Crafty Kitten

 This is Baby. Baby was found in my flower bed in September as a tiny kitten

abandoned by it's mother.  Baby barely had his/her eyes

open and could hardly walk he/she was so young.

Baby came into the house and has not left since.  

A favorite perch is in my box of quarter sheet cut card stock.

I finally broke down and put a towel over the paper 

to protect it.

We make Baby spend time outside each day so he/she

will realize that he/she is a cat.  So far that has

not been a rousing success.  Baby thinks he/she

might be a dog, probably human, but NOT a cat.

We have cat toys strung all over the house.

There is a big card board box with holes cut here

and there that is a fascinating playground for

a lively kitten.

There are balls in both showers along with paper cups,

which make wonderful noises and wake up the

humans at night.

Baby loves to hid under the bed and ambush ankles

and will wake a sleeping dad with gentle and then not

so gentle face pats because attention is desired NOW.

Baby has tried ambushing the Scottish Terrier, MacDuff,

but MacDuff just doesn't get it.  He turns around and chases

Baby, so that game is done.

Watching the water spin round and round in

the toilet is fun, but the claw marks on the toilet seat

attest to the fact that this is something that

should only be looked at and not experienced.

Baby loves paper scraps that fall to the floor when mom is crafting,

so can usually be found lurking about.  When he/she gets

tired of playing he/she retires to this lovely hidey hole

atop mom's papers.

Dad is complaining

that some of those paper scraps have found their way 

into his side of the bed.

And Dad also says that a kitten under the covers at 

his feet disturbs his sleep.
