the kitten chronicles - part 189

Bee just pointed out that it is is now a full year since the fur brains came to live with me. We picked up 2 small fluffy kittens last Mother's Day and the rest.. well, the rest has been semi-faithfully reported in this blog. Many pieces of smashed pottery later the boys still reside at Casa Big Cat and I had to grudgingly admit I would miss their company if they weren't around. This weekend one or the other of the boys was missing at various points in the day. Saturday morning I couldn't find Rooney so I started to search the house. No sign. Finally I went up into my bedroom and discovered the curtains lying in a heap on the floor the curtain rod knocked off its holder. I called Rooney and heard a small meow in reply muffled by yards of thick fabric. It turns out Rooney was trapped inside the lining of the curtains and couldn't get out. He'd probably been in there for an hour. When I managed to get him out he ran full speed out of the room and down the stairs no doubt to warn his brother about the cat-eating curtains in the forbidden room. You'd think that would be enough drama for one weekend but Sunday he went missing again and I found him trapped in the hall closet. Imagine this has been going on for a year now. I wouldn't have it any other way. EeK! (formerly a kitten sound from a year ago) xxx dad
