Midnight in the kitchen

When the kitten tots are in their beds; and Miss Jack & Ollie have turned in with me; Miss Scraps is locked in her room (for her own protection)


as I lie awake thinking of everything I apparently couldn't bother to think about while awake the last 14 hours drift off to sleep I hear it

a gloinggg, gloinng, gloinggloinggloing....


feetfeetfeetfeet, sllliiiiide, gloingggg, gloinnggloinggloing.....


And then as I peer over the edge of the bed (moving Ollie's head out of the way) I see it!

It's so fast I only get a swish  view as it flies from the doorframe from right to left!

Then left to right!   Then back again!

gloingg, gloinggg,  feetfeetfeetfeet, sliiiiiiiide

*sigh*

The Ol' Bat's at it again.  She's found the ping pong ball the kitten tots left under the table and now it's racing across the lino kitchen floor, the diningroom floor around the table legs (all 24 of them) and back to the kitchen where it becomes trapped and then released.


Ollie is no dummy; when Ms Stella is playing like that it's best to stay out of her way.

Cod luff her

  8. Of course exercise is necessary for kitties and the timing of the exercise along with achieving maximum volume levels is best done between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. :)

  9. Well done Ms. Stella! We kitties have to do our part to keep the beans awake at night. They just need to learn to take naps in the daytime like us, MOL
