Stop looking so darn cute!

Miss Kitty KNOWS better than to scratch the couch. Every time she scratches though, I yell at her and she comes running into wherever I am looking sooo excited that I'm giving her attention - my heart just melts and I can never bring myself to scold her more. Winslow does this somewhat too. Actually, I think he invented the whole 'too cute to be in trouble' technique while Miss Kitty abuses it.

I'm noticing that bathroom runs can be a bit of a family outing. So if anyone ever visits, don't expect privacy as I am often joined by all 3 cats. Showers - I could win money betting that Waldo will appear when I'm done. In my last apartment he would often jump onto the shower wall and straddle it while I was showering. Then of course he would insist on help getting down. I would grab my towel, step out, turn my back to the shower and bend slightly. He would then pounce on my back on his way down to the floor. Next I would sit on the bed - still wrapped in the towel - as Miss Kitty would impatiently wait for me to begin putting on my clothes. Often if I took too long to take off the towel she would begin to paw at it trying to pull it off herself. She likes damp towels and I would leave it on the bed for her to snuggle with. Now the tradition is a bit different. As soon as I turn off the shower water, both Miss Kitty & Waldo come into the bathroom. If the door is closed, Miss Kitty will usually open it for them. Miss Kitty then checks out the cabinet under the sink while Waldo comes and jumps onto the bathtub ledge, some times coming inside for a drink. Miss Kitty loses interest in the shower at the point while waldo follows me to sit in my lap as I sit on the edge of the bed. Ater a few minutes of snuggle time, I dump him and get dressed and we go on with our day. Winslow has no interest in showering traditions.

Another predictable habit of Waldo: he always steals my warm spot. If I leave my bed during the night, garuanteed he's going to be in my spot when I get back. Even if the blankets are everywhere BUT that one spot, he'll be curled up with the blankets around him. The past couple of nights I've been using hot water bottles and when I came back last night he'd found one and was on top of it - hugging it. I told him he could have the other one that I was using for my feet at the end of the bed.
