Well Mr Perfect (Quill) finally got in some real trouble today! Quill never gets in real trouble - even when he's naughty he looks so "cute" that my parents are pushovers. Meanwhile it's a constant stream of "Greyson No! Greyson get down!" at all times over here.
So this morning Mom opened the living room window for some fresh air. Dad was up watching TV and Mom was "at work" in our office. All of a sudden Quill was all "Is that a bug on the screen?" and I was all "Huh?" and then he went for it. Twenty-three pounds of pussycat clawing up the window screen. It's impressive I have to say - he's like Spideycat!
Dad started yelling and Quill (never having been yelled at - like ever) was all startled and got his clawrs caught and couldn't jump down. So he freaked and thrashed through the screen, which ripped a big ole hole in it, before he ran to Mom to protect him.
Dad then freaked out, pushed on the screen till the whole thing popped off the track, and broke on the ground. So then Mom was all upset at Dad.
It was EPIC! And ALL QUILL'S FAULT! I was not in any trouble at all! It was AWESOME!!
And we're getting a new screen with cat-proof screen, which yes Quill can climb too. AWESOME!
OMC. Seriously??? Wow, that was epic, for sure. I guess when Quill gets in trouble, he goes BIG!
ReplyDeleteGlad no one got hurt.
MOL! Wally's done that...climbed right up the screen door. And he got in lots of trouble! ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteHey, Quill! 23 pounds, huh? You are a he-mancat. We weigh 19 pounds between us, but it's plenty for our size and DSH breed. Our mom thinks we exert plenty of heft when we play thundering herd through the house. We are only allowed TINY slivers of opened window--about six inches--due to Mom's belief that a climb or leap would damage a screen or cat more than our nose presses, poking, and wriggling into the gap does. She might be right, or just lucky so far. Your furriends, Alfie and Binky.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm totally impressed! When Quill finally goes out and is bad, he does it all the way! He is as big as some of the Maine coons I see at cat shows!
ReplyDeleteWe's been goin nutso tryin to catch flies - it are a lotta fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! (And Greyson, I feel you! :D )
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading more about your new window screen. I'm about getting cats and I'm worried how I can prevent them from escaping through the window. It was actually just yesterday that I wrote a post on windows and cats. http://whenthecatisaway.com/inside-or-outdoor-cats/
So I'd really appreciate if you followed up on your window screen solution on your blog.
Whoa, that really is epic! Quill, I get in trouble for climbing the front porch screen all the time, at least all the time I'm allowed on the front porch, which is not often enough. - Ashton
ReplyDeleteYou need to sell tickets for next time. I want a front row seat please.
ReplyDelete23 pounds Quill? That's a lot of ample. That's the same weight Eric was when he was at his biggest. I have never been more than 16 pounds though.
Twenty-three pounds--he's a big boy! We definitely want to see the screen that can handle that ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou guys had some excitement! BTW, we think you're both cute.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Lola and Lexy
okay yes, but did he at least get the bug?
ReplyDeleteTWENTY THREE POUNDS?????? OMC. I guess big kitties get into big trouble. This post was MOST entertaining.
ReplyDeletewow that sure was a lot of excitement for sure!! Best part? YOU didn't get yelled at!!
ReplyDeleteOMC, how exciting ! Did Quill finally get the bug ? Purrs
ReplyDeleteOh my Ceiling Cat, that was an exciting adventure.
