my now daily breakfast routine...I didn't really want toast anyway....


Get the kettle, lift the cat out the sink, turn the tap on, lift the cat out the sink, fill the kettle, turn tap off and lift cat out of sink, dry cat.

Open the curboard, reach for cup, lift the cat out the cuboard, get cup, lift cat out cuboard again and close door.

Open other cuboard, reach for coffee, lift cat out the cuboard, reach for coffee again, put coffee on worktop, lift cat out cuboard again and reach for sugar

Put sugar and coffee in cup, clean up worktop cause cat put her paws in sugar dish, put cat on floor, put lid back on sugar, chase cat for lid off coffee jar, reach for cuboard to put coffee and sugar away, lift cat out cuboard, put stuff away, lift cat out again and close door

While kettle is boiling put some toast in toaster, chase cat and get back the slice of bread she stole, ugh butter is in the fridge, open fridge!! remove cat, reach for butter, remove cat again and close door.

Attempt to butter toast while cat sticks nose in butter tub, reach for fridge, put butter away, remove cat from fridge and close door. Turn back to toast to find cat licking butter from toast!!

Pour hot water in coffee cup, give cat toast and collapse knackered on couch.

lol I wish I could but my kitchen door is made up of lots of little glass panels and when my son accidently put his foot thro one of the bottom ones in the middle I had this clever idea of not replacing it as it made a handy little door for the cats to get in and out of the kitchen to their food and water without the dogs able to get through to steal it. So there is no way of keeping the kitten out when I am cooking atm.

It's so cute tho she is so used to using it that even when the door is open she thinks she has to go through the hole still to get into the kitchen and it's hilarious when the door is right open again the wall, she bangs her head on the wall trying so hard to come in lol. The other cats just sit there and look at her like she's lost the plot.

Great minds think alike (or is it fools never differ?!) - my doors are also glass panelled and I have the middle one on the bottom missing so that the cats can get through! It was a good idea when I had my previous moggies but I now realise it has the effect of making the house totally open plan to Bengals.

The description of getting breakfast is oh so familiar to me

So true to life!! Well put.
What is it with cats and butter...?
I can't leave the stuff unattended, ever.

i'm so glad i can close my kitchen door
