And Marilyn thinks I'm gonna have a list as long as War and Peace. (I guess that's a really long bookie.) Well, I'll show her!
1. I taught myself how to open da kitchen kabinet doors. I can get in there and nose around all I want to, and I usually do it when Momma and Daddy are sleepin'.
2. I like to try to shred the shower kurtain.
3. I knock stuff off Momma and Daddy's desks. All kindsa little thingies. Like the motorcycle key, Momma's pens and pencils, all kindsa stuffies, and I bat 'em all over the house and sometimes underneath stuff where Momma and Daddy have gotta fish 'em out.
4. Speaking of fishin', I love fishin' evil coffee stirrers outta Momma and Daddy's coffee muggies which wouldn't be so naughty except sometimes I come close to tippin' the mugs over. My beans keep a close watch on their mugs while they're drinkin' their coffee!
5. I love playin' with the laces on Daddy's boots. I get holda the laces and sometimes I get so nutsy I pull his boot around on the floor. Daddy don't mind, though. He usedta try to stuff the laces down in his boots, but I'd just stuff myself down in his boot and pull the laces out anyways.
6. I like to shred the paper towels close to Momma and Daddy's desks (Marilyn takes care of the paper towels in da kitchen).
7. I jump up on the counter when Momma's cookin'. Sometimes me and Marilyn make an ambush of it -- I come at Momma from one side while Marilyn's coming at her from the other, and we try to do our ambush when Momma's hands are full, givin' us a better chance of gettin' at alla that FOOD. Brainball and Dorydoo are a little more laid back about people food, but Marilyn and me are FOODIEMONSTERS!
8. Unless Momma makes up the bed real tight, I like to wad myself down in the kovers and scratch on the mattress.
9. I like pullin' the drainstops outta the sinks which wouldn't be a big deal except sometimes I get so excited that I knock 'em all the way out and they wind up in some purr-etty funny places, hehehe.
10. I like playin' with my dry foodies -- I knock 'em outta my bowl and bat 'em all over the house, makin' like they're mousies, and eatin' 'em but not always eatin' 'em. Momma doesn't mind much, though, and thanks to me, she gets some extra exercise sweepin'.
11. I love the dishwasher thingie. When Momma's loadin' dishes, I like to get in there and lick them foodie dishes.
12. Every time Momma opens the dryer thingie, I try to get in there, but she won't let me in there, DAGNABBIT!
13. I try to climb the window blinds. Sometimes I break the ends of 'em, and sometimes I pull the whole shebangie down. Oopsie...
14. Sometimes I try to sharpen my claws on the big woofer thingie on Momma and Daddy's speakers.
15. I try to climb Momma and Daddy's legs. Come to think of it, they say OW, MAO! OW, MAO! OW, MAO! a whole lot...
16. I try to climb in the poopie bags when Momma's scoopin' out our boxes.
17. I get down in the trashcans, root around in there, and try to pull interesting-lookin' stuff out.
18. I love watchin' the toilet flushie. I stand on the seat and my head goes round and round and round as I watch the water swish down. Sometimes I lean down and bat at it and try to follow it. Momma and Daddy warn me I'm gonna fall in the toilet if I'm not careful.
19. I try to play with Brainball and Marilyn when they're usin' the litterbox. I don't mess with Dorydoo when she's on her throne though 'cause I know she'll swat me.
20. Lotsa times when Momma opens the fridgerator thingie, I try to get in it.
21. I try to get in Momma and Daddy's plates when they're eatin'.
22. When Momma's givin' Brainball and Marilyn their hairball remmedy, I try to lick it off before they can, hehehe!
23. And when anykitty barfs, I try to eat it.
Nyah nyah, Marilyn! My list ain't as long as no book, after all! Well, not quite as long... Anyhow, my beans are real patient with me, and Momma keeps tellin' my sisturs I'll settle down some when I get more growed up. (hmmmmm, I don't know if I will or not, hehehe!)
I'm wore out from writin' all that, so I'll just tag four kitties (well five, 'cause Mr. Chen and Ollie are two):
Jeter
Yao-lin
Monica
Chen & Ollie
