Silly Rutherford, he probably thought that he had subdued Charelene with his marmalade charms and he would be free to touch her whiskers. What he couldn't know is that he's not Charlene's first charming young kitten.
Every batch of kittens, I bet there's at least one that has to get whomped a bit to learn to respect the whiskers and the tail! Charlene is amazingly good with the babies, but it's good that she has limits and teaches them to the babies, too -- I'm sure it helps prepare them for their future home with other critters who may or may not be as patient as Miss Charlene!
Gotta teach the kids to respect boundaries!
ReplyDeleteEven Bean's got her limits, eh?! You can just tell that Ruddy's a bit of a troublemaker, so it's good that she's there to tell him to back off.
ReplyDeleteHe is such a Rutherford!

ReplyDeleteRuthe's been schooled! *G* You go, Bean! Keep 'em in line and don't take no nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! She put up with quite a lot before the smack-down.
ReplyDeleteButterbean is such a regal lady....she can WHOP a kitty and barely flick a whisker.
ReplyDeleteBean I'm in Scotland (visiting) and you just made me chuckle at 2:15 am. :p
