the kitten chronicles - part 121

Today is the day before "Nuppin" day. A very big day for the boys. I have to hide their food and water after midnight tonight. And have them delivered to the operating theatre by 8 tomorrow morning. When they awake it will be a whole new world. One where Sam's purse can safely be placed on the floor without fear of territorial markings. Also in many cases I've heard the nuppinless feline is more docile and tends to lie around all day. I'm not sure how the boys could possibly sleep more but I'm sure they'll do their darnedest to squeeze in a couple more hours of shut-eye. I have trained them successfully to lie in the giant Betty bowl when I'm working at the dining room table - otherwise they get heaved onto the ground if they try to bat at my pen or lie on my pad of paper to prevent me from working. So now they leap into the bowl and get patted as their reward. Small problem. Only one cat fits in the bowl at a time. So it's first come first served at the Casa Big Cat and tough kibble for the slow cat who doesn't immediately jump in the bowl as soon as I sit down. Wonder if Betty has another huge bowl? This kitty casserole thing is going over huge! xxxdad
