Morgan gets blamed for most things.
There is a reason for that. She does most of the naughty things that happen here.
Broken vases, that’s Morgan.
Rearranged centerpieces, that’s Morgan.
Noseprints on the kitchen window, Morgan again.
Spilled glasses, that’s the beloved husband! (Cleary Morgan doesn’t do everything.)
Just like with people, sometimes we blame the wrong pet.
I owe Morgan an apology.
My cats don’t eat plants except for cat grass or so I thought. Last week I noticed that the palm tree I am wintering over has some chewed fronds. It’s right in back of the chair that Morgan sleeps on. It doesn’t take a detective to figure this out…or does it.
Here is a photo I snapped of the “perpetrator.” Looks a lot like sweet innocent Mollie.
Mollie chewing on palm fronds: “They’ll think Morgan did this and she’ll be in trouble!”
She skedaddled as soon as she saw me, snickering all the way.
Mollie: “Gotta get outta here before I’m busted!”

I’m with Mollie…. do the deed and put the blame on poor old Morgan. 🙂

Morgan is neither poor nor old. Most of the time she deserves it but every once in a while even the naughty one isn’t responsible.

Didn’t she know camera surveillance is everywhere these days? And I hear cat owners are becoming notorious for candid photos. Mollie belonging to a cat owner really should have exercised more caution. Not that I’m advocating that she enter into a life a of crime, you understand.

I hope you were able to explain to Morgan how a negative reputation develops over time and then we occasionally get blamed for something we didn’t do–just because of that reputation! This is a good object lesson for Morgan to learn! 🙂 You really have to keep an eye on your mischievous menagerie!

Yes. Unfortunately in this cat household there is no consequence for doing some bad. Well maybe there is if you count “bad kitty, bad kitty” said in a soothing voice.

Clearly Mollie didn’t get the memo about your new camera. I love that you captured the crime.

I don’t have plants in the house. But Lily rips apart paper. So I often find piles of confetti where the pile of bills was.
My fault really. Its not like I couldn’t have put them in a drawer. She is just trying to teach me to be neater.
Anyway, I’m sure that’s how she rationalizes it.

I don’t usually have trouble unless it looks like grass. In cat minds palm fronds look like grass. Mollie does like to have a chew on fake flowers. I used to have beautiful silk arrangements on the dining room table. Not anymore. Now I have ceramic chickens with get moved around.

Annie is young so she likes to play, and doesn’t always care if the older cats aren’t interested. She is also a bit of a bully with one of our cats who acts scared all the time, and so gets bullied easily. Always interesting watching cat hierarchies.

Morgan occasionally bullies Mollie because Mollie will run. Hazel just sits and looks at her so that’s no fun. With Annie’s sad start in life, it’s good to see her rebound so well.
