Cat Attacks! $%#@#$!

My husband built such a beautiful house, and I think I did a pretty good job of making it a home.

However, we have three cats. Need I say more? Our three cats want to trash and slash our sweet home. And if they don't trash it, the steps that we take to keep them from trashing it......pretty much make us look like, well, trash.

Case-in-point......

This is what our stair case newel posts used to look like:



But now, due to kitties trying to make them into a clawing tree trunk; they now look like this:



Yes, that's right folks, my dear husband put DUCT TAPE (sticky side out) around our newel posts. ***sigh***



Also, the carpet..... ****cringe!****





And the lovely chenille couch (so soft) looks fine far away, but close up: @#$^&%*!!!




The suspects are as follows:



a.k.a. Macy: Guilty of getting shut in or out of rooms and trying to dig her way through the carpet. Also, guilty of only drinking fresh water from the bathtub, and waiting till we are asleep and jumping into our bed and trying to sleep on my head.



a.k.a. Itchymink: Guilty of hairball extractions on the carpet, missing the liter box, clawing only the best furniture, and meowing incessantly.



a.k.a Thirsty: Guilty of clawing anything and everything, eating too much, and bullying the other kitties.

BUT!

I must say that I love my Kitties! They keep me company, they greet me at the door when I come home, they eat bugs, and make me laugh when I'm down. My kitties are so sweet!






They are sweet asleep, in boxes, and in bags.

But which one of you has floured feet!!!



Stay off the counters! Don't claw the furniture, stairs, or any woodwork for that matter! Stay out of the dryer, and don't shed on my bed!

I'm gettin' a dog......or better yet, a fish! ;)

Hilarious! I miss your little furry ones. Want 5 more? This house is way too small for the 8 of us!

Miss you!

Funny! That is exactly why my kitty stays outside! Call me sometime!

I love it!! I need to show this to Rob... he's currently a little irritated with Nickey and her antics. But how can I not laugh - yesterday she got her head stuck in a chip bag while I was on a conference call. :-)

We have a cat too... and my nice leather couch has some lovely permanant scratches on the arms. But we still love our Oliver. :)
