Arrrgh!!

I am trying so hard not to be mad at Peanut right now...

I came home from work and discovered that he tore (literally tore) my Sailor Saturn wall scroll down. He's never done anything remotely like that- I've got wall scrolls all over my office and in the hallway- but today he tore that one down.

My dad bought it for me when I was 15 and now it's ruined.

That cat is gonna get the petting of his life... argh!

Yikes! Yep, I've been there.

Do what I do:
While your petting, talk to him in the same voice you always do, except say "I hate you, yes I do. And if I catch you tearing down my posters again, I'm gunna choke you right here, *scratching his chin and petting his neck* yea, right here. I'm gunna choke you."

Too much? xD

So far since Spencer and Katie arrived, I'm down:

1. a ceramic faery;
2. a glass telephone table;
3. a decorative ceramic bowl that was bought for me in Japan;
4. a casserole dish;
5. three casserole dish lids
6. two plates;
7. two glasses;
8. a ceramic lamp;
9. a glass lined thermos;
10. three terra cotta plant pots;

And I'm sure there is more! lol

That's kind of what I did- I picked him up and gave him a big hug and said "You are a bad, bad kitty! Yes, you are! You ruined my wallscroll!" Of course he had no idea what I was saying, he just liked the cuddles.

I know how you feel.

Many years ago, when the RugCats were RugKittens, Ms. Pepe was nicknamed the PepMonster. There was a reason for that. She was always into trouble.

She knocked down a small ceramic figurine from the bow window ledge. It landed on a large ceramic owl that I had made. Knocked the poor owl's ear off. The owl is now sitting outside by the basement window. I put him there in desperation one year when a bird kept slamming itself into the window trying to "kill" its own reflection. Never saw the bird again.

Ms. Pepe knocked down a glass light full of seashells. Broke the light and scattered the seashells all over the bedroom. My parents had given me that light years before.

When the computer was still in the kitchen, we pulled the desk away from the wall and covered it in sheets because we were painting. Came home from buying paint to see that Ms. Pepe had chewed through the mouse's cord to the computer. Of course, I had to tell the Staples guy that my cat ate my mouse!

Oh, and she was the one who was lying on top of the tv cabinet. Went to jump down, got a claw caught in the doily and brought the doily with her to the floor. The problem was that a beautiful crystal basket was on the doily and that came to the floor, too. On its way, it hit the living room wall and crashed into the register. And broke into shards. And while I was cleaning basket pieces from Ms. Pepe's escapade that afternoon, Banshee was in the kitchen eating tuna that I had been draining for a tuna casserole. The cats won that day.

Ms. Pepe got into the space between our stereo receiver and the shelf above it, got stuck and couldn't get back out. Started hollering for somebody to come rescue her....at 3:00 in the morning. Didn't phase her at all; she did the exact same thing later on the next afternoon. With the same result.

I forgot about Amber Louise who decided she didn't want to go to the vet. She climbed the bedroom curtains to get away from me. When the valance came crashing to the floor, I was able to get Amber and got her into the carrier.

And then there's our Mollipop who literally tore the paint and drywall away from the wall. In the bedroom. In three different places. Oh, and in the bathroom, too. Only two places there.

I can go on and on, but you get the idea. Cats are the most frustrating, troublesome, bad, adorable furballs in the world!

oi. Can that scroll be found again? I've been searching for a certain Hellsing scroll that I saw at a convention years ago (should've gotten it then), and never saw it again, lol.

Monet knocked over a heavy dragon statue I had, and landed into a large floor vase and shattered them both. That was the only thing he's destroyed in the 2 years he's been here (unless you count him destroying countless toilet paper, paper towel rolls and wrapping paper?)

How about this one!!! Presley (I know it was him because I caught him )decided to chew on the bed post and corners of foot board of our brand new bedroom furniture. We bought a new set for our twentieth wedding anniversary. YEP, some chew marks !!! I have to try to hide them from Larry Bought some bitter apple ointment and spread it on the wood. I would prefer to have something broken over than the chewing on the bed problem

I am now replacing three shades because Kiefer has chewed through the strings such that I can no longer raise or lower two of them (the top-down/bottom up), and another will only stay open if I strap a belt around it. I've been crocheting baby blankets and he will chew through the string and I have to start a row over so I can join a new string on it.

We have been on poop watch all of the time with this little guy and all I can say is that he is so darn cute.

I haven't seen it anywhere- though granted I haven't looked for it until now, grumble. I checked eBay and there are some Sailor Saturn wallscrolls, but they aren't the same. ;;

Maia loves to chew and tear paper when the mood strikes her....for instance when she wants to wake me up for morning feeding .... I think Peanut was probably bored and unfortunately your scroll was the lucky target... Basically he has warned you that no matter how cute and snugly he is, you better keep beloved material items out of his reach

If only you could hear the obscenities I call the boys in a sweet, sing-songy voice when they tick me off.

My girls broke the blinds at our apartment. If the last manager would have let me raise them about 12 inches all the time, they never would have broken them. The current apartment manager informed us that they were replacing them and we had to pay for them now. She lets us raise them so the girls wont break them.

I thought they were going to be expensive as they are thick vertical blinds, but it only cost $55 for the 2 blinds and installation. The installation cost more than the blinds!

The girls tore the lining of my bed foundation and have clawed the foundation too! They clawed the futon too. But oh well, they are our babies.

Peanut has also broken blinds, and he completely destroyed the cover on the box spring of the guest bed. He chewed up my flip-flops (cats chew things up like dogs, I swear!) and chewed up my music theory homework one day (yes, I handed it in and said 'the cat tried to eat it but I stopped him'- the professor had a good long laugh over that one...)

... but he is my buddy and I wouldn't give him up for anything. Even if he does destroy things.
