Foof

I have a foof on my lap. She seems to be very happy.

Unfortunately for her... I have to leave in 30 minutes to take cb to ballet.

Think she'll ever forgive me?

Yikes!

I was in the loft today on the computer and a movement caught the corner of my eye.

I looked over and it was Arnold! walking on the banister of the loft!

I tried to be calm and not make him nervous.

He got himself down safely.

I heard a door...

After I dried my hair I was in the fliving room when I heard a door thump.

"That sounds like a cabinet door", said I. Audrey was carefully crouched in the fliving room but looking into the kitchen. "What's he doing in there?", I asked Audrey. "It's not me! I didn't start it!", she said and away she ran.

I tiptoed into the kitchen and there was Arnold! Halfway into the cabinet under the sink! All I could see was cute kitty butt.

"Arnold!"

He was NOT pleased when I removed him.

(I've been in the loft for about 20 minutes now... wonder what he's up to? Dare I go check?)

I heard a clink...

I was sitting in the dining room doing some paperwork and I heard a clink in the sink (hey! that rhymes!) I thought it was just a bowl settling or something.

Then I heard someone drinking water from their dish. "How cute!", I thought.

Then I thought, "Wait a minute. That sounds really loud to be someone drinking from their bowl..." I went to check and, sure enough, it was Arnold in the sink, drinking the water from the cat food can from breakfast.

Arnold!

He wasn't very pleased when I removed him from the sink.

Bubble Wrap

Yes, the merps accidentally discovered what bubble wrap can do.

They were going psycho and running back and forth and generally doing their psycho thing when, all of a sudden, POP! Somebody must have stepped really hard on a bubble or else stretched on it or something. Whatever.

Well. You should have seen the scurrying and mad dash of fur that went flying by me as they left the foyer!

But they seem to have recovered.

But, now that you mention it... they haven't spent much time in the foyer today...

Kitties And The Tub

Arnold hopped into the bathtub this morning so, just to see what he would do, I turned on the water very lightly.

He was fascinated. He would try to stop the water from dropping into the tub then shake his paw violently. He would put his head close to the water to investigate then get sprinkled on the head then shake violently. He would try to stop the water from going down the drain.

Foof came over to see what was going on. She stayed on the rim of the tub. She fwapped the water stream and ended up splashing water on Arnold's head which startled him and caused him to shake his head violently then groom his face with his paw.

They both were very serious about their investigation. When I turned the water off the faucet made a little noise so that brought their attention down to where I was and they had to investigate the cold water faucet.

When I left they were still investigating the tub.

I found an Arnold whisker on my bed

... so I kept it.
