Allie: See anything yet, Maxie?
Maxwell: *sigh* No ... nothing.
Maxwell: Wait. Is that ...?
Nope. Not them.
They did say they were coming home from work on time today, didn't they?
Not that I'm borrowing trouble or anything ... but my tummy's growling.
Allie: Well, we could always open the cabinet and rip into the bonito flakes.
And blame it on Faraday when they come in.
Maxwell: That's, uh, kind of devious, Allie.
Allie: Yes, but completely in character for him, thus a workable ruse.
(Hmm. Who knew I'd actually pick up a few pointers from the Brat? Is that Hell I hear freezing over?)

don't you hate it when the parents run late??
ReplyDeleteHope they arrived soon after this!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I do like your devious, or as I like to call it, practical out of necessity of being hungry, attitude to problem solving!
ReplyDeletePurrs, ERin
MOL! Hmmm, you know, that could work!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful, no matter what they decide to do!
ReplyDeleteHumans...you CANNOT trust them to keep a timetable like kitties can!
ReplyDeleteMOL!!
ReplyDeleteDang, now I'm hungry too!
ReplyDeleteYou guys, even when your humans work at home, like ours, it doesn't mean dinner will arrive on time!
ReplyDeleteAllie is brilliantly devious ... and beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a good plan.
ReplyDeleteDevious but very clever, Allie!
ReplyDeleteHope your Pawrents got home before you had to employ those devious plans Allie :)
ReplyDeletei hope you guys get fed soon or i can't imagine what trouble you'll get up to!!
ReplyDeleteWe say go for it, Allie!
ReplyDeleteWe say give it 20 minutes more, Allie and Maxie. If Mom and Dad aren't home by then ... it's bonito time!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could put in place a system of fines for when they are late? To be paid in treats?
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
If my mom is late with dinner, cat bro Bert goes into the half bath and shreds the toilet paper to show his anger!
ReplyDeleteWe hope they arrived on time short after this ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan.
ReplyDeleteWaiting is always so hard. Hope you did not need to resort to that so called devious plan. We call it a survival technique!
ReplyDeleteAre you guys starving? I hate when my foods run out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all get fed without having to bust into the Bonito flakes.
ReplyDeleteMaxwell, your back looks very muscular! Have you been working out?
Maxwell you have pawesome Whiskers. We hope you didn't have to wait to long for supper.
ReplyDeletea girl has to do what a girl has to do
