I can hear you now – “But that’s every cat!” and I will tell you you’re wrong. Never in all my years of owning a cat have I had cats that disrespect me as much as these two.
In my house, cats are not allowed on the counter. This is a rule I tell guests, this is an actual rule and my older cats follow it great! They have a stool by the counter and upon which they can sit an observe, which they do. However there are no paws on the counter and if given a treat the older cats will take it to the ground to eat it.
The Burmese on the other hand – today as I was working at the table I heard some growling and fighting behind me and turned around to see both Burmese on the counter fighting. I can’t even begin to tell you how wrong this is. When I yelled at them to stop, they looked at me, then slowly stretched their way off the counter onto the stools.
Here I was making Iced Tea and Luna decided to help. What cat will jump in the refrigerator? Every time you open the door you need to make sure she is not in there.
Here is Brutus, I guess he assumes that because he is not on the counter, this is technically allowed. Spoiler Alert: It’s not
This is above and beyond any amount of kittenness I have experienced, ever. As you saw from my previous posts they are becoming better and better friends and I fear the day when they finally start working as a team.

And he would prefer it if you referred to him by his proper name.

Here it is in slightly more inappropriate form with the French loaf…

People describe the Burmese breed as “dog-like” and I used to think this meant that they were loyal, craved human companionship, and would follow you around. Mostly that is true. But it also means the bad parts of dogs – begging, misbehavior, and destruction.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Brutus is a great kitty and I wouldn’t change anything (well except maybe getting 2 kittens) but I am often surprised at what a devious little kitten he is.
We recently switched to silicone dishes cause I thought they looked nicer and I wanted a matching set of cat bowls. Brutus soon realized that he could carry these bowls around so when he was finished eating, if he was still hungry (which is every time) he would carry the bowl into the kitchen and drop it off for a refill.
He also constantly goes on the counter (not allowed in our house) and will stay up then until you physically walk over and remove him. Then he jumps down and flops on his side showing his belly in an attempt to beg forgiveness. But he isn’t really sorry. If you leave again, he’s back up on the counter.
Today I went out to run some errands (getting kitty food of all things) and came home to find an empty food bowl and an apparently very “hangry” cat.
Yup – you are seeing that right – he chewed through his food bowl like a dog. This was not some nibbling on one side – this is total destruction of the bowl!
Not only that but I dropped off the dry food at the bottom of the stairs then left to take my brother to the airport. When I returned I noticed the 5.5 lb bag of cat food had been dragged across the floor.
Me: did you move the cat food?
The Other: No, it was Brutus.
Me: *disbelief* he dragged it?
The Other: yea
Me: its a 6lb bag of food, he is a 10lb cat!
I took the bag upstairs and halfway up I notice cat food pellets on the ground. I look at the bag and not only had Brutus dragged the bag, but he had chewed through it to get to the food. On several sides.
*sigh*

Lee spotted this on the drive home, so we stopped in to take a look. 🙂

Last week I turned 35 – whoo-hoo! It was an awesome week. I ate junk food, I got presents, I did what I wanted! I have been celebrating Birthday Week for as long as I can remember but this by far was the best one yet.
On my birthday-birthday, The Other got me a Starbucks chai for breakfast. We then went out to Bulldog’s (A local burger joint) for lunch. It was good – my new second favorite local burger joint :). We then went to Cacao Sweets and Treats for a smores bar – which is literally what I think heaven tastes like! (check them out!: www.cacaosweetsandtreats.com) The Other and I made our way down to the local game shop where he bought me a Unicorn figure. This was an ultimate gesture of love since The Other is team pegasus. Love knows no bounds…
My family and birthday-buddy were all variously out of town on my actual birthday so we celebrated on Saturday by going to Medieval Times. I dressed up like the princess I am and had a wonderful time! Our knight didn’t win, but I was asked to pose with a little girl for a picture – so yay ego boost!
We were generally rowdy and misbehaved but we had fun and that’s all that counts. Can’t wait for next year!

I get pulled into a lot of meetings – some are necessary, some are productive, but most are just people passing the blame or telling each other how awesome you are. I found these while cleaning up over the weekend – I’ll let you guess which type of meeting these are from. Names have been changed to protect the “innocent”.

My AARP cards arrived in the mail today – time to start raking in the discount!!!!!
So what this tells me is my online browsing and buying habits have pegged me as over 50 – super. I did check the AARP discounts site and my first thought was “these are all deals for old people” but I guess discounts at Denny’s and the Geek Squad are what I have to look forward to in my future.
