I just punished Asher for eating my bouquet of flowers from yesterday, which I had stuck in a coffee mug up on the bookcase where he's not supposed to be able to reach. So, he got caught red-pawed and had a minute or two by the scruff of the neck. As soon as I let him go, he ran into the living room, picked up a pen, and darted off at lightning speed toward the bedroom as if to say "Take THAT!". He sure showed me. :P Oy. He's like a dog, only more annoying, as he is always jumping up on the table, counter, desk, bookcase, what have you. I was hoping he'd have grown out of this by now. Was Moses this annoying at this age? Will I ever be able to set up a Christmas tree without fearing for the lives of my ornaments? I know Christmas is still half a year away but at this point I'm not seeing any hope that this year will be different than last year. Probably the major difference is that this year he's twice as big, so when he climbs the tree it'll fall more often.



Cats. Can't live with 'em... keep 'em around anyway. :)
