Altagirl, aww that's so cute! I so want to add a dog to the mix, but it's going to have to be a big one otherwise my Dante will totally beat the poor thing up. He pounces on my mom's Chihuahua and "hunts" her (poor clueless thing has no idea either, she just wags her tail like all is cool!)
Mom of Redheads, haha I think Sparta is! Well I can't tell - there are tabbies who look a LOT like Bengals (including one adorable little guy who is at my animal rescue non-profit right now), but Sparta does look a lot like a Bengal, PLUS his mischievousness is on par for the Bengal breed.
My cats are totally insane. When I was gone for two weeks on spring break last year, I had a cat sitter come in once a day. Got an e-mail from her saying that the cats had gotten my freezer door open, dragged out half the contents, the coffee ice cream melted on my off-white carpet, and they had dragged the frozen chicken to the living room.
They've also torn apart a loaf of bread I had on the counter, gotten into my kitchen cabinets, played with the springy doorstopper on my bathroom door so much that it fell off, gotten stuck INSIDE the automatic litterbox (I switched to a regular one eventually), fallen into the toilet, wrestled on top of my built-in wine rack that is 6 inches wide and right below the ceiling, and gotten shut up in closets. And that's just the stuff I remember off the top of my head!
She's turned several magazines into confetti. Heh, and the only book she's ever touched, is.... Cesar Milan's dog training book. Which she didn't chew up, but she dragged it outside, down the stairs and hid it under a tree. Oh, the irony.
