ARCHER!!!!
That kitten is going to be the death of me (or him) yet! He is SUCH a KLUTZ
and he is into everything. This morning I was in my office, which is off the garage on the other side from the main house, reading the group and petting Ozzy who was laying in my lap. All of sudden we heard a HUGE CRASH. I jumped three inches and Ozzy left tread marks down my legs trying to get out of the way of the house falling down around us (or so it seemed from the sound). I saw an orange streak out of the corner of my eye - Archer running like all the demons in h*ll were on his tail. I ran to the door to see what damage he had done this time. It seems he had decided to climb the metal ladder we have leaning against a wall in the garage. The ladder was lying on the floor and I can only assume Archer leaped away in time to prevent it from crushing him. I have NO idea how he managed to move such a heavy object out and away from the wall on which it was leaning - it was at a 30 degree angle so he had to push away from the wall really hard (I had a hard time lifting it back up again!). The ladder is not leaning against the wall in a safer, sideways position. Archer is running around, unfazed with his close encounter with death, and Ozzy and I are still shaking! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

Archer is ^^^^ now, of course - amazing how one little typo can completely change the meaning of a sentence. running around, unfazed with his close encounter with death, and Ozzy and I are still shaking! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

He is SUCH a KLUTZ and he is into everything. snip And I thought Sam (who doesn't have the excuse of being a kitten; he must be around 2 years old) was bad! He's always knocking stuff over. This morning, it was the top shelf in the back porch - this is on three brackets with a kind of lip to stop the shelf from slipping, and survived about 15 years with Mandy and Betsy - and I thought Mandy was very active and into things in her young days. The shelf was knocked off the brackets, and an assortment of heavy, rarely-used objects such as an axe, a saw, and some flowerpots were scattered over the washer, dryer, hot water heater and floor. Sam was leaving the area as I arrived, looking a bit skittish and no wonder! He's now sleeping peacefully like a total innocent. I wonder how many of his 9 lives he used up in the year or so before he moved in here, considering how things here seem to collapse under his paws? Cheryl |

OMG! I can only imagine that sound of that crash!! It always amazes me how our fur babies can escape w/out a scratch on them, and a look on their faces as if they were no where near said crash!! Redunzel is always falling off things when she was a kitten she had this habit of climbing on top of the bookcase in the bedroom (still a favourite for both of them, Sarsi's asleep up there now) and when she saw a Hoomin she would roll about, yowling to demand skritchies and many's the time, she would be so determined to reach the Hoomin hand (it goes without saying this is a tall bookcase and standing on tiptoe I could just reach her chin) she would roll over and straight off. She once dragged an old pillow to the base of the bookcase and we thought "how cute, she's making herself a little bed" but after a week or so we concluded she'd done it so she would have a soft landing Well recently we had cupboards fitted in the kitchen and of course, being a high place (and near the window so she could get some Sun as well- how nice of us to have fitted this extra amenity for her!) it is instantly attractive to a cat whose favourite vantage point in the living room is the top of the door! (through thankfully she hasn't tried sleeping on it!) So now we have an added danger in the kitchen- never mind sharp knives, boilinhg water etc. We have a dive bombing cat! Worse of all, if she's in the corner of one of the cupboard tops, she can't be seen so there I am making a cup of coffee and THUMP!!!! Redunzel plummets past me! Or on one occasion landed on my head! We just have to hope she gets bored of it and wear crash helmets in the kitchen until she does Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Neither of my girls are kittens any longer, but they had a real attack of the "zoomies" a couple of nights ago. First they knocked over the floor lamp in my living room (fortunately it missed the computer monitor, and all the lightbulbs remained intact and functional). Next I heard a "crash!" from the bedroom and when I investigated found my desk lamp on the floor. It's the kind that has various nooks and crannies for pencils, etc. so all that stuff was scattered on the floor, wall-to-wall. I love my cats, but there are times...... |

Sarsi's speciality is the radio clock in the bedroom- if the manufacturers wanted a testimony as it it's durability I could provide one!
