So how long will it take Twilight to find the new bag of cat food on top of the fridge?

I left the last two on the floor and she ate through the bag the little mooch.

1. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

2. Sudden quietness overtakes Applegrove's apartment.

3. Oh bullshit. I can hear the SuperSoaker pumping up from here.

[applegrove]

4. LOL!

5. I've been disciplining cats with squirt guns for over 40 years. It works.

All you have to do (after a while) is pump a dry Super Soaker and the cats in question will extract themselves from the naughtiness in question. No water required anymore. It only takes about two months of training.

The Super Soaker has the advantage of hitting a cat on a curtain from 30 feet away. Damn good tools.

6. I had a water pistol when my Samantha was a kitten. After a week all I'd have to do it point it and

say "FREEZE!" and she'd freeze and then take off. LOL!

7. We're in a weird sate. The kittens do something naught. You call their names. The dog responds.

Both jump down to get face bonks and play with her fail and leg feathers. They aren't the least bit afraid, and never have been. It's just an attention-getter. They fucking KNOW they are being naughty and just don't care. Fucking barn cats.

8. We had a barn cat. Angus was never tame. Though when we would let

her loose at the cottage she'd come visit us and lay in the garden and miew hello. Didn't even go for the food (because we left it outside all week). The friendliest and happiest we ever saw her. She hated living with people.

9. Their mother moved in (third litter) and they were handled from birth. It matters.

But the fuckers are STILL barn cats in their behavior. Both are total cuddles, but if I were a rodent I wouldn't want to mess with them.
