Soo, my kitty cat, Ami, has always been great when it came to my beading. She's never stolen off with them to play, I've never found them in the litterbox, and she loves to help me dig all the Styrofoam peanuts off new bead orders when they arrive. Little did I know, she was just biding her time.....

I woke up this morning, and as I'm walking by my bead station, I notice that my box was tipped over. Sucks, I thought, one of the kids must've knocked the table. I started to talk to Isaac (3yrs) about it, and he innocently said, "No, Mom, the kitty did it." Then my eyes started to expand, and I found every last pearl I have scattered about the floor, surrounding a smelly "kitty present". AAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!! So, here I am, with a cold so bad, I can hardly see, first thing in the morning, picking pearls out of crap. The ONLY brightside is that I can't SMELL anything, with this cold. Most of them are ok, but I'll be washing them ALL; I did sacrifice a 3mm turquoise round to the mess, but I think it was reconstituted, anyway.

I know why s he did it, too...those little beads were just innocent scapegoats, the poor things. Ami gets no table scraps whatsoever, with one small exception: she gets to drink the tuna water when I drain it. Last night, while making Tuna Helper, I didn't give it to her, and she *cried* for two hours! Stinkin' cat, thinks she owns the place!

]Stinkin' cat, thinks she owns the place!

Oh eeeww, you poor thing, ick! What on earth makes a cat do that? Are the creating their own kitty litter or something? My cat cried if I forgot to give her the tuna water but wouldn't touch table scraps.

Well, that'll learn ya to give your cat tuna juice. ;-)

Jessica Sillywhiskers was too old and fat to get up on the table by the time I took up beading, but in her younger days she had a thing for anything grass-shaped, regardless of fiber content.

We used to put icicles on our holiday tree -- until the year the dumb cat decided to eat every icicle she could reach, up the the height of about two and a half feet. I dunno how she managed it without knocking the tree over.

At any rate, she gakked up the most *festive* hairballs you've ever seen for about a week.

Does your very little dog have very scruffy fur? Sophie is a very little dog, and doesn't care much about beads, but they do get caught in her moustache and then fall off in her water dish.

Of course, if I could manage to keep the beads off the floor, things would be much different. The very little dog doesn't go on the furniture.
