There is an air vent that points directly on top of our fridge in the kitchen, whenever Pushpin hears the heat kick in she darts to the kitchen to do this under the hot air:

Clarence slipped out the back door when my flatmate opened it, then spent several hours hiding in the hedge. He copped a proper washing from trundles when he emerged.

This absolute goblin managed to out-do himself this week (OK, not technically today, but Tuesday).

As I was rummaging in the freezer looking for something unhealthy, he waited until I had opened the lowest freezer drawer and had fished out the ice-cream, and as I stood up to put the tub on the worktop, he jumped into the drawer. As he is a "big lad", his weight made the drawer fall out, which startled him, making him wail and scramble away with all claws out - right onto my foot.

As I stood there, whimpering and waiting for the pain to subside, he watched unsympathetically from the kitchen doorway. When I figured that I could use my foot again, I went to put the drawer back in the freezer, didn't realise that I was bleeding everywhere, and slipped over in a small pool of my own blood. As I laid there wondering what the gently caress was going on in my life, he walked over, licked a bit of the blood off the floor, and then sodded off again.

One plaster and a bit of floor mopping later, he joined me on the sofa to demand a taste of the ice-cream. He displayed no remorse for his crimes. Yes, he did get a taste of ice-cream. I am a complete pushover.

As I write this, with him draped over my lap, he has just shouted himself awake and now needs reassurance cuddles. Cats!! :mad:

One of the kittens* stepped on the stove after I used it to make lunch. He seemed fine after a couple minutes, no visible blisters or anything, so no worries there. Hopefully he learns his lesson and stops jumping on the dang counter!

Oh man, they never learn. My big guy decided he would run across the front of the worktop whilst I was using the hob (I turned to reach something on the other counter - didn't even move my feet, just leant to one side). There was a squawk and a thump as he jumped off and ran in circles for a moment. Thank god for him having long thick fur, he was only singed on his side, not burnt. Damp towels were applied until it was evident it was just fur that took the brunt of the flame, but the smell of burned hair hung around for ages. Poor baby.

I never use the front burners any more! Glad your kitty was ok!

Hah, 16lbs at present! He's 2 years old now, so I think he's done growing. He's mostly Maine Coon, but not pedigree. Still heavy enough to knock the air out of me when he decides to use me as a trampoline at 3am.

It's not even the first time he's done that. He loves to bite my feet, and last year he had a spectacular chomp on me. When I'd detached him from my ankle, he had blood on his mouth and did that "I need to give this a real big sniff" Flehmen face. Was rather expecting him to ask for fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I am so grateful that Clarence, at 14 months old, hasn’t realised he can jump on to the counter. He absolutely could, but it so far hasn’t occurred to him. Possibly because Aunty Trundles at 14 years (and formerly very overweight, she’s lost 3kg since I adopted her at 11 years old is now a healthy 5.5kg) is way past that kind of jump. Long may he not realise he can do that.
He’s not a ginger boy, but he has a timeshare in the ginger cat brain cell, which is sometimes a curse and most times a very entertaining blessing.

E: goddamnit Clarence, don’t eat the hop vine
