or, In Which Once Again Boomerang Earns his Call-name of "Boomer-You-Idiot."

The Universe clearly heard me telling my folks this evening that cats were so much easier to live with than dogs. I had just decided to turn in for the evening when I heard a rustling noise, like the sound a cat makes when they're into something they shouldn't.

"Boomer, cut it out!" I called, making a not-unsupported guess who was responsible.

There was some more rustling. Then an unhappy meow.

Then a Very Unhappy Yowl.


"Mom? Wasn't there supposed to be a sink there?"

He was deeply relieved when I opened the cabinet doors and let him out of that Awful Place.

The truly amusing thing was that not three minutes later Pandora decided to investigate as well.... but she was smart/agile enough to leap out the way she'd fallen in.


Cats. Oy.

Oooo, I like the looks of that cabinet! Now I'm getting excited to see the rest of the kitchen. :-) It's a shame it came at poor Boomer's expense.

The cabinets look very nice, and they braced them at what look like proper intervals. But you'll have to come down and check! (how're you feeling? Poor thing...)

Yes, they look like cabinets made of actual wood! I'm so stoked to see them the next time I can come down there.

I'm feeling a bit better and just have one redish eye, but of course this comes after I already made an appointment for Monday. *sigh* So I'll make sure I'll list all the problems I had before just in case he needs to know.

Silly Boomer. I hope you gave him a cuddle to help him feel better.

[lagilman]

he was too indignant to be cuddled. Especially when Pandora had to show him up by jumping in and then jumping out without needing momma's help...

Why is it that boy cats are always dumber than their sisters?

Poor baby! Although at my place, boycat would get out without incident and girlcat would meow piteously.

awwwwwwwww, poor Boomer. :-) No, Boomer I am not smiling AT you. I'm smiling with you. I mean, I would be if you were smiling.

Awwwwwwww

We used to have a ginger tabby that had shredded the flywire over our bedroom window until there was a hole large enough for him to jump through... at which point, we replaced the flywire screen with a shadecloth curtain, in an attempt to give access to the cat but not insects.

After a home invasion in that house, we fitted security screens over the windows. This did not discourage the cat from attempting to jump through it. We were in bed when we heard a resounding thump, and a moment later, the cat yowled at the front door - with a grid pattern from the screen impressed on his furry face.
