Some members may know that even as kittens, our two Burmese cats were hooligans...with Silky being the leader of the gang. In this country, youths that display anti-social behaviour are taken to court, and issued with an Anti Social Behaviour Order..this would place restrictions on the offender so that he/she would be a good boy. These orders are known by everybody as ASBOs. If there was one for feline, our naughty blue tortie would definatley be given one.
Amongst her favourite tricks are:-
Jumping off the newel post at the foot of the stairs and launching herself onto the curtain pelmet of the dining room window..then jumping approx. 6ft over to the pelmet of the patio doors before ending up on the top shelf of the CD rack. She would then turn around before doing the journey in the oppsite direction...usually running along and growling at the same time. She would proceed to jump back on to the newel post again...this is only 3inches by 3 inches..before running up the stair rail onto the newel post at the top of the stairs.
Perching on the top of doors around the house before jumping straight down to the floor, usually scaring the living daylights of anybody who was around. She will often use anybody that is available to enable her to get up to the top of doors...often jumping onto a shoulder before reaching her objective.
If she is displeased with us...like when we have been out of the house for too long.. we will find that somebody has "piddled"in the kitchen sink..and it isn't a human that has doen it, nor her sister Willow or even Miss Magic. This is known to most of the family and our friends as a "protest p*ss"!!!!! All other times, she uses the litter tray.
She always has a play session with Vickie in the evening..this usually involves her chasing some toy, piece of plastic, a zip tie or other around the lounge..she will bring her plaything and drop it at Vickie's feet and look up at her expectantly. If Vickie doesn't notice her, a paw will be placed on Vickie's foot. If she continues to ignore Silky, a paw will go onto Vickie's knee. Further ignoring will lead to the ultimate.....the paw will go into Vickie's knee with the claws extended!!!!!!
Her ultimate piece of mischief is that she can open doors by jumping up and pulling down on the door handle. Martyn...our son...has changed his door handle to a round one, so that he doesn't get an unwanted visitin the middle of the night. We have even seen her holding onto the back door handle and trying to turn the key in the lock!! A few weeks ago, we found the front door wide open several times, and the girls were found exploring the new territory of the front garden. At first, we thought that we hadn't shut the door properly, but no, we saw the little witch jumping up and flipping the catch on the lock, and using her featherweight to open the door. Needless to say, we think we have now beaten her and stopped her little games. At great expense, we fitted a child proof high security Yale lock......this requires the user to push in a button quite hard and at the same time drop the latch. She hasn't figured this out .........YET!!!!!!!!!
:rotfl: Such a character!
:neener: Paul she is keeping you and Vickie young and on your toes! I truly think you are exaggerating, that beautiful girl :luv2: couldn't possibly do those awful things! Shame on you. :rotfl:
:rotfl: :rotfl: Oh how I've missed hearing about Silky's adventures!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
