rainette *empties litter box* : ew ew ew ew
kittens *come a-running*
rainette *prepares fresh litter*: WAIT UP GUYS. Almost there.
kittens *purr and rub selves against rainette's feet*
rainette: NAPOLEON! Stop licking my toes!
Napoleon *looks up innocently, goes back to toe-licking*
rainette: THERE! All done. You can use it now.
Kittens *poop in triplicate*
rainette: oh man.

They had their second booster today! All is well and they behaved MAGNIFICENTLY, but for Theo who panicked and bit Froglet on the thumb.

Froglet: THEO BIT ME *throws self in rainette's arms*
rainette *pets Froglet's head*: It's going to be ok. They'e just getting a shot...
Froglet: ARGH! *runs off*
rainette: ... oh dude.
Husband: what?
rainette: way to look ridiculous. Froglet wept all over me. I HAVE WET BOOBS.
Husband: :D

When we came home, the kittens washed themselves Very Thoroughly and Froglet was Vey Relieved, because they don't hate us after all. :D

In other news, Froglet got BRAND NEW SKATES for the fist time in her career as a figue skater (usually, we manage to find second hand skates).

Shop attendant: SO! We found the perfect skates! I'll stick them in the oven for you and I'll be back in 5 minutes.

The looks on our faces: priceless.

Froglet *hisses to me*: Why the oven? Does he think we want to eat them?

But then the shop attendant came back and explained that the oven was used to warm the skates to make them more flexible. Then the skater puts them back on for a few minutes so that they take her ankles' shape as they cool off. Hey, I didn't know this, I thought I would share. :D

Also, I thought I would share with you a picture of perfect feline bliss.

Why is it that cats do that? As SOON as you clean the cat litter, they IMMEDIATELY use the damn box? Drives me nuts.

I think it's the cat's equivalent of what you so often see on the internet:

FIRST!

Hey, how else can they compete?

A while ago, I saw a cartoon, in which a bunch of dogs were sniffing around a sign pole near a street, and one dog looks up to his owner and explains, "It's like MySpace, only less structured."

*cracks up* Oh man, that's a GREAT concept!

They really really like clean litter, I have to say -- I caught Theo peeing in a potted plant this morning, because the litter was clean enough for him anymore. (I took him off the plant and he went off in a sulk. :D)

Oh Lord, I have to tell you a funny story about an old friend, long slipped off our radar. Years ago, she went on a vacation and came home to her sweet little kitty. Mary Frances reported to us that when she came home, that kitty was so glad to see her that he couldn't bear to leave the room to use his litter box, so he took a dump in the diffenbachia.

Ray and I looked at each other, then said, "Mary Frances, he wasn't saying he missed you, that was revenge!"

Every now and then, Ray and I identify some situation which parallels that one, and we tell each other, "He was taking a dump in the diffenbachia!" And we roar with laughter....

Cathy, I'm just guessing you meant, the litter WASN'T clean enough for him any more. Yes/No?

I've been meaning to ask you, would you mind if I wrote you en francais? I'd love to use the language again, but if it's offensive to think of (especially with my uh, skills) please don't hesitate to say non.

*laughs* I'll remember that when it happens to us, I am sure! :D

Yes, you're right, that was TOTALLY what I meant! I must have been tired when I typed it. They're very fastidious about their litter, these three little ones -- maybe I should consider having two litter boxes. Otherwise the plants will suffer MANY INDIGNITIES :D

I don't mind at all, on the contrary! :) Please do write me in French -- et je répondrai en français, oui? :)

I agree with Plantmom (ME FIRST :D ), but also, I think they really REALLY like clean litter, so they'll go and mark it (MINE!) even if all they can do is pee three drops.

LaFayette used to do it too -- in fact, every single cat I've owned has done that. Now I have to get used to the fact that I HAVE THREE! So. Much. Poop.
