I was getting ready to go to bed a bit earlier tonight..up early Saturday and Sunday. I was in the kitchen taking my evening meds, and getting some food for the cat for during the night. I had not seen him for a while. I heard a bit of noise, thinking it was from upstairs, or outside, I did not think anything of it…it was like a ‘rustling’ …
All of a sudden I felt like I had eyes watching me. I thought I caught something out of the corner of my eye.
Then I heard a soft meow….MY DEMON cat had climbed ONTOP of my kitchen cabinets!!!!!!!!! and was running the length of them meowing at me!!!!!!! These cabinets are really hight! My step stool will not even reach the top of them!!! And he is 11 years old~not even a kitten or a young cat with young muscles!!!!!!!!!
How in heaven’s name did that cat get up there and how was I going to get him down??!!!!
He was running back and forth on them, meowing and wanting ME to get him!!! Unbelievable!
I was yelling at him, telling him to get down, telling him he was a bad boy and pointing my finger downward….He was arguing with me!!!
Artie, acrobat cat, jumped onto the top of the refrigerator and then jumped right down from there to the floor….
He knew he did bad because his ears were back and down~~~~he ran right into the extra bedroom…..
He never did that before….11 yrs old and doing this…..shaking my head..the comparison in for an 11 year old cat in human years is 60 yrs old! and he jumped like that!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he keeps me up tonight, he is getting the boot and the broom!!!!
That next night, I was on the phone. I saw Artie go into the kitchen to eat, and he never came out. I was suspicious. I was still on the phone, and quietly walked into the kitchen. He was not eating...I looked up and there he is!
He is on top of the cabinets, the corner one, curled up~~all comfortable, looking at me if to say, "Yeah, want something??"
I was furious!!! I was afraid he was going to eat something bad up there, like paint chips, dust bunnies, whatever...
I just had to get the broom. I never used one before on him. He must have been trained with them, because he runs away when I take one out. I had a hard time shooing him down from there!
To stop this from re-occuring, I kept dishes in the dish drain, and some stuff on the refrigerator...
Did that stop him????? NO!!
This time he somehow managed to jump on to the top of my microwave!! That is a full size one and is sitting on a cart opposite the refrigerator!! How did he do that?????!!!!!!
My kitchen now looks like a war zone!
I am keeping pans in the dish drainer. I have all kinds of stuff on top of the refrigerator. I even put tin foil on top of the pans and the refrigerator. I put tin foil on top of my microwave!!
It has been one night now---I think I will try to get rid of some things...........
My acrobatic, demon Artie Cat!!!
