the kitten chronicles - part 168

Do cats have a sense of humor? Maybe. Yesterday I turned on the water in the kitchen sink for the boys like usual. And Rufus has learned how to turn off the water by sitting on the handle. So Rooney is trying to drink from the tap and Rufus sits on the handle. No water. I swear Rufus smiled at his very pissed off brother staring at him. Cat pranks could accelerate from here. Now Rooney will dip his brother's paw in warm water while he's sleeping causing him to pee. Hilarious! Rufus will retaliate by placing a whoopee cushion on the pillow by the front window. Rooney's next step will be carefully putting a layer of Saran Wrap over the litter box. Rufus counters by offering his brother an exploding cigar. Rooney responds by inviting his brother to sniff the flower on his lapel- and then it sprays him with water! Rufus offers to shake and make up - but he has a buzzer hidden in his paw! This is all well and good just as long as they don't involve the Big Cat in their practical jokes. The day they put shaving cream in my tennis shoes will be their last day on earth. This I solemnly promise. xxx dad
