Maybe Charlie didn't want the Christmas festivities to end?

Can we really blame Charlie for wanting the Christmas spirit to be year round?

So you left a box full of ceramics at a height of 3'+, near the edge of a shelf or similar, probably with the top of the box off, locked in a room with cats?

It's all part of the cat experiance.

My wife bought these christmasy long stem decorative glass tealight candle things (the gently caress do I know, it's her thing).

They came in a pack of three and the cat knocked one over.

She was super seriously bummed. I found the last store in a town 40 miles away to still have them. They didn't sell them individually. They are also distinct in that they are of a different heights.

I was a hero. I made her cherished thing whole. And I had spares for the other two.


A week later the cat knocked the same one over again :(

In my experience, boys are much more likely to knock poo poo over than girls. They're more prone to chasing each other around, and maybe also like to shove their stupid heads against precarious objects while marking them with their cheek glands. Although girls are not immune from either behavior.

Serious advice: get ahold of some museum wax and use it to stick down anything fragile that you put on shelves the cats can get to.

My girl cat likes to get on the end table and push every object off, one by one. Remotes, coasters, tissue boxes, anything that's there. She just kind of bats them over the edge and watches them fall. It's so deliberate. We had a male cat who did that when I was a kid, too.

Basically, all cats are assholes.

Sorry about your plates, acrobatbob. :( Those cats sure know how to show their appreciation for your hospitality.

Good times.

I think everyone just needs to let him settle into his work, he's probably a bit overwhelmed with the moving across the country and starting a new job, which probably has new technologies, and new ways of working that he needs to concentrate on.

I lived with a girl cat that looked just like Charlie and she was destructive as hell. Knocked over plants on the reg. I once caught her pulling a thumb tack out of the wall with her teeth. Also very vocal and demanding of attention when it suited her. Maybe they're related.

Edit: also, like Charlie, she was adorable and therefore difficult to stay mad at.

Cats are minions of Satan, they don't like Jesus. This is why they smashed the Christmas plates and also they have been stealing the children's breath.
