Geoffrey Kitten

This afternoon has been fraught with hoolikitten moments.

You see, I went to visit a friend, and help solve a small problem that
she has. She's got a nice study, but whenever she wants to use the
Internet, she has to take her laptop into the sitting room, because
there's no phone socket in the study. My task for the afternoon was to
string an extension socket upstairs. Easy? Would have been, except for
my little helper.

Geoffrey is not very old, tabby (except for a weird dime-sized patch
of purest ginger on the top of his head!), and very *very* lively.
Wriggling cables, power tools and humans crouching on the floor are
the stuff of life to him.

For nearly two hours he chased and pounced, and issued forth pathetic
squeaks when lifted away from the danger areas (yes, this kitten was
trying to kill a running power drill!).

But I had my revenge. As I enjoyed a post-task coffee, I found
Geoffrey sacked out after all his exercise on a chair. So, I got my
digital camera out, poked him rudely, and fired the flash into his
face! Herewith, please enjoy a picture of a grouchy hoolikitten,
freshly awoken from his beauty sleep

Geoffrey is so cute; aren't all his hoolikitten transgressions forgiven?

All of them!

Except the bit where he climbed up my arm and sat on the back of my head
while I was wiring up the phone socket, and - perched there - adopted
the 'cello' position and gave his junk a quick freshening-up. To the
unbounded, hysterical glee of my friend.

I'll forgive him for that later.

Cheers,
Al.

It's so nice when they feel safe enough to challenge all manner of
things, even though we have to be extra watchful to make sure they
don't get hurt. Sammy is the only one of my three who was born here,
and not many indoor noises bother her, with the exception of the
vaccuum. Oh, and thunderstorms, but that's outside noise coming
inside. Outside she's much more skittish, since she's not allowed out
except under supervision. I've actually caught her reaching through
the chain link fence to swat at the neighbor's dog a couple times, so
she doesn't know shat she should be afraid of outside. When she was
younger I caught her actually trying to reach down the garbage
disposal.

But I had my revenge. As I enjoyed a post-task coffee, I found

He's sure a striking fellow with those unusual markings.

Doesn't look grouchy to me -- just "did you want something?" kind of
look.

Awwww.... what a good little helper!

What a doll!!

Adorable! ...But Geoffrey looks more calico than tabby - aure you SURE
he's a "he"? (I guess male calicos are possible, but they're pretty
rare.)
