Some may remember Clyde's adventure in the hot spa bath or even the
adventures of B & C when they went swimming in the washtub.  I have a
new one.

DH is very careful when he cooks his poached eggs and always immediately
emmpties the pan after cooking.  There is about an inch or more of
boiling water in the pan.  

Yesterday he forgot. B & C were curled up neatly in their usual bookend
position in a chair in the lounge.  Suddenly there was a terrible
scream.   We dashed out to the kitchen.
Bonnie had jumped up on the stove, fair into the middle of the boiling
water!!!  "But she was nowwhere in sight" wailed DH.
"I always put it away normally".

Bonnie has the ability to make you feel awful and guilty.  She
kept shaking her paws and licking her pads.   She kept jumping on me and
yowling something to the effect of "why are my paws hurting and why did
you do this to me!!"  

I am happy to report that her pads seem fine this morning but we have
had the lesson reinforced.   Never, ever, ever, leave boiling water
anywhere near a Burmese :(
