Cat Update

Does this picture make sense to you?




























Crazy cats and people on Nyquil do not mix. Stephen had the flu last week and stepped into the kitchen to take a dose of Nyquil. Little spotted a small bug flying around the flourescent lights in the kitchen and locked on target. Of course to him, humans standing around are no longer humans, but giant ladders to this bug. Stephen opened the bottle of Nyquil and poured a capful -- while he was standing with the open bottle in one hand and and full cap in the other, Little decided to leap onto Stephen, causing a cat-astrophe. Seconds later, Little was still clinging to Stephen with his claws, and Stephen, the kitchen floor and a formerly white cat were all covered with cherry Nyquil. It was a pitiful sight to say the least.



The cat had a bath, and Stephen had some antiseptic applied to his clawed chest along with a fresh capful of Nyquil. The kitchen floor is still sticky after 2 moppings, but other than that, all is well.



But isn't he cute when he's asleep.
