TOES

Ok - here is our 15lb cat - no he is not fat at all - in fact he is ALL muscle. He is a beast and we refer to him as "satan" because he does things that deliberately drive us crazy. In the morning he knocks our clocks off our bed top, knocks pictures off the dresser, chews on shopping bags, lays on whatever papers or magazine you may be reading, claws at the sofa and most of all he loves to bite Jonathan's toes.

This is a story that I could not pass up sharing because we have the perfect picture to show how evil "palladio" really is.

When we were living in Philadelphia, we had this fantastic NY style loft. We wanted to put our bed above the bathroom which was the only part of the loft that had 4 walls. Jonathan built this really cool ladder so that we could get up and down and it soon became a jungle gym for our cat. He would run up and down like a maniac and leap up to all the cross beams in the ceiling because our place used to be an old warehouse.

Anyway - at night he would wait for Jon to turn out the lights and then literally chase him up the ladder nipping at his heels. It was the funniest thing - he never did it to me - only to Jon - he would even hide and the minute Jon would get to the first rung of the ladder he would start the chase. Jonathan hated it and even tried carrying a water gun with him to spray the cat on his way up - needless to say it did not work!

We have since put a bell on his collar to signal the warning signs of the approaching tiger.

Every since then "satan" has had an affinity for Jon's feet and whenever he leaves is feet out of the covers of our bed - he will attack and bite Jon's toes.

Last night Jon was laying in bed watching TV and all of a sudden - his big toe was chomped on and then palladio was out of site. The attacks have been more frequent lately. It may not sound funny to you - but it is hilarious to watch - mostly because Jon is afraid of our cat and getting his toes bitten!
