Penny is now seven months old so I guess it is safe to say
she is going thru the terrible twos. I
told you a little about her in November right after I received her for my
birthday. Now it is time for an update.
Let me say, I think she is adorable and wouldn’t trade her
for anything. However, she is a
handful! The first thing I learned is
she cannot be trained with a spray water bottle. She thinks it is a game and tries to catch
and drink the water. She loves
water. She lays in the kitchen sink and
tries to drink from the faucet. When I
would let the water drip because of the freezing temperature outside she would
actually get in the sink and smack at the drops with her paw and try drinking
the water. She also likes the bathroom
sink and now likes to lay in the bathtub.
I keep the lid down on the toilet because she would probably try to get
in there.
She loves watching the birds and squirrels. She runs from window to window to watch them.
I have three windows and two doors along the front of my house, and she runs to
each one. And, I do mean run. She runs, leaps and jumps from one place to
another. This includes jumping from one piece of furniture to another. I have had to move a lot of my knick knacks
and decorations so they don’t get broken. She does not meow, and I think it is because
she doesn’t know how. I’m not sure she
ever heard another cat meow. However,
she does make this chirping sound like a bird.
She has learned how to jump on top of my filing cabinet, and
to the top of a large five shelf curio cabinet.
She walks across the railing between the two rooms. She has figured out how to get on top of the
refrigerator. The other day I heard this
strange noise and when I went to check it out, she had jumped on my washer and
then onto my pantry. The pantry is tall
and almost reached the ceiling. She just
fits. I have two decorative wall hanging
birdcages. In the November post I added
a couple of pictures of her climbing all over them. I finally took them down so she wouldn’t get
hurt if she fell off.
When we stayed at Brian’s we stayed in their basement which
is actually a game room. Well, she had a
ball in the game room. She found a
couple of ping pong balls which she learned that if she smacked them into the
wall they could come back to her and she could hit them again. She woke me up a few times in the middle of
the night playing ping pong. She also
liked the pool table. I had to cover the
table including the pockets because she would try to get inside them. That could have been very interesting. They also have a ski ball game and she
figured out if she jumped up on it at a certain point she could slide
down. Actually that was rather
funny.
One of her favorite places to sleep is in the bathroom. I have a three shelf storage rack over the
toilet and she likes to sleep on the bottom shelf. It’s a weird feeling going to the bathroom in
the middle of the night and finding her sleeping on that shelf.
Those are a few of my Penny and the Terrible Twos
stories. Hope you got a chuckle. Below are a few pictures of her.
