Tuesday, Kitten Thunder let The Boy and I sleep until the alarm went off at 9 a.m. It was, after all, a holiday. But our regular schedule of early morning annoyance resumed yesterday.
And Obi’s new year resolution seems to be to be more involved.
This morning, Oliver was poking me in the nose in the first round of annoyance. It was so warm under the blankets and so cold in the room, though, so my attempt to distract the grey kitten with a snuggle worked like a charm. Cozy under the blankets, Oli was happy to doze off in my arms.
But no. Scoot scoot scoot went something on the toothbrush shelf. I’d moved everything off that was breakable, so I ignored it. Scoot scoot. And something fell to the floor.
“Obi.”
The brown kitten came over to the bed and jumped to the headboard. He used his brother’s head as a halfway point. Then he played with the strings on the miniblinds. I reached up and jabbed him in the ribs.
He ran off. Oliver ran off. The breakfast bell went off.
Good timing.

It is Thunder Thursday! My brother’s family has a new member. Meet Cousin Puck’s new brother, tentatively named Bo.
Kitten Thunder: Life lessons and cat tales 
Bo looks like he’s just Mr. Chill– kicked back and easy to get along with. What a cutie!
I keep cracking up at your references to the toothbrush shelf scooting move. My fluffy ball of gorgeousness likes to scoot things off of tables to get my attention too. Thankfully he doesn’t do it during sleep…
Obi has a thing about any flat surface and usually knocking stuff off has nothing to do with me. However, both cats have discovered that scooting my $45 toothbrush toward the edge gets my attention FAST.
Hiya Bo!
Happy New Year to all of you!
