I'm a little confused. Which surfaces are OK to be on? You seem to approve of the couch and chairs in the living room. And the bed is ok if I don't hang from the bedspread by my toenails. The dining room chairs are ok, but not the dining room table. I saw Charlene jump on the kitchen counter and I know that is SO not cool,, but she can jump on the bathroom counter to get a drink?
Now, is this lamp table off limits? It seems like it should be,, but you let me stay here for a good minute while you got your camera and took a dozen pictures of me sitting here. THEN you picked me up and put me on the floor. Please clarify, is it Ok or isn't it.
I'm having a hard time with what is and isn't a cat toy too. Maybe you could explain that one as well.
I am trying to good, I swear, but you humans and your inconsistent rules make it very difficult at times.
Dear Twyla, pay no attention to the rules these people make. It's so like you to be concerned and confused by all this when really, there are no rules for kitty behavior, especially since people are now discouraged and shunned if they think about declawing. You are such a sweet girl that you'll be able to do pretty much what you want. And if I looked like you do, I'd spend a lot more time lying on that table with all those other pretty things! Go for it, girlfriend! Love, Beatrix

ReplyDeleteTaking pictures of kittens when they are doing something wrong, and then shunning them after is the cruelest thing.
ReplyDeleteWhich is obviously why I did it to my girl every chance I got ;)
Oh that face! That face! Gosh you are a DOLL, Twyla! Somebody is going to be very lucky and blessed to get you.
ReplyDeleteShe really was just admiring handsome Cornelius in the photo... weren't you, Twyla darling?
ReplyDeletehugs & snorgles to the furgurl =^)
Hmm...Fergus is having very similar difficulties! If you make a rule book, please pass along a copy for your previous grads!
ReplyDeleteViabloomington! I noticed Cornelius too! It was his little picture posted on Cuteoverload.com that got me thoroughly and totally addicted to IBKC!
ReplyDeleteAnd that Twyla! Don't you worry honey. You are so precious that you get a free pass!
Oh my god, that little face! If it weren't for the distance, I'd have been scratching at your door to take that kitten home ages ago.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely Twyla!!! ~~!Orion
ReplyDeleteHi Twyla! Hi Cornelius, wherever you are!
ReplyDeleteNow Twyla, there is but one rule when living with humans... "If they yell at you when they see you do it... don't be seen." You must become like a ninja!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from Furgus' mom, even if it is to report that he might be in need of counsel. Can't wait to have another photo update on the boy. That most recent one shows him to be a stunner, and shows his mom to be an artist with the camera.
ReplyDeleteRules, schmules. Or to put it another way, "We don't need no steenkin' rules." That's the advice from the kitties in our household, Twyla.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of off limits places, Dashiell pointed out to me, during a viewing of that most excellent video, that there appeared to be a small orange cat frolicking on the dining room table. Could that've been one example of Lovell's alleged naughtiness?
Oh my gosh that is exactly how it is in our house! I'm sure that's why I often get the "Huh?" look. And I'm pretty sure I've seen appointments with kitty shrinks on their organizers - so they can deal with all their parent-induced neuroses.
ReplyDeleteTwyla lovey - hang in there. Just smile at Mommy and say "uh huh" then do just what you please. You are a cat after all... it's your right.
Twyla,
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have kitteh barf to clean, a kitteh scrunched rug to straighten, or kitteh shredded [scratched, spilled, broken... insert appropriate verb here] mess to clean up, I wouldn't feel loved.
You just listen to your Auntie Beatrix and Uncle Potter.
Oh, and could you also ask your Auntie M to pass along some Fergus photos? We miss him!
Poor Twyla... Welcome to the Real World, dear itty bitty. Rules are inconsistent and made to be broken. So break them... just don't be seen. Or if you're seen, strike an adorable pose so they won't be able to punish you.
ReplyDeleteIs that a framed picture of Cornelius in his bowtie in the background? :D
ReplyDeleteDear Twyla - Please have patience with the human race.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot help it - we are not cat.
Love -
A Busy KatBoxJanitor and her purr-girls (Toes & Marbles)
That's it Twyla, you tell those humans how confusing they are, you tell 'em gal ;)
ReplyDeleteRed, Not only is it a framed photo of Cornelius, Laurie's trophy is on the table too! Twyla has indeed chosen a Treasure Table and that's because she's a Treasure too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Twyla, don't you worry. Your humans will soon learn that they're not dealing with any ordinary housecat, but the Queen of the House. Do you need proof? They feed you, clean up after you, and provide you with any amusing diversions you could wish for all the while fawning over you whenever you're "naughty". So don't fret; rules are for humans - and don't hesitate to enforce the rules when they are late with breakfast! Remember, it's up to you to teach the humans; Ziggy and Zorro taught me, and now I'm a very good pet.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, yes, we humans are inconsistant!
ReplyDeleteAvast, Twyla
ReplyDeleteAye, these porrr hooman beans dorn't know what they's after. Sometimes, they wants ther wee cuddlins in the middle of the bludy dayz, and dun't even try it at nights. Kin anyones explain it to me?
Cordially yrs,

Pee Ess. Yer might mention it ter yer fella Corny there, he's jest aboot handsome enough fer my crew.
