Vase 0 Cat 1

[rhythmaning]

Last night my wife said to me "Now the cats are less destructive, we can get some of our ceramics out."

This morning - just now, indeed - to prove her wrong, our male cat was walking along the mantle piece and took exception to a rather lovely vase. Perhaps he was trying to liberate the roses.

So he knocked it to the floor. It landed on a small statuette of a nude that my wife made a long time ago. Where it smashed, sending chards of vase all over the place, and spilling a large amount of water. I have never had to remove bits of crockery from a there before, anyway!

Strangely, the vase has been used a lot without any problems. Not any more.

Cats and vases are natural enemies. Or so my cats tell me. Also, they seem to secretly believe that flowers are edible.

Actually, my wife thinks he might have been playing with the water in the vase, rather than the vase itself. He does sometimes like to splash about!

Flowers are edible. Well, some are. Besides, as far as I can tell, to a cat, everything's edible.

My party trick used to be eating carnations. But I had to be very, very drunk.

Well, yes. But I somehow doubt that roses are on the recommended diet list for felines. Mine tend to chew the flowers when irritated that I am tardy with petting or food.
