The Truth? You can't handle the truth!
The other night during dinner a dropped chickpea fell off the table and rolled across the floor and the kitten bounced on it because ALL MOVING THINGS MUST DIE, and then he proceeded to eat it and lick his little whiskered chops.
So Z and I blinked at each other and promptly began to experiment on the baby, discovering in the process that it lapped up raisins, couscous, olives, courgettes and more chickpeas.
Cat people, what is going on? Is this normal? Is it a phase? Is it teenage rebellion? Should I be investing in brocolli?
Also, the little deviant spends an awful lot of time in the bathroom actually playing with water! Has he no shame?
water water everywhere

The other day my relationship nearly came to tears when Z stuck his great big hairy foot in his great big mouth and tried to explain to me why I look much more appealing with no glasses, after I asked rhetorically why it is that my face looks kind of round and funny in pictures.
Z: It's because of your glasses.
N: Eh?
Z: Well, your glasses really change the shape of your face. Whenever you have them on you look really different. With no glasses you're like - sexy cat! With glasses it's schoolteacher.
N with a touch of frost But you can't even SEE my glasses on most photographs.
Z: I know, but they still change the shape of your face.
Because with glasses your face scrunches up sometimes and you look kind of like a mole. Or a hamster.
N: Stares at him with speechlessness.
Z: But you know it’s not that bad! I mean there are lots of positive things! Like because you’re wearing glasses it’s good for me since people aren’t going to be lusting after you.
N: Attains new levels of shock.
Z: Um, why are you looking at me funny?
N: Because at this moment in time I am debating between breaking up with you and eye surgery.
