The Atticus Diaries

oh boy, oh boy, a giant paper roll, I must be in the land of giant tp!!!! thinking mom was quite pleased with this Savannah antic.

I would have been more pleased had he shredded the paper towels in the laundry room yesterday which would have at least helped to soak up all the water that was on the floor.

WW, there are apparently 2 scales. One is for the normal Savannah misbehavior and then there is the Bratticus scale. The Bratticus scale is apparently an exponential function of the normal SV one.

It's kinda funny that I was prepared for the Bratticus scale when I got my first SV, Juba, a HP F2. Juba was a mischievous baby who single-handedly destroyed most of the house. Atticus is nowhere near as difficult as Juba was. Atticus does however, fit the descriptions of F1 behavior to a T. He does things I expected Juba to do that Juba never did such as chewing electrical cords and rubber hoses but he has not reduced the furniture to mere pieces of fuzz as Juba did. So I think that he probably doesn't deserve his own misbehavior scale and fits comfortably into the already established F1 scale.

Anything naughty he does is more than balanced out by his sweet sweet personality and the love that he gives. He is fierce with his love and for that, I can forgive anything.

Maybe the scale is related more to imagination than pure brat. I cannot say that I have heard of another cat playing fetch with empty gallon milk jugs, margarita mix bottles or hammers!

I know right? He makes it look as though he is toy deprived and has to find his amusements in the trash and the tool drawer. Makes me look like a bad mom.

 

[Rafiki]

Yes, the poor toy deprived child must even resort to using potatoes and brussel sprouts as balls.

 

[SV Dad]

Rafiki is making some solid points here..........

Four days....that's how long it took for someone to forget to lock the new doorknob on the pantry. This morning I woke up to a wrecked pantry again. This time all but Maliik were frolicking in the wreckage. Just goes to show, yet again, that these cats are uber smart and they never let up. Someone is testing that knob regularly and as soon as a human ape slips up, the cat will take advantage of the opportunity.

My heart goes out to you Witchy. It is so hard to be a Savannah servant. Our work is never done.
