Arrrgghhh! Kitties!!

Published on July 28, 2004 By dharmagrl In Pets & Nature

I've placed an ad in the base newspaper to give these kittens we have away to good homes. It starts on Friday...not a day too soon as far as I'm concerned!

They are driving me insane. They're corralled in my half bathroom when no-one is available to keep an eye on them, but when someone's around they get let out to roam around my living room. They get into everything. They climb, they fight, they tumble off of stuff...they knock things down and get under the furniture...they chew on electrical cords and use my legs as a scratching post.

Earlier I was sitting at the computer and they were playing around my feet. Somehow they managed to turn the power supply to the tower off twice, then they knocked over some papers I had piled up ready to get filed, along with a stack of CD's I had out waiting to get copied. Well, here, see for yourselves:

This is Madame Fuzzlebutt looking at the stuff she just knocked down...the stripey one is Rupert, her partner in crime for this evening.

This is Fuzzlebutt and Rupert in the middle of the fight that caused the stuff to get knocked down in the first place.

They really are the sweetest little things, and they're very cute...but they're miniature weapons of mass destruction, able to turn a neat and tidy living room or computer desk into a disaster zone within seconds!

Anyone want a kitten?! Please?!

Hurricane Rupert and Hurricane Fuzzlebutt? Hmm...

I have three kittles willingly (well, ok semi-willingly). Nicodemus is the crotchety old man and had to lay the smack-down on the younger two occasionally.

Misty is the rough-love, in-your-face one. She just likes to tear around the house. Oh, and she likes to climb into this glass bowl we have.

Pepper is the thumb-tack thief. She likes to pilfer the thumbtacks off the cork-board above the desk and place them strategically around the house where we are most likely to impale ourselves upon one.

*wipes coffee off her monitor*...that's hilarious, Froggy! She really does look like a demon!!

Our older cat, Miss Kitty, is grouchy as well, and she has to keep the other cat and now these kittens in order. She mostly sits on top of the refrigerator and growls..occasionally she'll come down and smack someone around, but not very often.

The kittens climbed up my PJ leg as I was on the loo peeing this morning. *sigh* Nothing's sacred to them, it seems...

My boyfriend's roommate's cat, Rekki, looks just like Rupert (wish I had a pic!), and he's the sneakiest pet I know-- just the other day, I watched him as he peered over at a plate of sushi that my bf had on a table. Seeing a pack of cigarettes on the opposite side, he smacked it to the floor. My bf was gullible enough to pick it up and put back in the same spot. This happened three times, with Rekki creeping closer and closer to the sushi. After watching and laughing hysterically at my bf, I took the sushi away from both of them. He is not only an expert in diversion tactics, but seems to have caught on to appreciate a Rube Goldberg process to getting items that he so desires (he couldn't open a shelf with a magnetic "lock", so he found a spatula to wedge it open from the edge and then knocked over a bowl to hit the spatula, and voila!)
