Evil baby Kittens....
"RobZip" wrote in message ... snipped Spot has taken the role of scout - always on the lookout for new things the gang can tear the hell out of. Yesterday he discovered a large vase with peacock feathers protruding from the top. He passed them out to his littermates and a great time was had by all tearing them up. Imagine if you will - 1 kitten on the floor with a huge feather rolled up around him while 3 littermates each try to escape through the doorway with a 3 foot long feather *sideways* in their mouths. Video of this would be good. snipped Today was Tear Up Rob's Office Day - a spinoff of take the kids to work day. For a brief period all 4 kittens were in my home office, prowling the lab tables, desks, and computers. Various decor on the walls had been removed and inspected, disassembled, destroyed. Finally a box containing a motherboard and a few hard drives crashed to the floor capturing my attention. Funny thing.... stopping in the hallway outside and bellowing "What in the hell is this mocky horse**** going on in here!!!" will produce a stream of high velocity red, furry, puffed up tails in full escape mode streaming through and past my feet in hasty exit. Good - they grasp the concept of having screwed up. No harm done.... Oh, they grasp the idea of what's verboten all right, but they won't let it deter them the next time - provided a human isn't within their line of sight! ;-) Cathy |

Shaina appeared out of nowhere inspecting the roses and gently touching them with her paws. my roommate had a cuteness attack. "look, isn't that pretty? she's so adorable". i told her in a morbid voice that she is going to kill those roses. Umpteen years ago, I woke up one morning to find a pastel glop on the floor next to my bed. I put on my glasses & found that it was pastel kitty puke - prettiest cat puke one is ever likely to see. Got up, went into the DR, & the vase of pink & lavender asters that had been there the day before was now a vase of aster stems, completely denuded of petals. And obviously ingested by Sabina (cat), & then very obviously rejected by Sabina's stomach. Cathy |

"Cathy Friedmann" wrote in message ... I don't share the sentimental attachment my wife does for various schlock decor items. Translation: your wife's none too thrilled that you didn't rescue the peacock feathers before they were history? Something like that... Truth of the matter is that the feathers were history before I was aware of their demise. It was a silent attack. |

Never a dull moment.
You're gonna miss those babies. Have you decided on one to take? Who took the first-born male?
