Yarn can be SO dangerous!

Poor little Duncan!  He's had a tough night so far -- he's gotten into all sorts of trouble and finally gave up, came and curled up next to me on his favorite pillow.  Well, even there he wasn't safe!  I've got some yarn that needs to be rolled into balls sitting on the couch and the one skein that has been rolled just slid down the pile and bopped him right in the noggin!  Poor little guy wasn't doing anything -- just sleeping! -- and the yarn nailed him!  Life is definitely tough when you're a kitty!

Poor kitty!

Obviously Duncan is having a bad day today, too.  We finally made up and decided to play fetch with his mouse so I tossed it toward his cat tree.  Poor little guy turned and took off -- smack into the stool!  I think from now on the two of us will pass on the Ides of March.  Next year we'll just spend March 15 in bed!

AGAIN?!!!!!!

Well, it's very quiet here today.  At least NOW it is.  Earlier Duncan had a case of the crazies and now we're one more lamp short in the house.  The first lamp he broke wasn't really that big a deal because it was one of the few things I had left over from when I was married.  I had gotten rid of most of the things I had then but these lamps were pretty and I couldn't see any reason to toss a perfectly good pair of lamps.  But today's disaster was a different story.  This was one of a set I had gotten a few years ago and I absolute love them!  Pretty, girly boudoir lamps with glass shades and beaded tassles.  Oh well.  Lamps can be replaced.  Fortunately, he didn't hurt himself but he knows he's in big trouble so he's been staying out of my way.  I guess it's also fortunate for him that I had a hair appointment to get to and now I have my nail appointment and chiropractor appointment so I'll have plenty of time to cool off before I have to move the dresser the lamp USED to sit on and see what other damage has been done.  There's a glass frame behind the dresser now and I'm just not up to seeing if it's still in one piece yet.  All the other glass has been cleaned up so no worries about him getting hurt -- unless he gets a "flying lesson" when I move that dresser and find that frame shattered!  Crazy damn cat!  I wonder if he really understands how lucky he is that he's so adorable and that I love him more than that lamp!

NOT a happy kitty!

Just got Duncan's id tag from Trupanion so I put it on his collar and then put his collar on him!  He is NOT happy!  LOL!  But he's protected and now if he gets out, he can find his way home!  That's always been one of my worst fears -- any of my furbabies "escaping" and getting lost.  His collar is a breakaway but at least I feel a little better having him wear his id tag.  Not like he ever goes out but I worry anyway.  I want to get him one of those great kitty harnesses so I can start taking him out for walks once in awhile and now I'll be able to without worrying quite so much.  Oh and he looks SO handsome in his gold collar!  Another benefit is, with the tag and the jingle bell on his collar, I'll be able to know where he is in the house!

Just "Too Cute"!

For some reason, Saturday night I was up again at 2:00 a.m.  I hate nights when I can't sleep but at least now I don't have to be up at 6:00 a.m. so it's not really that big a deal anymore.  Anyway, rather than laying there tossing and turning, Duncan and I wound up out in the livingroom and I put on Animal Planet.  We'd been watching it during the day so why not in the middle of the night, right?!  Their show "Too Cute" was on.  If you haven't seen this, it really is appropriately named -- all about the cutest kittens and they follow their progress from birth to adoption.  Well, Duncan was absolutely fascinated by the kittens on tv so there we sat -- him watching tv and me watching him!  What is it about this guy that everything he does makes me smile?  Even when he's naughty, he's just so darned cute that I have a hard time being stern with him!  And, boy, does he KNOW it!  When I catch him doing something he shouldn't be, he gives me this "But mama, don't you love me anymore?" look and I just melt into a big ol' puddle!  Guess it must just be love!

Redecorating with Duncan!

Well, Duncan is at it again!  Evidently he's decided to work on the window treatments in the bedroom!  Can you tell what he thinks of my choice in curtains?

And I think I've figured out how he redecorated!
