Cats are so weird. I have not been able to make that trick work. Of course, Harvey is quite capable of opening Tupperware cannisters, and he is as stubborn as all of his Siamese forebears put together so aluminum foil is hardly a challenge for him. (I've had too many plastic-eaters to use that.) And the cats I had before him were pretty easy to show where we wanted them to scratch.
They are! Tinfoil on the counters was totally unsuccessful as a means of keeping them off, it works better when I can wrap it around the forbidden thing so that they'd have to get their claws into it to move it. Percy eats "stiff" plastic, the kind that soda bottles come wrapped in. Just chews at it until he gets a bit to swallow. (Another reason why I stopped buying plastic bottles!) But he doesn't chew on plastic wrap. Guess it doesn't have that satisfying mouthfeel. But I do not complain, because neither of them has ever (knock wood) gone outside the box, and neither of them barfs except very infrequently and never on anything except the floor.
Ryan is a very lucky little guy.
He very much is!
Aw, Ryan and fam. So much cuteness and love.
In less happy news, someone broke the hasp on a crawlspace door and stole the wire out of one of our houses at work. This happens on occasion, but it still sucks. Price of doing business in the hood
For the record, I am not enjoying being a girl today.
Oh, that's no good, smonster. Hope it doesn't leave you too low on materials.
Aw, Ryan and fam. So much cuteness and love.
Too adorable.
smonster, that does suck.
Vortex, that sucks too. You are amazing example of awesome girl-ness, therefore it is right and good that you get to enjoy being a girl at all times. Now if only I can come up with a way to enforce my will on the universe....
I've never understood the concept of "enjoying" being a girl. Mostly it's annoying, when you have to deal specifically girl-related things, like bras and periods and misogynism. What's to enjoy, exactly?
Ryan sounds like such a sweetie pie!
I'm not going to make it to PT today, and I'm really upset about it. I'm having major stomach ick, though so there is just no way. I'm trying not to take this as my body's way of saying, "So you thought you were going to control me, ha!"

Heh. Hope you feel better, sj.
What's to enjoy, exactly?
I enjoy that I can express myself with a wider range of gender-aligned attributes than guys do. I like that a lot. I don't know if I would trade that for the amount of misogyny I've experienced. I like boobies. I think multiple Os are great.
Given the effortless option, I wouldn't switch.
