Disturbing Trends

Maxwell:  Wait. Now the blinds in the family room are closed?



I...I...I think I'm perturbed.
Does this mean more math?

Wait. There's MATH?

Faraday: Okay, I've had it wif these shades, Maxie.
It's been, like, elebenty weeks now.


Faraday: Do you has any idea how long that is in cat years?!
Maxwell: Well, to be precise, the aging scale of a cat is not linear. It's more of a—


 Faraday: Seriouslies, Maxie? At a time like this, you wanna do maths an' stuffs?



Faraday: Here's a math problem for you, Maxie. How many minutes do you think it'd take me to shred —


Maxwell: All right, all right. Move back, let me just take a few measurements here. Let's see now, the shade begins at precisely 7.5 centimeters from the floor ....
Faraday: *sigh-h-h*



Maxwell: And I see the sun is at an azimuth of 140 degrees east of north....
Faraday: *heavy sigh* Just wake me when you need something shredded, 'k Maxie?



Maxwell: *mutter*mutter* That's two hundred thirteen centimeters, give or take.
And I can reach about ... uh ... ninety. 



Maxwell: So if Faraday can reach eighty-five, and Allie can reach ninety-six, that's uh ....



Maxwell: Uh, dood, how badly do you want your sunpuddles?




Think you can talk Allie into letting you stand on her shoulders?


Faraday: We're so screwed.
Maxwell: Yup.

Patience: Lost.

Faraday: *sigh*


Faraday: *sigh-h-h-h-h*

(leans in to ....)
Maxwell: *cough* AHEM.


Faraday:  (ears back)
Look, Maxie.
If you're not going to be part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.


Faraday: I don't see you lifting a paw to help resolve this situation.
You think you can do any better? Then prove it.


Maxwell: uhhhhhh ....


Faraday: I rest my case.

Busted.



Faraday: This is really starting to bug me, Maxie. There are sunpuddles and we need to be sleeping  in them. NOWS. 


Faraday: Maybe if I tried it from this side ....
Maxwell: Uh dood ... you know Momma told you not to mess with the shades after last Friday.
Faraday: Yeah, yeah, yada, yada. I wouldn't have to if she'd remember to raise them an' stuffs.


Maxwell: Dood, I really wouldn't if I were you ...

The Mom: FARADAY! GET AWAY FROM THOSE SHADES!


Faraday:  ...and you didn't think to warn me that she was standing right there, Maxie? Seriouslies?
Maxwell: Dood. You didn't ask.



Faraday:   *heavy sigh*

Sunpuddle Woes



Faraday: Hey Maxie, according to the sun on my paw, we're missing some serious sunpuddles ...
(cue outraged tone)
... because somemommy forgotted to lift the shades before she left for work! 


*nip*  
Faraday:  BAD shade. BAD. Go 'way, shade, we don't want you here!


Maxwell: Biting the shades won't make them rise, you know. Everykitty knows that.


*cue heavy sigh* 

Faraday: Seriouslies, Maxie. If you're not going to be part of the solution ....



Will Faraday ever get his sunpuddles back? 
Will Maxie stop doling out advice and get up off his lounger and assist?
These questions and more ... next time, on A Tonk's Tail!

Monday Woes

... from the "I snuck outside again and am taunting my sister" files:




Why yes, that's Allie perched in the kitchen window behind the sink.
Faraday's on top of the generator. Ushered back inside in 5...4...

(Allie getting in a few licks on a certain Tonkinese in 3...2...  ;-)

Monday (not) Smiles



Awwww, what a sweet, adorable smile on a Monday morning ....

Faraday : The Great White Housepanther isn't adorable, Mommy. He's fierce.

You're absolutely right, my bad
How could I possibly have mistaken that fierce scowl for a smile?
 

Faraday: That was totes sarcasm, Mommy.

And on a Monday, too?
Seriouslies?

Max v. Ball, Episode 3



Maxwell: Ah-HAH. Gotcha now, Mister Ball.
Taupe Ball: Oh no, that was my brother, the White Ball.

Pardon the pun, but this is a whole new ball game.


Maxwell: Is that a challenge?


Taupe Ball: Well, from what I hear, we balls are certainly a challenge to you.


Maxwell: Do you expect me to take that sitting down? Why you, I oughtta ....


Maxwell:  ooops.
Faraday: Seriouslies, Maxie?


Maxwell: Well, don't just sit there, boy. Play with it.


Faraday: *tap*sniff*
It says it doesn't want to right now.


Maxwell: *scoffing noise* And you're just going to let that ride?
Faraday: Yup, I was napping anyways, Maxie.


Maxwell: Boy, you need a mancat to show you how it's done. Here, watch this:


Maxwell: *COWABUNGA!*


Faraday: Uh, Maxie. That was the white ball. The taupe one's still over here ....

That's okay dood. We're still giving this one to you.

Current tally:
Ball = 2, Maxwell = 1
