A Day of Ornery

Oh my boy kitty - I do adore your ornery little self.  I took the opportunity to jot down the ornery-ness that occurs over the course of the day:

6:25 am - Meow (border on howling) loudly to inform humans the time to awaken is upon us....
6:35 am - Pick up the ferret by the scruff of the neck and drag him through the master bedroom - get hollered at for this
6:48 am - Chase Agatha from master bedroom to some location downstairs - make her screech loudly - get hollered at for this
8:12 am - Try to steal a taste of Clooney's Ferretone - get hollered at for this
8:37 am - Attempt to escape when Emma goes outside to go potty
9:17 am - Visit mom in the bonus room and stand on her lap even though she is trying to type
9:20 am - Bite Phoebe on the ear while she is sleeping
10:17 am - Get on bar in bonus room and get into whatever is up there - making noise and knocking stuff down - get hollered at for this
11:15 am - Attempt to escape when mom goes to check the mail
11:27 am - Whine - for general dramatics
11:33 am - Get under foot while mom carries load of laundry to the washer
Thankfully from about 11:45 to about 3:30 it was nap time
3:47 pm - Steal covers off hedgehog
3:55 pm - Stand on mom's lap when she is trying to type
4:07 pm - Investigate bonus room trash - get hollered at for this
4:15 pm - Chase Agatha out of the bonus room to some location downstairs - make her screech - get hollered at for this
5:22 pm - Attempt to escape when mom takes Emma outside
6:15 pm - Beg for food while mom is cooking
7:45 pm - Try to get attention from mom or dad
8:13 pm - Knock things over in an exuberant game of 3 way tag with Phoebe and Clooney
9:20 pm - Pester humans as they get ready for bed
9:25 pm - Humans aren't paying enough attention - get on headboard and cause trouble - get hollered at for this

Whew - I am tired just typing this - how does he have enough energy for all this naughtiness?  The reality of it is - we wouldn't change a thing - he keeps us on our toes but we love his ornery ways......
