Claudia says
She’s always planning a nap, Susie!
Linda @ A La Carte says
I can see it in her face, I wan’t to be alone! Her beauty can’t be kept hidden, it must be shared. Hugs to you and Scout!
Linda
Claudia says
Same to you and Charlie, Linda!
Kathy says
She is a Dame after all! ! She is a cutie.
Claudia says
Yes, she is a Dame and she never lets us forget it!
Nancy in PA says
Oh, how I love that dog.
She’s entitled to be something of a diva at this point, don’t you think?
Claudia says
Well, she thinks she’s entitled to be a diva!
LuvWheaties says
She lives with actors. She’s obviously picked up a few things.
Claudia says
I have a feeling we could learn a few things from her!
Nancy Blue Moon says
I thought of Greta Garbo when I saw the first picture..lol..that pose is perfect for “I vant to be alone”..lol..Thanks for the laugh Miss Scout..or Miss Drama Queen..
Claudia says
Oh, she’s full of drama!
ladyhawthorne says
My cats don’t seem to care, even when I use a flash. Maybe because they are usually sleeping.
Hey, is that Don in the commercial with the vintage cars and elephant? It looks like him.
Claudia says
No. Don’t we wish!
Missy says
Cute post..I think Max and Mollie get a little tired of being photographed as well…but ..they are always present and camera worthy much to their dismay..Have a wonderful Christmas Claudia..
Claudia says
You too, Missy! Merry Christmas!
Janet in Rochester says
Here’s hoping everyone at Mockingbird Hill Cottage has a quiet, restful, enjoyable and blessed Christmas… and “God bless us, everyone…”
PS – Pity them, Scoutie. They truly are helpless in the face of your charm.
Claudia says
Merry Christmas to you, Janet!
SandiC says
I love your very charming and clever posts from Dame Scout! They always make me smile :)
Claudia says
Good! That makes me (and Scout) very happy.
Shirley says
She looks so sweet and comfortable there on the sofa.
Claudia says
She loves her sofa!
Deb says
Smiles. Please give Scout’s ears a scruff from Lolo’s mama.
Claudia says
Will do!
Just Cats says
She sure is a beauty with just a tinge of attitude. Love it. Give her a hug for me. Deb
