the kitten chronicles - part 154

King of the Hill is currently very popular at Casa Big Cat. Not the Beavis and Buthead animated spin-off, the" who can get the highest?" game for house bragging rights. Rufus began this morning by perching ever-so delicately on top of the ironing board (while still folded and leaning up against the wall. Rooney countered by assuming a position on top of the leather chair (didn't really look too comfortable - but hey, this game isn't about comfort, it's about reaching for the sky.) Rufus then leaped to the top of the piano in retaliation (it's like the freakin' arms race at my house these days!) So Rooney leaped on the kitchen counter and knocked over the vase holding the chopsticks - smashing it on the floor. Basically this was conceding he couldn't get as high up as Rufus so what about a little meaningless destruction instead? Always a popular choice with the fur-faces. Frankly I could see the next couple of moves like a Grandmaster of Chess - Rufus climbs into the ceiling tile and Rooney knocks over the television. I fooled them both by going to work. Without an audience the game isn't nearly as fun. xxx dad
