A few days ago this little black cat started showing up around dad's looking for someplace warm and mybe some food. Not willing to let the poor thing starve dad started feeding her...(mistake #1) then we got snow...and dad didn't want her to freeze so he let her in to eat food before he put her back out...
(This is still a pottery blog...I'm getting there)
So now, having been invited in, this little monster knows how the "other half" lives. Not willing to be cast out into the cold she finds a broken window pane and chews her way through the "temporary" replacement pane and finds her way back into the house after 2am...not once, not twice, but 3 times between 2am and 4am. (I might mention here that upon each successful breach the barricade to keep her out became increasingly Macgyver-ed) In a house already full with 2 dogs and another cat, there were loud objections to this "cat burglar" waking the entire house each time and earning her "Houdini" name...
Ok, you have been patient and we are getting to the pottery part...I finally had some time to come visit dad and start turning a few things today. When it became evident that turning pots from frozen and thawed clay was not going to work in my favor, I switched to hand building.
This...is where "Hairy" Houdini comes in. Sweet as can be, but the most mischievous cat I have seen in a long time Houdini decided she should help me...by walking all over the drying racks!
So this October, if your platters and trays have "paws" on them, now you know why!
And everything Heather says is true about "Hairy" except for a few expletitives @ 2am she left out. Looks like the Hilton Hompelace family has grown by one, paw prints not withstanding, BR
