I had an unintentional laugh at the boy's expense, this morning

[Siwsan]

To be honest, I can't believe this hasn't happened before.

I poured some coffee beans into the grinder. They thought I was pouring out more kibble and they came racing into the kitchen.

Then I hit the grinder button and the race to exit the kitchen was MUCH faster than the one to enter. It kind of looked like a cartoon where they elevated, their feet were scrambling, but it took a second or two before their feet actually made contact with the floor!

In my defense, there's nothing quite like coffee made from freshly ground beans.

1. What a good description!

I immediately flashed a picture of 3 cat runners fleeing Wiley Grinder in a red Desert. Tell the Coffee Grinder to be careful cats can be devious.

3. Accurate image

However, I have never heard any of my cats say "Meep! Meep!"

2. Poooooor, traumatized babies!! You MUST give extra treats, scritches, and

pets!

And, absolutely agree on freshly-ground beans.

4. I can't help thinking that that's hilarious, even

while pitying them for the fright it gave them. They will recover.

In a situation like that, Ember would later sneak up on the coffee grinder when it was not operating and give it a hard swat. It's what she did to the vacuum cleaner.

5. I'm getting the guest room and main bathroom ready for company

So I'm shifting things, dusting, vacuuming and using the steam cleaner. The boys are both fascinated and frightened. Of course, when I put fresh sheets on the bed, the door will be closed. It's difficult enough with one sheet chasing feline. Three would make it an impossible task.

6. LOL. Cats do love bedmaking and sheets.

I pulled the fitted sheet over Ember once, thinking it would make her move. She loved it and curled up underneath it until I pulled her out.
