Quirks

My cat likes sweet tea. Actually, they both do. MRI likes to drink tea from a full glass. Scanner likes to drink his from an empty glass.

(But wait, sir... it's empty. How can he drink from an empty glass?)

Good question. He uses his paws.

(Surely you don't mean he lifts the glass and drinks from it???)

No, silly. Besides, it's an empty glass and that wouldn't work. What Scanner does is this: He comes over to the glass, sniffs, realizes that it's sweet tea. Oh goody! He then curls his paw, and dips it into the glass to soak the fur with the tea at the bottom of the glass. He then licks his paw dry. Repeat.


Meanwhile, since E went into the hospital, I haven't had to feed the kids dinner YET! I must be a great Dad! K keeps finding ways to weasel food from our neighbors (long story), while Thomas and Riss have consistently fallen asleep each night before I get a chance to feed them. Today, Riss fell asleep mid-play. It should be noted that Thomas did eat dinner tonight, and then promptly fell asleep.

Quirks, quirks...
