Rick just called to me from the next room to ask what the heck I was laughing so loudly about

I called my BF and just told him 'see Boomer isn't the only one' except then I had to explain the whole thing because he isn't home to look at the thread
The things I find behind the TV

The only reason I found out about the banana is he was attempting to drag a SECOND one. I thought that cats didn't like bananas because their skin was bitter, but not my 8-Bit.

I've realized I'm not getting my pet deposit back.

I have to run over to Home Depot today and see if I can replace them.
Oh no

My girls are angels it seems
We paid a $300 pet deposit which covers both girls, and it's refundable providing they don't ruin the place. So far they've only ruined our couches and dining chairs... They do occasionally stretch on one of the screens, which has a few little marks on it now, but hopefully that won't ruin our deposit!

Mine wreck the screens - even without pawing at them, Magnum hits it with his butt all the time and its starting to come away from the edges AGAIN.

As for the bananas - cats are weird and I don't think its possible to say what they do and do not like

At least he is creative with his menace! I love the banana and bra thing too!!


I can understand the sounds of hearing something crashing down..Usually with my boys, I am in the next room and go to investigate only to see one or all calmly padding away from the scene of the crime!!
They all work together on a scheme it seems...

Yes, the carpet is stained, but that's because I'm a klutz that drinks a lot of coffee. The blinds I can replace, but I know that the apartment manager is going to make up stuff just so he can fix my apartment with out spending his own money.
It's the price I pay for living in a cheep-o place while trying to save for a house.
also, those tide to go pens are AWESOME on coffee stains!!! Never used them on a rug, but I have used them on the chair fabric in my office & it worked like a charm!!! I have 1 in the car, 1 in the kitchen drawer, 1 in my desk..... I swear by them!

One time, years ago, I heard a crash in the bathroom. I check and find the window cracked - and every cat sound asleep in another part of the house.

1. He spit his medicine back at me. (I didn't think that cats could spit, I found out the hard way)

2. He presented my bra to my friends to get back at me for taking him to the vet.

3. He stashed a banana behind the TV.

4. He thinks that mini blinds are Mt Everest.

For his next trick I think he'll perform open heart sugary on his Purrpa. I wouldn't put it past him.
This proves what I just said in another thread. Someone needs to do respit care for people with sassy cats!
I knew I was not the only one who needs a break from time to time. No matter how much I love Jordan there are days I threaten to send him to kitty boot camp.
The truth is I'd miss him too much, but it sure would be nice to be able to send him away for one night so I could get some sleep.
(I have to say that my favorite is the bra!
)
