Usually when I catch Monkey Kitty doing something hilarious, he’s too shy to keep at it while I turn on the video camera on my phone and start recording.\u00a0 For example, we put a sheet with a bunch of little Tinkerbells on one of the couches to try to keep cat hair off of the couch itself, and Monkey Kitty loves<\/em> to pounce on the Tinkerbells – unless the camera is rolling, in which case he just looks at you inquiringly and meows softly.\u00a0 It’s almost like he’s saying, “Um, mom?\u00a0 This is kind of a personal thing I have to do, I’d rather there not be a record of it later.”<\/p>\n

But when there’s yarn involved?\u00a0 Apparently that’s more important than a little dignity.<\/p>\n

Today, we brought home a bag of yarn.\u00a0 I thought the Blanket Thief<\/a> had put it safely away in the office, while he thought that I had protected it.\u00a0 Ten minutes after we got home, Monkey Kitty started meowing by the entry table, and then I heard a soft “thump”.<\/p>\n

I went upstairs to find…well, it’s really just better if I show you.<\/p>\n
