Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006They're just like kids...
I left a glass of Diet Dr Pepper on the table and went to turn on the computer. There was this thunking noise and... We're not talking about a little spill here. We're talking about Dr. Pepper on the table, the chair, the floor, the WALLS, seeping into my stuff, splattered across my stereo, etc... So I'm doing damage control trying to get Dr P off my books and electronics first, and then my newly recovered chairs and then the rug and then the tabletop...and I KNOW it was a bittie, I just don't know which. Tyche is the usual suspect, but she likes to gently put her paw in and pull it down to drink. THIS kind of "blast pattern" suggests the glass got less tipped, more FLIPPED. And I've seen Kumani on the table in the past few days as well as Tyche. So I'm short a can's worth of Dr P, had to throw out some things that were just too soaked to save, and had a half hour's work trying to dry out the chair... This is what parents of human children go through, isn't it? > This is what parents of human children go through, isn't it? Nahhh. Kids grow up, eventually. Cats, on the other hand ...

Cats, on the other hand ... They do? When please. I can hardly wait. I'll even settle for them learning that if you spill a soda, and just wipe it up, it WILL leave a sticky spot. Charlie has been having a rough time of it lately. A broken loose tooth and a long wait to get into the oral surgeon. So he has been consoling himself with more than a little Bourbon and Ginger Ale. I've requested that he use larger glasses or make smaller drinks. I really don't care how many. But no, he must make them to where they slosh out on the tile. Thank heaven its tile.

Admittedly, I don't have experience with child-rearing. Also admittedly, this lesson didn't occur to me until someone (you? maybe Lori) mentioned it on this group a couple of years ago.

I'm sure it wasn't one of the bitties, they wouldn't do such a thing ;-) much more likely it was a greebling and the bittie did their best to stop it.

MLB Yep, and they wouldn't admit it either! lol sandra > and I KNOW it was a bittie, I just don't know > which I always know which of mine did the deed. If Pi did it, he'll be hiding under the bed while Doc 'helps' me investigate and clean up the mess. If Doc did it, Pi will still be hiding under the bed, but Doc will be nonchalantly sitting in the window throwing only occasional glances back into the room. Chak SignatureOnce we thought the earth was flat-- What of that? It was just as globos then Under believing men As our later folks have found it, By success in running round it; What we think may guide our acts, But it does not alter facts. -- Charlotte Perkins Gilman, poet, author, freethinker What's better is when your three year old boy drinks from your coffee cup. Which gives him the tinkles and the bouncing off the walls wide awake for the next six or seven hours. This I've heard from friends who have three year old boys, coffee, and walls. Where the adults get a lift from coffee, kids get helium inflated, and you have to scrape them off the ceiling with a spatula and tie them to an anvil. SignatureChristopher A.
