A small trail of destruction

She may look all innocence and peace but believe you me Tilly has far from grown out of her predilection for living life like a manic bag of frogs!


In just the week since we returned from our Christmas trip away her catalogue of destruction has increased dramatically to include yet more casualties. There are more curtains with 'track marks' and pulls, a torn bed sheet, the result of trying to apply her brakes way too fast, a broken vase, a bonsai tree looking somewhat 'ragged' through her constant passion for it as a dietary supplement, more scratches on my now almost beyond redemption leather computer chair, a storage basket minus a handle, apparently seagrass is a tasty tidbit for teething kittens, a constantly soaked corner of the kitchen carpet from her incessant attempts at high diving off the counter tops into her water bowl and a very old and precious teddy bear with more tufts of fur removed than over forty years of ownership had managed!

Her claw ends have been clipped, much to her annoyance, she currently 'enjoys' quite regular spells of 'time out' in the hallway and she has been subjected to the odd stern talking too here and there.....but does she care?....does she hell, she puts her head on one side, looks the disciplinarian hard in the eye and begins to purr at a decibel level of a large tractor!

Oh, and I still get woken at an unearthly hour each day having my chin or hair chewed! God love her!

She is a cutie. I love "manic bag of frogs." I must remember that one.
