Curiosity

Thor the kitten in the dishwasher

Having a kitten in the house, I have to check for him before closing doors. All doors. Cupboard doors, pantry doors, even the dishwasher door. He is fast and curious.

Tastes better

Thor the kitten thinks that water with a tinge of dog spit tastes better. He has learned to stand up on the edge to reach the water. He does have two of his own, properly sized, water bowls around the house.

Arm saver

Uh oh, I left you without kitten pictures for two days. Let’s rectify that.

Today I present a DIY arm saver. A rolled terry cloth hand towel, secured with an elastic hairband, makes a good kitten kick and bite toy. Thor the kitten likes to wrestle and bite. For the most part he keeps his claws in for this play, but he is losing his kitten teeth and needs to bite. I would prefer he not lacerate my arm. When he jumps on my lap and gets feisty, I substitute the rolled towel. Everyone is happy.

As a bonus, it also makes a good nap pillow.
