Without a doubt, Rowdy is THE most ornery cat, that I have ever had!
If there is someplace, that she's not supposed to be - she's there! If we don't want her to have something, she moves heaven and Earth to get it. Opie will be kicked back, minding his own business and Rowdy will jump on him. At bedtime, I get the dogs settled in, on "their" couch. Just as I am snuggled into my bed, the barking starts. When I go to investigate - there's Rowdy, on the kitchen side of the baby gate, teasing Pearl.
Bill uses braided elastics, to hold his ponytail. He has tried a number of methods, to keep Rowdy from stealing them: hanging them on a hook, in the bathroom; hiding them under something on the table and keeping them in the medicine cabinet. She gets them, every time. We have found them on the bathroom floor, in the tub and on both couches.
The battle of the Christmas tree has been the worst. Ornaments pulled off, branches out of their sockets, garlands and light strings tangled. Rowdy would sit and look me right in the eye and snag an ornament. The squirt bottle doesn't seem to be a deterrent - she LIKES to get wet!
She pushes things off of the table, for Pearl to chew up. We have to carefully stow writing pens, notepads and checkbooks. As soon as Bill sits down, with the bills and his checkbook, she plops on top of them and tries to run away with the bills.
Rowdy is darned lucky, that she is so cute and that Bill and I have soft spots for furries. The two most often heard phrases, in our house, are "Ilove you" and "Rowdy dammit!"
