Our cunning plan begins tomorrow, when we put a cat litter tray in the bathroom and fade out the one in the kitchen. (Never could understand why people wanted a cat toilet in the food storing and preparation area) Couldn't do it until now as the kittens were too small and couldn't climb the stairs. They're much more confident on their feet and much harder to get close to because their turn of speed had increased. One of the black fur coats doesn't run to a hidey-hole when I turn up but still won't receive the snuggle. ;O) Misty the noisy cat is taking a bit easier now and getting some good sleeps on the ottoman in the spare bedroom. Mind you, she gave me the slip when I brought the waste paper bin in earlier.
