So our thoughtless humans left us to fend for ourselves for 25 hours and 50 minutes. They didn’t ask our kitty caregiver, Maggie, to come feed us our dinner Friday night or breakfast Saturday morning. They thought it was sufficient to leave three heaping bowls of dry food and five bowls of water. We really think they had that backwards as some of us prefer drinking from the toilet water fonts!
Anyway, when they returned, one bowl of food had only crumbs. We do not eat crumbs…ever! Another had about a half cup of food and one about a cup. We don’t even like the dry food bowls when they get down halfway, especially Giulietta who likes to scoop out pieces of food before eating.
As further insult they took just enough time to fill the bowls, let us all out and change their clothes so they could ride the tandem to Five Guys while the sun was out. They have a verbal agreement that they can only eat there if they bike. They were home for exactly one hour and left again for two and a half hours. They got a little payback; though, as the snow melt brought water over the greenway bridge that crosses the river so they had to turn around when they got to the bridge and backtrack. And in their haste, they didn’t check the weather before they left. It turned out to be super windy. MOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOL. (That’s all eight of us laughing hysterically and in unison.)
Mom had time to find and clean up two dried throw-ups before they left. We are not telling if we’ve hidden any others. They don’t deserve the courtesy.
The original smashed vase. (Photo first published August 23, 2012, in the post, “My Cat’s Better Than Your Cat.”) That’s our gray mousie toy in the right background.
They did foil us from getting into any trouble, however. We couldn’t pull the curtains down from the front window. Mom had already taken them down to launder. She also put her flowers and favorite vase in the living room. When she was away another time we smashed the one this replaced. This also meant that we were unable to gnarl the flowers down to nubs. Fiona and Astrid didn’t even get nekked by removing their collars. We were all perfect little angels.
Lily Olivia did pay them back a little this morning when she pushed Mom’s water bottle off the counter so that the lid popped off. It took three terry towels to mop up all the water off the floor and rug. MOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOLMOL. You know what that means.
Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette.
Kitties…any chance you are related to my teen? LOL…hugs and we love you no matter what you do…just watch it with the flowers…with those I get a little upset when they get trashed or Chewed On!! 🙂
I’ve been guilty of being away for long, long days…but my kitties understand I’m usually working and welcome me back home, no matter the hour. I’m not sure what they’d do if they found I was out playing!
Kitties, we feel your pain! Next time you are just going to have to have a house trashing party! They can’t stop you from doing that! We know from purrsonal experience, a good trashing party is very effective.
Sounds very mischievous to me kitties! But you’re right, the humans probably deserved it hehe 😉
Yes, dried throw up is its best revenge. Or better yet, plan to throw up at 2am when the humans are asleep–they’ll wake up fast! HMC
What a CAT -ASTROPHIE! :0
Oh yeah! You got the humans back good!!
You sure showed them that if they leave you too long, you’ll teach them a lesson! Good job, especially with the water bottle. I hope none of you got wet in the process, because you lose style points that way.
MOL, you kitties are certainly doing your best to teach your humans how to treat kitties right! How nice of you to be good while they were gone!
Ps. Five guys is awesome! My niece works there now and it’s like Best. Job. Ever! MOL
Tee! Hee! Yous guys makes purrfect Cats From Hell!
Kisses
Nellie
Even though you all were starving you managed to get some revenge in!!!
Ah yes! Revenge can be ever so sweet! My pawrents have the nerve to leave me occasionally for that long – and I make it purrfectly clear that I am NOT amused and I am NOT happy that they chose to abandon me. We can get our point across can’t we!! 😀 😀
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
You did what you had to do. It is totally understandable.
Oh we love it when parents have purrrfectly placed messes to find and clean up-especially if they don’t see it by the bed and are barefoot when they try to crawl into bed. SQUISH-mol
We are not kitties you can leave food for either-we’d just eat all at once, get sick and then starve to death the rest of the time. Will our parents ever learn-NOT! pfftt
Sometimes it’s not so good to be good while they’re gone. They might decide to take off again!
Ohhhh. You kitties are GOOD! We think Mommy knows better coz she’s never left us for even a night. Hahaha.
Silly humans!! The nerve of them. Don’t they know that cats rule??? And expecting you to eat the crumbs in the bowl. Now, really!
The kitties say “Vengence is ours”!! MOL I like your style. Maybe the humans have learnt their lesson, but somehow I doubt it!!! >^,,^<
