Braeya received a middle name after having lived with me less than 24 hours - because I already needed it to yell at her. I was painting my bedroom and she kept trying to get into the paint try (she was very tiny - about six weeks old) so I confined her to the bathroom to keep her out of the paint. Long story short, because she was so tiny, she found a very obscure hiding place and though my parents and I searched the entire house for about an hour after we were done painting and she was allowed to come out, we couldn't find her. I was crying, my Dad was crying, my Mom was sick to her stomach...it was a mess. We thought she'd somehow gotten outside without us knowing about it. And then...she showed up. Wherever she'd hidden must have gotten boring. And she received a middle name on the spot.
And this weekend I had to pull out the "BRAEYA JO!" because she learned to flush the toilet. And she practiced. OFTEN. So until I can figure out how to stop THAT from happening, she is banned from the bathroom. I don't feel really bad about it, but I do feel bad that her grounding is also keeping Kaegan out of the bathroom, and that is HIS spot. He loves to sleep for hours right beside the shower. Poor kiddo. It's rough having a little sister. (Not that I know. I was the little sister in my family.)
Anyway, aside from that, yesterday was a good Christmas day. Our church's Ladies Bible study had its Christmas party. Let me tell you - these ladies can COOK. I was so miserably full when I came home. And now that I am watching what I eat, I don't eat until I'm miserably full anymore. Not even at Thanksgiving. But last night I just had to have seconds. It was so worth it. SO worth it.

I've always believed that cats are like two-year-old children: They know they shouldn't do something, and they do it anyway, often waiting until you're watching them before they do it. The whole "you can't stop me" thing.
Braeya Jo's latest discovery just confirms that yet again.
Now all you have to do is teach her to peepee and poopoo in the toilet BEFORE she flushes and you'll be set!
...and YES, I just typed peepee and poopoo!
Skyepuppy - I only wish you could reason with cats like you can with kids. Or attempt to do so.
Sarah - Unfortunately she'd rather DRINK the water than use it for its intended purpose. But you're right - think how much I'd save in litter!!!
There are little toilet seat litter pans you can use to start the toilet training, then after a period of time, you take away the pan and they then go in the toilet.
Perhaps if she gave herself a swirly once, it would cure the flushing problem.
LOL - i would pay to see the swirly. That would be hysterical.
