Audrey was a first class flip flop thief. Emma would put hers on the fireplace hearth, behind the couch, and she would stretch to get one, then trot off gleefully with her prize. I spent a lot of time prying things out of her mouth, especially cat toys, which she would snag as we went through the house to go outside.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-15547546881821895352014-08-31T15:28:07.457-05:002014-08-31T15:28:07.457-05:00Thanks, Val!

In rain or snow or sleet or hail? So not my idea of fun. Cats do their biz in a box.

We are forever grateful to our Rotten Boys' kitty foster mom for loving them so well until we found them because their alternative was starving in an alley.

Argh. <br />But yeah, they do kinda smell warm and furry and they make great foot warmers and they are so unbelievably and annoyingly irresistible.
