It's probably hard to imagine that a sweet, adorable little kitten like this could grow up to be such a nightmare. But I can assure you, he has. He's already destroyed a number of things that were very important to us, including a glass piece from our wedding. And remember those wonderful new carpets we just had installed? Well it seems he found a long string of mesh from the bottom of one and ATE it. So now it's slowly working its way through his system. And as that process started he spent Friday night leaving skid marks all over our new carpet in effort to remove the string from his behind. (No pictures available for obvious reasons). I was out of town (oh, darn!), so R was in charge of clean up. We now own a nice new carpet cleaner. It does do a nice job, I'm happy to report. As for what we are going to do with this menace of a cat (if he survives the string fiasco) is very much up for debate.
