Well, you'll never *WIN* that war ~

Soooo, it's sort of a question of "How much *enjoyment* do you
and the Kats get from the Battles?"

I used to *worry* about Boots getting BURNED on the stove...
But after *observing* his technique of navigating across the
burners - I quit worryin!

And after a while - ya *Learn* to avoid the Major Problems...

I cooked up a BIG Bucket of Mack 'n Cheeze 'n Tuna one nite...
Served MY plate, tossed the spoon on the stove;
and sat down to munch...

*LICK* *LICK* *LICKITY-LICK* - *KLUNK*
as the Kat-Licked spoon hit the floor...
(Oh well - I'll pick it up when I'm ready for seconds...)

Return to the stove (for seconds) to find ~
Da KAT, STANDING on the stove and REACHING INTO the M&C&Tuna bowl!

He'd Dip a Paw, Grab a Fist-Full, *shake* it off on the stove,
and gobble it up! Then stand back up, reach in again,
and grab another glob!

MEMO to Self:
COVER the Bowl when you leave ANYthing in the kitchen!

You'll Learn!
