Last night, I boiled a big pot of new potatoes, some to eat hot, some to
make a salad for lunch. After draining them I left them to cool in the pot. Then I realised I'd absentmindedly put the lid of the pot in the dishwasher and started it, so I had nothing to cover it with. Then I sort of forgot about the whole thing, just left the pot without a lid so the potatoes could cool off before I put them in the fridge. Anyone who's read anything I've ever posted about Caliban can probably see what's coming. Some time later, I had taken a fresh loaf of bread out of the oven and put it away safely so Caliban wouldn't steal it. Then I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Caliban jumping down from the counter with that 'I stole something and Meowmie didn't notice' scamper. I thought, 'but I hid the bread. It was too big for him to carry it away, anyway.' I ran after him into the corner, where he was huddling over his loot while scarfing it down. A big plain boiled potato. And he was soooo proud. The scamp! -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Hey, the heist is half the fun! =o) LOL I wonder if he thought the prize was worth the daring, but of course, he'd never admit it if he didn't. Give that naughty potato thief an ear scritch from me, and tell him Nin and Francesca admire his great daring. They still both think he's a mighty handsome devil. Melissa |

Caliban will try anything once (more if he likes what he gets) New potatoes are one of my favourite veggies so I can't say I blame him Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

The scamp! LOL Obviously he's not on a low-carb diet! Persia loves potatoes but usually only if they're fried or drenched in butter. And she's never hauled one off before! So Caliban has her beat Give that tater-head a few scritches for me. Jill |

He was happily munching away on it, and he was not happy at all when I took it away from him. Maybe I should have let him have it. There's no need for such a strict diet any more. But I don't want to reward his thieving. Give that naughty potato thief an ear scritch from me, and tell him Nin and Francesca admire his great daring. They still both think he's a mighty handsome devil. I gave him the scritch and I told him two cat ladies in California (right?) luuurrve him. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.
