It is 2:30 a.m. and Speedie is flushing the toilet...repeatedly. He saw me do it once, ONCE I tell you, and he`s been doing it ever since. It`s a game to him. I`m glad my rent covers the water bill.
He also gives himself swirlies. I kid you not. He flushes the toilet and then sticks his head in the toilet as far down as he can get it. Considering the last time my toilet seat got replaced, they didn`t give me one with a seat cover and the door to the bathroom doesn`t always close properly, I can`t exactly keep him from doing this.
I`ve learned to laugh my head off at him andjust live with it. I mean, it IS friggin`funny.
Bengals...in some ways they`re great cats, but they`re very odd. They are kitties on crack without actually giving them crack and they`re smarter than any cat should be. He`s also my garbage kitty...I kid you not. My other three cats, none of them purebreds, wouldn`t touch the garbage even if they were starving and Speedie, the purebred, will make holes in the garbage bags and then crawl in them and sleep in the garbage. He is the strangest cat ever.
And God forbid the food dish is empty. That`s when he becomes a little destrutive machine and TRASHES my apartment. My friends didn`t believe me until they saw him in action. For a little cat (and even for a Bengal he is very small - this despite him being the second largest kitten in his litter - but he ended up small like his mum) he sure can cause a lot of damage. Just WHAT was I thinking when I got this cat?
His favourite toy is paper, my duster and cardboard box bits (which he creates by sinking his teeth into the cardboard and tearing it up). He fetches (sometimes) and thinks Sufi is for jumping on. He loves water and likes to play in it but HATES HATES HATES the squirt bottle. (WTF?!)
He`s now doing the `I`m pretending I`m asleep and watching the Big Hairless Cat with Opposable Thumbshoping she`ll forget I`m here so I can go on with my reign of destruction.` I`m not falling for that one, cat. I`m on to you now.
Good thing he`s so adorable and cute. It really is.
Anybody out there want a cat worth about $1,000? And no I actually DID NOT pay that much for him.
I`ll be posting pictures of the little turkey hopefully sometime next week.
Now I`m going to bed.
