Why? Just WHY!?

Heading upstairs with a glass of juice this morning. Notice Little Monsieur has hurled a loo roll down the stairs and mauled it. Put glass down on stair for just one second to clear up loo roll mess. A lightening quick paw knocks over the juice. Commence much swearing.

I was going to put this on the vomit thread but maybe this is better.

Yesterday. Madcat Commenced The Noises. I come running to see what she's done it on this time. Ah, the sofa throw and only liquid. Could be worse. I remove the throw. Come back, she's moved to the OTHER sofa throw for a second round.

Well, I think, at least they're washable, ta for your thoughtfulness madcat. Remove, only to return to the room to find her finishing her performance with the production of a tidy nugget of hairball surrounded by not at all tidy goo directly on the cushioned dining room chair seat.

Well you did take his toy off him.

Usually I recognise the determined look on his face and intercept. Today I wasn't quick enough.

He's going through his teenage dickhead rebellious stage.

We can't have anything on any windowsills anywhere in the house,

it's like they know.can put a pic frame on one while polishing shelves, and within 5 mins its on the floor.

also came downstairs Monday morning to find the Venetian blind in the kitchen within an inch of its life, 4 slats snapped, and 2 twisted in a way I didn't know wood could twist. I dead to think what the kitties got up to Sunday night.

If I may say so, Mantra, his teenage dickhead rebellious stage seems to be lasting quite a long time?

I'm resigning myself that dickishness is an innate part of his personality Cozie.

I remembered today, when I posted this photograph of his 4 week old self. You said "He'll be trouble, that one." You were right.

Hope it wasn't blackcurrant juice on a cream carpet

Basement Jack is quite careful with his long, slender legs. He doesn't knock much over. Reminds me of a poised ballerina.

cozietoesie · 29/04/2015 17:34

I remember that photo - he had a sort of 'F You World' look to him.

chockbic · 29/04/2015 17:35

Punky Peanut

I've found more than one neat log of regurgitated cat food on my duvet over the years.

I've had to stop using the broderie anglaise cover because bits of puke would go through the holes onto the actual duvet

Yes, a definite look of "Yeah, bring it on!" *Cozie".

Just realised his head was in proportion with his body then Chock. His body carried on growing, but not his peanut head and chicken neck.

Basement Jack. Ballerina. On his long and slender legs. Wielding a machete.

chockbic · 29/04/2015 17:54

He creeps up on his prey, then strikes like an asp. Or ass, I suppose.

patienceisvirtuous · 29/04/2015 17:54

Such a little scamp!

Original poster

RubbishMantra · 29/04/2015 17:55

And he's very careful with his legs. He very carefully knocks everything off all surfaces in a systematic fashion. Like it's his job.

He could have written this poem.

That's a great pic of him Rubbish - he's got "cattitude"!

Original poster

RubbishMantra · 30/04/2015 11:52

He does, doesn't he Frosty! The breeder told me he ripped a bit of greasy pizza box off and ate it. "He always was the greedy one." she said.

Easy to guess which one's him in the photos of him and his litter-mates.
If only I'd known what I was letting myself in for.

frostyfingers · 30/04/2015 13:13

I give you ginger "cattitude" - this is our hand reared ninja who is nearly 6....he switches from friendly purry thing to psychopathic maniac in seconds.

I love the expression on your cat's face - priceless! I think we need an up to date picture of this dangerous beastie....

cozietoesie · 30/04/2015 13:14

Bet you wouldn't change him for the world though!

cozietoesie · 30/04/2015 13:15

No picture there, frosty if there was meant to be one included.

frostyfingers · 30/04/2015 13:17

Doh, here's the pic - you may have seen it before, I just love the look on his face - a real "what do you want now, I'm busy" look.

The second pic is him advising the new pony that "I'm the boss, don't mess with me" - he's been known to lurk in the feed room and leap out at them, my big horse is terrified of him.

cozietoesie · 30/04/2015 13:25

That's one of my favourite pictures of all time!

chockbic · 30/04/2015 13:57

Jack does that legs akimbo, showing off the goods thing. He has no shame whatsoever.

RubbishMantra · 30/04/2015 14:05

Oh, they're priceless Frosty! He owns that bed! "Mine!"

Here's a more recent one of my Little Monsieur. Looking dapper in his christmas bow tie.

OP posts:

frostyfingers · 30/04/2015 15:47

He's just divine RM - was he happy to be wearing a bow tie? He looks quite proud of it really!
