*falls over*

Perhaps locking cats in bedroom might be an option next time?

That is... if you can manage to rope all four cats into going into the bedroom at the same time...

I got so used to seeing the word "cat" in this post that I got to point 24 and read it as "put empty cats in recycling".

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh... I can sympathize totally. My cats have killed a tiny cactus that I had nurtured from a seed... And knocked over many houseplants. Luckily, they are pretty good about *not* going on the counters (when I'm home, at least). And when I was sewing earlier today, Apricot insisted on sitting on either me or my work...

I do love them, though. The house would be pretty lonely without them.

*wipes tears from eyes*

Thanks for the first good laugh of the day. That's too cute. Well, to me, it's cute. Not to you, who had to keep displacing the little furballs.

I have a child and I've had cats, and I honestly don't know which one is worse - they both have minds of their own. :-)
