I have figured that the main reasons kittens (i.e. Lilly Whiskers) are
so cute, is so that

1. You don't kill them after they've tried to kill you by gassing out
your study by using the litter box.

2. You don't kill them after they've peed on your bed.

3. You don't kill them when they climb up the curtains and scream for
mommy to get them down when they're stuck, resulting in mommy getting a
ladder up the stairs, banging and chipping the paint work on the wall,
and breaking the curtain rail as you try to rescue said kitten...

4. You don't kill them when they fall head first into the sink full of
dirty washing up water, jump out and splatter dirty water all over the
clean kitchen surfaces.

5. You don't murder them when they chase the "big cat" (HRFL) through
the kitchen, and make him knock mommy so that her coffee goes all over
the new rug when she trips over him.

6. You don't kill them when they pull the plant over and get soil
everywhere because they were trying to hang off the leaves....

Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon that Lilly is so *happy*, but
sheesh, it's like she's taken the hoolikitten handbook, read it from
cover to cover and then invented some new ideas!!!
