I have learned that Duke thinks long skirts are just blankets on legs and that he likes to hide under blankets on legs. I have also learned that when I put in my scary halloween contact lenses Sibohan hisses at me and run in the other room. I have also learned when she runs into the other room it is to get on top of somthing heigh enough that she can attack my face.

she does - you just don't see it!

BTW - my cats haven't figured out the child locks yet, so don't send LuckyGirl to my house!

I learned that too! I was saying "nooo, nooo nooo." And Luck was all "mrowwww mrowwwww" and the copy kitten with his high pitched "meeeew" there was NO sleeping in an extra hour....and they were still off this morning too.

Not only have the boys figured out how to get around child locks. They have broken them by hanging on them. Don't buy the cheep ones.

I have learned that there is no sound more motivating to speed feed, than the combined chorus of 6 screeching kittens who believe they are starving at 6 AM.

I have learned that a tin of Altoids being pushed off a dresser by a cat at 2:30 am will also make a horrible racket.

Nuh uh...might give me away!
In addition to my previous post: I have learned that when one cat is sick, you don't get a break because the other cat, no matter how sweet and well behaved they normally are, will take over where the other left off.

I learned to watch and make sure Rain goes pee while outside instead of being distracted and eating rabbit poop. This would "eliminate" (
) waking up the next morning to pee on the kitchen floor!

Last night I learned that one should apply fake eyelashes with both eyes open. It seems when closing 1 eye, a certain tabby toothbrushing observer will also be observing eyelash application, and may somehow manage to get a silver sparkly eyelash stuck in his whiskers....
I wish I had my camera close by for that one! But I was too worried about getting eyelash glue in my now open eyes while searching for the missing lash.

in the land of poutine and ice
I have learned:
  • That I must use a locker type padlock on the hamster cage as Boomer will open the little door and set him free if I don't - likewise, I must put something heavy over the little slot where the water bottle goes or he will push the bottle through to let him out.
  • That Boomer and Peanut the Hamster are a dangerous combination and them being out and running around together will leave the usually ferocious Magnum shaking in his cute furry knickers
  • That I am not to install lever type faucets as Boomer will turn them on and if the plus happens to be in the sink or tub then I will come home to a flooded floor.
  • That I am not to let the food bag get less than 1/4 full or Magnum will start pawing it to remind me that its time to go shopping
  • That the ice cubes I supply in their water bowl to help keep them cool in summer are never used for that purpose but make a great toy
  • That Bumper must have space to sleep beside me and I must hold his paw while we sleep or he will walk all over me until I wake up and allow him to sleep like that
  • That they can count treats and will know if one of them gets even one treat more than the others
  • That it is very impolite to turn on a light in the bathroom at night - Boomer is trying to sleep in the tub!
  • That the bathroom is a very scary place (to the extent that Boomer will live in it to scare away the tpilet monster) and I must be accompanied by at least 2 cats on all visits to said bathroom - as must visitors.
I think that is all for now

I have learned that having tabbies and torties means that the same cat hair will complement (i.e. show up) anything I wear.

That I should put clothes away after laundering them because one cat will put them away on the landing in the front door.

That a golf ball rolling around at 2am makes a horrible racket and if I don't hear that then Carly will tell me that she is playing with something by yelling MERROW, MERROW

I have l learned that my lap must always be available. Anything on top of it will be pushed out of the way.

that reminds me - Pixel has taught me something... that she prefers ice water to regular water at all times, & assumes when she hears ice coming out of the dispenser that it is for her

Black and white cats and calicos mean the same thing.

That's... a rather important lesson.
