Foolish Feline!

My brother is in deep Trouble—with a capital T. You will not be able to believe his ridiculous behavior! Mandy stepped outside to water her plants and when she turned around, she caught Elway at the fish pond. I am sure you all know Rule Number Three for outside behavior by now, but if you need reminding it is “No Fishing.” Now Elway was not just fishing, his face was clear in the water whiskers and all! Oh, Mandy was furious! She marched over and picked up Elway and set him in the big tub. However, since this is the third offence in less than two weeks time, Elway was picked up and set in the big tub as soon as he got out. He was returned to the big tub three times, and on the last time, he just sat down on the steps. The crazy cat did not get out of the big tub! He just sat in the water and enjoyed it! He was purring! He just sat there cleaning his front paws! Mandy was shocked! Not only did Elway break Rule Number Three, he mocked her punishment! She went storming inside mumbling about bad cats, and marched into our litter box room, only to discover that litter was thrown all over the floor and strung clear into the bedroom. Now Mandy was irate. She cleaned up our mess—which I will blame Elway for today—and returned to the kitchen for another cup of coffee.

Elway is sitting outside next to the big tub. He says the water was pleasant! In fact, he is sniffing at the big tub right now and sticking his front paw in on his own accord! What a crazy cat!

Well, I think I better try and make up with Mandy for the both of us! She bought us new food for dinner, and I cannot wait for dinner time!
