24 toes can cause a lot of trouble, especially when they’re connected the mind of a kitten.\u00c2\u00a0 I love Max dearly, but this living-with-a-kitten thing is new to me.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m used to staid, tired older cats who loll around most of the day.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Max found the steel wool next to the kitchen sink while we were out running errands.\u00c2\u00a0 He doesn’t appear to have suffered any ill effects, but he sure did a number on that poor piece of now-discarded steel wool.<\/p>\n
This morning I went to fill up my Camelbak water bottle, and couldn’t find the squishy little tip that you’re supposed to drink through.\u00c2\u00a0 After taking it out of the dishwasher, I had laid the three bottle pieces out on the first shelf of the upper kitchen cabinet to dry.\u00c2\u00a0 Ophy and Pippa have never touched anything in the cabinets (we don’t have cabinet doors), so I didn’t give it a second thought.\u00c2\u00a0 But, blech, I will from now on.\u00c2\u00a0 The squishy little drinking tip was under our oven, all covered in lint and yucky stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 Yuck yuck yuck.\u00c2\u00a0 To his credit, Max supervised and “helped” while I fished it out.<\/p>\n
And yesterday morning, Max “helped” Jim scoop the litterboxes.\u00c2\u00a0 We use Feline Pine, and Jim sifts the used sawdust out into a bag for disposal.\u00c2\u00a0 As Jim was working, Max watched attentively…then pounced on the bag, sending an enormous puff of urine-laced sawdust up into Jim’s face.\u00c2\u00a0 (Once more, Jim proved what a great guy he is – mad as hops, but didn’t say a harsh word to little Max.)<\/p>\n
So cute, but so troublesome.\u00c2\u00a0 Ah, little guy, what will we do with you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
