Humbug has this new habit of sleeping on the shelf above the microwave *sigh*
In our kitchen, we have a surface, then a shelf above with mugs on, then another above that. So Houm's right at the top, near the ceiling.
There are a lot of jars on that shelf (like you can see on the right, in the photo below), and he actually knocked one off! Miraculously, it bounced off the lamp (on the left, by Houm's tail) and landed on the shelf below. Hah, I notice you can actually see it there, although it's a bit washed out by the light.
Then, the day before yesterday, Humbug jumped onto the mug shelf and knocked a mug off and smashed it...before jumping down in a fright, because of the noise, and knocking two mugs off there and smashing both of them.
So Mum said he was banned from going on "his" shelf, and put two packets of kitchen roll and some other things where he sleeps.
It didn't work though, because in the morning I found him asleep on his shelf, and one packet of kitchen roll on the floor XD
And yesterday Paws decided it would be super nice if she could sleep up there too. So she climbed up, and went to sleep. But then Humbug came up, and it looked as if they were going to fight, but he settled down with her! He doesn't like Paws that much, even if she doesn't mind him, but he didn't seem to mind this time.
Mum took the photo (sneaking into my room and borrowing the camera while I was asleep).
My cats do almost the exact same thing! XD
ReplyDeleteThere's this little counter underneath my microwave, the fridge that's right next to that, and another shelf on top of the microwave on top of the cupboards, and my cat jumps all the way on top so her ears basically touch the ceiling. And then she lays down on her own private shelf there that nobody else can reach, as she looks down where I'm walking as in mocking me. (She's very annoying.) And sometimes my other cat jumps up on the lower shelf underneath where my microwave and wants to jump up next to the other cat. But since he's too big and lazy, he stops trying to get all the way up there and goes back down. I think my other cat broke a plate or glass (I forgot) from doing this once.
Wow. X3
