Dad-burn kitten!

[Archae]

My tabby kitten Erin, is driving me nuts!

5 times now, I've found this on the floor in my bathroom.



And the stinker has fresh water, but he HAS to drink out of my water cup next to my computer.



So why can't I ever stay mad at the little sweetie? :loveya:

1. Hey Archae, I've heard that you

had the same confusion with Erin that I had with my Puck:

Yeah, Puck is mad for TP too :shrug:. My other kitten Oberon MUST drink out a cup in the bathroom sink, just as my late Peewee did. I think all kitties have their quirks and obsessions!

2. Trust me

It's hard to get mad at them. This is Dax, my big bubba, who I lost last year on my cross country trip. He loved hanging out in front of the computer.

3. The toilet paper thing!

My cats are of two minds on toilet paper.

Hormel and Titty Boy both pull down toilet paper to play with it.

Kenny, Whoopi, Chewbacca (RIP) and Sandy nest in toilet paper.

4. My Teddy and Tigger

simply shred the paper while it is still on the roll holder. That isn't easy, either, since they have no front claws. (..I didn't do it...they were that way at age 3 when they allowed me to become part of their lives)They simply chew it to death.

5. Just Be Glad

She's not so proud of her butt that she "has" to shove it up your face every time you're on DU.

Durn cat has also mastered "Copy" and Paste.

6. Easy To Fix!

Ah, cute little kitten,
The scamperful scaper!
Many cats love
To play with the paper.

The solution you'll find
Is simplest of all.
Turn the roll round
With the 'flap' to the wall.

As for the water,
I'll fix you right up!
Just go to the store,
And buy Sippy Cup!

And as for the kitty,
Cat Dancer's a blast!
Go out and buy one
She'll be springing so fast!

For water, there's fountains
That bubble and splash.
Use distilled water,
And it will taste fresh.

One last instruction,
For Kitty, you see.
Give her a cuddle
And say it's from me!

8. Cute poem.

I read it ot the cats, and they both said "Meow." :-)

10. To Higher Praises, I Cannot Aspire!

I'm in! I'm legit!
Accepted now!
My work is considered
The Cat's Meow!

7. There's a plastic thingamabob you can buy

that fits over the toilet paper roll and foils the feline unroller, but still leaves the paper easy for humans to use. Either that, or just start keeping the roll on the back of the tank, so it's no fun to paw at. I'm lucky, my three aren't interested in the TP. I used to have one that would daintily pull kleenexes out of the box, one after the other, and shred them until the box was empty and the room was a snowstorm.

Oh, and I never drink out of anything but a sports bottle anymore. The cats regard any water in a glass as common property, and they lick their butts.

9. Awwwww...look how cute!

That's why you can't stay mad. :hi:
