4989.0. "The devil in them..." by SANFAN::BALZERMA () Mon Oct 07 1991 19:24

    I started my day today with my usual routine. Poured my coffee, got my
    cereal out, grabbed Callie's pill and plunked everything down on the
    table next to the bed.  I picked her up, put her on my lap and gave
    her her medication. I held her and hugged her and then let her go. I
    had forgotten my spoon so I got up to get one. I sat back down and 
    dug into my Kashi (multigrain puffed cereal).  All of a sudden CRUNCH
    and then blech!  The little devil had dropped her pill into my
    cereal!!! There I sat chomping away on HER medication.  I swear there
    was a twinkle in her I as she sat watching me....

    sickness" in the path to the bathroom during the night.  Get up at 3:00
    a.m. to go to the bathroom and *squish*!! %^{

    Then there was the time I was munching goldfish crackers while I was
    tossing Pounces to the boys.   Next thing I knew, I was munching
    Pounces and tossing the crackers.  Funny, they seemed to like that
    arrangement...
    
    Boy those things taste gross....

    Well the other nite I was in the quiet room( my den).. I came out
    the sun has just gone down.. so I closed the blinds..
    I got invloved doing some "chores" and as I entered the living
    room to find KISSY standing on her hind legs.. drawing back the
    vertical blinds .. With Happy  watching her quite intently..
    talking away.. I am assuming giving her directions and encouragement..
     of course I did ask Kissy what she thought she was doing..!!!
    andas I caled her name "KISSY WHAT ARE YOU DOING she responded
    in EXOTIC  WHAT MOM?.. GO AWAY CANT YOU SEE I AM BUSY..GEESCH

4989.7The terror kitten strikes againTOOK::DUGALLisaTue Oct 08 1991 18:4436
I told this to a few friends and one of them has been urging me to enter it
into the notesfile.  This topic's title about fits it, so here's the story....

Yesterday afternoon, I left work early and went home sick.  Once home, I tried
to get some sleep on the couch.  Of course, since I've got a cold, I fell 
asleep with my mouth open (and unprotected).  

The first time I was woken up was by a very excited puppy who decided to like 
my face to death.  Yuk!  After settling the puppy down, it was now the Tasha, 
the terror kitten's, turn.  I had fallen back asleep only to be woken up this 
time by a kitten's paw stuffed in my mouth.  Apparently Tasha though she'd try 
playing a little tonsil hockey or something.  I explained to Tasha that she
shouldn't do that to mom.  Now, back to sleep, only to be woken up to 
someone throwing pillows at me.  No, it's not someone, it's Tasha.  She decided
she didn't like all the pillows I put on the back of the couch and was pushing
them down on me.  Fine, I remove all the pillows and go back to sleep.  Now, 
I'm startled awake for the 4th time by the sound of one of the window quilts 
coming down at high speed and a startled kitten cry.  I looked over to see
Tasha hanging way up in the air by the end of the cord.  Apparently, she though 
the cord would be fun to play with and while playing, she released the catch on 
the quilt and down came the window quilt and up went the cord and kitty.  After 
helping Tasha down, I tried to get some again.  Only to be waking to a splash 
sound.  Somewhere in the back of mind, I was screaming, "moron, you left the 
toilet lid up."  Sure enough, I did, and Tasha decided to take advantage of it
by going for her daily swim.  Now, I have a wet soggy kitten trying to stretch 
out on top of me to dry.  

It was obvious I was not getting any rest, so I turned on the TV.  After awhile,
Tasha came over and bonked me in the face with her head.  I asked her what she
wanted and she gave me that innocent kitten look and BURPED at me!

I'm now positive that if Tasha could talk and you asked her what she wanted
to be when she grows up, she would answer....A TERRORIST!

4989.8Paw in Mouth disease? :-)AUKLET::MEIER1 cat, 3 kittens, and 1000 glass insulatorsWed Oct 09 1991 11:187
    re .7 (Lisa)
    
    You mean I'm not the only one who has gotten paws in the mouth?
    Mine usually happens when I'm trying to get to sleep and someone is
    trying to get comfortable on my pillow with me. :-)

Glad everyone liked the story.  I've got about 100 more.  It's amazing what 
2 little terrorist pets can get into (I have a puppy and a kitten).  There's
never a dull moment around the house!  

You just gotta love the little furfaces!
