the kitten chronicles - part 54

Slightly weary from the long weekend and gimpy-kneed from 3 rounds of tennis I bade farewell to the boys this morning. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do", I called happily to them. They looked up at me their eyes huge and moist like I'd just destroyed their day. And I thought of course, virtually everything they like to do, I wouldn't do. Like ripping dried flowers out of vases. Spreading rubber bands all over the kitchen floor. Chasing a highlighter marker around the counter until the cap comes off and yellow markings get everywhere. Drinking from the toilet. Climbing up the curtain in the bedroom. Batting at plants until the leaves fall off. And using the wing chair as a nail sharpener. In fact, the only thing that I do that they like to do is have a nap. Man, the Big Cat is incredibly boring, they think. And that's why they never follow my advice. xxx dad
