This One You Aren't Going To Believe, Elvira strikes again Options

[Ken Albin]

Yesterday I heard a rustling noise in the kitchen. With 9 cats here I knew it would be something interesting and as usual Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, was at work. I saw a large bag full of treat pouches sticking halfway out of a cabinet. Suddenly Elvira's head popped out of the cabinet holding the bag of treats. Her boyfriend Beau was waiting for her on the other side, sitting on an aquarium. Elvira passed the large bag of treats to Beau who took it and jumped down to the floor. Elvira jumped down after him and they flew out of the kitchen with Beau dragging the bag. I caught up with them just as Beau passed the bag back to Elvira and I managed to retrieve the bag before they got it open, though Elvira growled at me as I took it from them. I hid it in the stove temporarily until I could find a secure place to put the bag. A couple of minutes later Elvira was sitting in front of the stove studying the door. She pushed against it in several places but never got the stove open, though not from a lack of effort. I only wish I could have gotten a photo of this.

There's something wrong with this 'picture', though......considering all the brilliancy of their clever plan....how come you didn't just let them HAVE some of those treats???? You must have a real steely (vs. 'stealy', like theirs) resolve, Ken! But heavens, if they can't get a reward for showing such smarts and determination, well, what's it gonna TAKE?!

And let me ask you...so haven't you yet cleared all your own stuff outta that above-the-fridge cupboard, in order to give them a lovely, cozy and high-up space to hunker down in for a good snooze??? Sorta like this?
