Dude, we swear! We didn't do anything to her. It was girlz' night out, see, and we were all at this party, see, and...

11pm Chez Walkabout. Please note who's still awake. Miss E came in earlier that night and asked if she could sleep with us. Because the kittenz were awake and playing.

Well, we think so, but Miss E is not so sure.

Totally aww!

And yes, it is very hard to sleep with kittenz. They tend to think the "ow, don't bite that!" reaction = "play!!!!"

Yes, that was her complaint last night. Every time she shifted her legs, they attacked the covers. I said "good. they might be mousers. go to bed and try not to move."

Anytime my cats do anything remotely predatory I feel a swell of pride. "It' okay Aunt Martha, she's just stalking your ankles before going in for the kill."

And in pictures of cats, why does it always seem like we are catching them while they're having some sort of secret meeting of the evil kitty minds. Must be the eyes.

One does find it difficult to understand people that want cats NOT to act that way. They're cats. OTOH, I haven't introduced her to the 'kitten drop' method of training yet, This is where inappropriate behavior is addressed by removing the kitten from the bed. Over and over. Until that game is no longer interesting or they are tired out. We don't actually 'drop' them. It's more like place them. But they're still young and it's not like their claws actually go through the quilt yet.

But the entire household is in agreement now that two was a sensible thing to do. They amuse each other.

I am one for the kitty drop technique. Cat's are comicazi and perhaps stubborn, but not stupid. They get it. I am now to a point where pointing a finger or growling a single word at my three felines gets them to stop their action.

And I agree, cats should be cats. You want tame and cute, get a mini lap dog. Cats are at their best when they get to show off their prey drive.
