BK's obsession

"BK" (Black Kitty) is a weirdo. He's obsessed with water and anything
related to water. You've seen the photos of him sitting in the kitchen
sink while the water's running, getting all wet (and not minding), while
watching the water go down the drain. By extension, he's also fascinated
by the items that are kept near the sink. He likes to move these items to
random places in the apartment. Tonight I came home and found:

- the steel wool scouring pad on the kitchen floor
- the blue plastic vegetable scrubber on the dining area floor
- the dish sponge on the living room floor

This water obsession apparently also extends to his water bowl. He likes
to put various objects in it. Tonight I found a garbage twistie tie and
a small plastic cat that's (usually) part of a collection of decorative
items on my bedside table. What does this mean??

I wish Gizmo liked water. She runs as soon as she hears the tap. She'll
drinkw ater fro her bowl but thats about it. She won't go outside if its
raining and looks at the garden hose like its the arch enemy or something.
If I am watering she'll sit up on the fence in "atack" pose...you all know
the one.

However this hatred of water didn't stretch to the fish bowl when she helped
herself to my goldfish (after watching them intently for 3 months). I guess
the temptation of the fish overwhelmed the water hatred

LOL! Aren't all cats? Haven't you decided on a name yet?

Anyway, Nikki is just as weird. She puts toys in her water dishes, and
sometimes she puts food there, as well. The funniest is when I give the cats
fresh herrings, and she dunks them in the water, as if expecting them to
swim. She likes lying in the wash basin and when I turn on the water, she
just lies there, wondering why Meowmie is laughing at her. She may glance up
to see where the water is coming from, but it doesn't disturb her at all. I
suppose it's not surprising that she went swimming for those water voles
last summer.

A kitty has got to do what a kitty has got to do! MLB

It means BK's "stash" is underwater (slightly more inconvenient than one of
our RB cat's under-the-bed "stash" of purloined goodies).....and BTW, are
you sure this tuxedo-colored dude is not a Turkish Van (they love water) in
a tuxedo?

LOL, who knows? Maybe he is. I haven't actually seen him immerse himself
in water - I'm not sure he'd go that far.

Oh, another item I found in his water bowl was a peeling from a butternut
squash. I had peeled the squash over the sink, and I left the peelings in
there because it was too late in the evening to run the garbage disposal
(my neighbor's bedroom is right underneath my kitchen). So he must have
jumped into the sink, grabbed a peeling in his mouth, and dumped it into
the water bowl.

He's a character - lots of fun! (Except when I can't find the sponge... )

Awww!

My cats (who also rearrange items from time to time) say that BK is
practicing the art of Kitty Feng Shui.

A dish sponge on the living room floor??

OK, I guess I shouldn't argue with a cat's idea of Feng Shui.

I swear Bruiser has been reading the newsgroup. Last night he dug the
rubber drain cover out of the garbage disposal and carried it into the
dining room.
