the kitten chronicles - part 65

The boys fascination with water took a calamitous turn last night. I was filling a pint glass with water from the Cedar Springs cooler and Rufus, attracted by that much water all in one place, leapt at the glass and knocked it out of my hand smashing it. Glass and water were all over the kitchen floor. A time-out was required for the boys while clean-up ensued. It's bad enough when I find muddy footprints in every sink in the house, but when a man can't even enjoy a simple,re-hydrating glass of water, well this is too much. Sam has observed this and now has to be wary about soaking her bras in case a kitten takes a bath in the basin full of Secrets from you Sister finery. All it would take for the boys to be banished permanently would be for Sam to have a single bra shredded by razor-sharp kitten claws. Hence, the door to the laundry room is now firmly closed. I'm thinking of filling the bathtub and letting them try some real swimming out - I think they'd love the rubber duckies. I know the Big Cat does. xxx dad
