Thread: Things I've noticed about my MC kitten...

He did this on the computer keyboard yesterday and I lost what I was doing! He wasn't bothered, just laid there waiting for his belly to be tickled.

Yes he is clumsy. Just this morning I'd left the toilet seat up in the bathroom as I was sealing a drip on the boiler and throwing the tissue down the loo after wiping the pipe to find the leaking joint. I left the room for one minute and came back to water all over the floor. WTF? I thought, then found a very soggy Sully in the front bedroom. He'd fallen in the loo. Could have been much, much worse.
He's fallen off the coffee table and kitchen counters, he's been cleaning himself and rolled backwards off chairs. He does tend to flop over instead of lie down gracefully like a normal cat. I wouldn't swap him for the world. I've never seen a more playful kitten - he can't walk past a toy and not have five minutes fighting with it. He loves to be picked up and cuddled, he likes having his belly rubbed and his purr has a funny little up-note at the end. He's started to chirrup to himself when noodling around investigating stuff, and he has to be involved in whatever I'm doing, as if he's trying to learn how to clean his water fountain etc. Fantastic little animal.
