Madison

Our kitten Madison is now 7 months old and she is really testing our patience. She loves to get into everything, including the kitchen sink!

To my dismay she is now able to jump onto our kitchen counters and is drawn to the faucet. She does this in the bathrooms too. She is fascinated by water. When I'm washing my hands she's right in there sticking her nose in the water. She used to hate water and getting wet. This new love is not good considering one of our discipline methods is squirting her with some water when she does something bad.

Another fascination she has is lampshades. This seems to just be a night time thing though. It seems every morning, probably around 5, she is batting at the lampshades by our bed. This of course wakes us up and she trots over thinking it's play time. If we're lucky we get another hour and a half of sleep and then she's up begging for turkey.

Despite her annoying activities, nothing beats getting into bed and having my Maddy jump up and run over to cuddle and go to sleep.
