Macky, Mowie, and Sunny

Some backstory is needed.

First, my living room area, along with dining room and kitchen, have cathedral ceilings. Two of the four walls in my kitchen do not go entirely up to the ceiling. Thus, there’s an ‘open’ atmosphere between the kitchen, the hallway, and the dining room. These walls, that don’t hit the ceiling, are topped with crown molding giving it a ‘ledge’ effect.

Next, my kitchen cabinets were delivered last week and are in brown boxes that vary in size. They were placed in my living room until I get the free time to install them. Coicidentally, these boxes form a series of steps, for the cats, to the kitchen ledges.

Sure enough, Macky and Sunny discovered the pathway tonight.

Macky and Sunny are informally being charged with ‘improper water behavior’ for misbehaving during the afternoon hours of Tuesday, July 17th, pending investigation.  It is believed that Sunny flipped over the water dish causing the water to spread over a small area of the new flooring.  Macky is believed to be the mastermind behind this plot to destroy the new floor and bring back the carpet.

According to our private sources (read: Mowie), Macky has been quoted as saying, “this place is mine! I’m only letting those humans live here!  I want carpet back! Oh, oh, new poop in the litterbox, gotta go!”

If formally charged, Macky and Sunny coud face up to one week of no cookies.

We all know Macky loves to steal things and then hide them in his secret stash (but really, it’s just under, or around, the bed). So here’s a list of things he’s stolen. As a side note, Macky reminds me a lot of Sawyer from Lost. But that’s another entry for another time. :)

1. My digital camera.

2. Plenty of socks.

3. Rita’s Custard Cone wrapping paper stuff.

4. Numerous water bottle caps.

5. Rebecca’s hair ties clips things.

6. Milk container caps.

7. Rebecca’s necklace.

Macky fell in the toilet.

Again.

We recently bought the kiddies one of those ceiling high scratching post things. Mowie has no interest, of course, but that’s ok, she’s a dada’s girl.

Macky and Sunny, however, have been all over it. They go from the desk, to the window sill, and to the 3rd level post — and then back. Very quickly. I haven’t seen anyone on the highest level, though (except for maybe Rebecca). I thought they were too young to venture up there. Rebecca did call it though. As we were setting the post up, she said they’ll be on top of the DVD racks. We shrugged it off thinking we had a few more weeks until they had enough courage to make the trek.

We were wrong. Very, very wrong.

On top of my DVD racks, I have three Disney animation cells on display that Rebecca bought me for Christmas (I love these things). Well, this morning, they were no longer there. Instead, they were on the floor. Scattered, face down, on the floor. Apparently who ever knocked them over doesn’t like Disney. Well, we can certainly scratch Sunny out — he loves Disney. Specifically, he loves the Lion King — he thinks he’s Simba. Also, a few DVDs were pushed out of their racks and onto the floor. I looked at the titles, but unfortunately, they led to no further conclusions.

And you all wonder how a kitten could break his leg.

I put everything away and went on with my day. As I’m online, I hear something — it sounds like nails scratching on plastic. I turn around and look at the scratching post; nothing. I look at the leather chair; nothing. Then, in the corner of my eye, I see this little rat on top of my DVD racks. He was just sitting up there laughing at me. It was Macky. The one with the broken leg. The one that has already lost, count it, two of his lives.

Oh, and I have proof as you can see below. My camera is dying so my flash wasn’t working. The pictures are of bad quality, but you get the idea of the situation.

Macky is being charged with 2 counts of being absolutely crazy. If found guilty, he could be held without MySpace for up to two weeks.

“Hm, what movie do I want to watch?”

“Sunny, what movie do I want to watch?”

“Oh, oh, Nemo! The Nemo movie, Macky!.”

“No Sunny, we watch guns.  And blood.  And war!”

“Sunny, your choices are The Fast and The Furious, Jaws, or the Rocky series.”

“Nemo!”

“I told you, we don’t watch kid movies!”
