Pixel's latest victim...

[IttyBittyKitty]

There has been much bloodshed in our little house of late. In just the last two weeks, a number of innocent books have been attacked, with their pages ripped out. Other books have been found with teeth marks on their corners.

You have all seen the picture of Pixel caught en flagrante but here it is again to refresh your memory:



The situation has become even more dire in the last week. We have lost our comrades the mobile phone charger and the pink button headphones. They will be sorely missed. The charger was replaced with a coward who hides in the cupboard, but the headphones were replaced with Black Sony button head phones that were not afraid to stand up to the threat LIKE A MAN!

Unfortunately, that bravery was rather foolhardy, as commendable as it was. The following picture is not for the faint hearted:



We suspect the cat PIXEL as being the culprit.

Thus far, she has managed to evade capture. She has blue eyes, a cute grey nose, white whiskers and adorable white paws. Here is a photo of her being cute. WARNING: she may be heavily armed and dangerous.



There will be a reward for anyone who locates the elusive PIXEL! If you have any information, please call 1800-Nawtee-Cat NOW!

I look at the second photo and I think "look at that innocent little baby sleeping - how can anyone call her a NAWTEE-CAT???"

But do take heart, you are not alone. I too am a victim of this crime wave. So far I have lost: a mobile phone charger, a parallel printer cable, the ORIGINAL of the LEASE for my house numerous telephone cables (the twisty bouncy ones), two sets on horizontal kitchen blinds and a leather handbag!

Of course all I can do is say to her "Oh Ally - don't do that again......snuggle snuggle" and then rush out to buy a replacement for whatever she has eaten before Daddy gets home from work and finds out!

Oh dear! I am sorry to say that your post had me cracking up with laughter! How did Ally destroy venetian blinds and a leather handbag? This was worse than I originally thought

Teehee Pixel, you really are such a nawtee little cat, but like all cats you've inherited that "being cute" look...and you've perfected it to a master degree!!!

IttyBittyKitty, have you ever read one of the "The cat, who..." novels by Lilian Jackson Braun?!
The main character is owned by two cats just like sweet Pixel and one of the cats there (Koko) loves to pick books out of his owners library...Koko does this, because he wants to give a hint to a current criminal case...and he's always successful in solving all the lost cases...so maybe Pixel with her super cat intelligence just wants to give you a hint to something as well???

Hmmm Pixel what should I say. If it comes to books I am a little special. And Filou knows that. When he wants to wake me up in the night he comes and walks all over me and purrs. If I still *sleep* he begins to slice the magazines that lay besides the bed. He even scratched the back of a poetry book!!!!!

As everyone here I have no idea what we can do about it! Maybe prison. Or deportation. Or snuggling or scritchies

As I see this crime wave, the biggest cluprit is LACK OF CAT COMPANIONSHIP ! Notice how Ally (an only kitty) and Pixel (an only kitty) are getting to be the worse offenders. Now take my house for example. 14 and no possible chance for BOREDOM, my cables and phone linse are as safe as can be. The cats just chew on each other.

IBK - the leather handbag - she chewed right through the handles. (I wouldn't have minded so much, except it was a Brown and Black "Marino Orlandi" with brass trim!!!!) The blinds - she sits on the watercooler in the kitchen, and then chews each slat until it is messed up, them moves on to the next one!

Here she is sitting on the watercooler - ready for her next assault on the blinds!

This thread is too funny!!!

Jen, this is JUST the argument I have been using to convince The Powers That Be that she needs constant supervision ... by a strong, sensitive male cat who can KEEP HER IN LINE!

Ally is BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen a full portrait of her, although she's got the tuxy colours, her figure looks VERY oriental! She's not a member of the expensive leather-chewin' Oriental gangs, is she

[Barbara]

Ally you look VERY COOL on your water cooler and also VERY ACTIVE

[krazyaboutkatz]

Yes, I agree with Jen in that both Pixel and Ally need a sibling to keep them out of trouble. It works in my household.

I think I saw Pixel at our house.

Someone has been chewing MASSIVE holes in the front curtains. We didn't worry about it as we'll replace them one day, but we saw them from the outside and the neighbours must think we're totally feral! If I see Pixel, I'll pop her on the plane home

Ally and Pixel, you look so cute while planning your next wave of mischief. Lovable, while an only cat, is pretty well behaved as regards objects (though he does like to scratch my leather purse). Yes things are safe but I am not. I sit on one of kitchen chairs at the computer and Lovable likes to get up on his hind legs and claw at my behind through the opening between the seat and the chair back. This gets my attention very quickly. I hope the miscreants Ally and Pixel are quickly brought to justice, and cuddles.

[jenluckenbach]

SHHH Steffi....you are ruining my arguments here!!!

[Steffi N]

Yes, Jen, I agree that catpanionship would be good for Ally and Pixel. "Only" cats are an exception to the rule, and when my employment situation improves, just maybe.....
