Flanny is indeed a suede hot water bottle. If you’re sick in bed, she is the perfect size and temperature to make you feel better.
Sippy is the scourge of all paper items. Not only do I have many books that have been thoroughly chomped, she has absconded with and nommed money. Not so long after we got the girls, Exhubbicula and I ordered a pizza. As we always did, we laid the money, in this case, a $20 bill, on the entryway table, so it would be handy when the pizza dude arrived.
When the doorbell rang, I went out to the entry and found … no money. It was the only cash I had in my purse, so while the pizza guy waited, I was going around the house, trying to figure out where the money had gone. From under the bed I heard this sly *crinkle-snarp* sound. I got down and looked under. There was Sippy, all of about 4 lbs. at that point, trying to be quiet and stay hidden, but the lure of the crispity new $20 was too much to resist. She was under there chomping little holes all around the perimeter of the bill. I managed to get the money away from her, but it was in pretty bad shape. Reader, I paid the pizza dude with it.


I’m sure cat spit wasn’t even the tenth worst thing a pizza delivery guy has seen soiling cash.
Ewwww! I’m sure you’re right.
That’s awesome.
Somewhere in my house are the 2 halves of a dollar bill. I got “smart” and gave the kitties a low denomination to tear apart. Once they split it, they lost interest. Skritches is currently into knocking stuff off tables. The rest of them just eat, sleep, poop & bitch at each other.
Flanny is into Gravitational Studies. This is why I have NO clutter in my house. Anything loose and light enough for her to shove it off a horizontal surface, she’ll do it.
I had a paper-tearing kitty.
One of my sisters sent off a batch of craft supplies, including a pack of paper doilies.
They died a glorious death.
Bahaha! Why not? A kitty-spitty $20 spends as well as a clean one does.
