Forbidden Territory

 Kitties!


Maui here.

I decided to get up on the pot shelf in the kitchen, the one place in the house where we are Not Allowed. 


Mommy saw me do it, and instead of reasonably asking me to reconsider my decision to ascend (and prevent me from Getting Into Trouble) she ran for the camera and screeched for Daddy...

...who flung the Washrag of Discipline at me.

I was not impressed, and moved to a new spot...

...where I was once again accosted by Daddy and his filthy fabric flagellator!

Enough of this nonsense.

I'll get back up here when they're not looking. 

I shot Daddy a Dirty Look, so he knew I was only getting down because I wanted to.

Meanwhile, Mommy continued to document the entire sordid affair.
Traitorous wench.

Somebody's gonna get a surprise in their shoe!
Maybe two somebodies.


Happy Thursday!

  1. That pot shelf is soooo tempting though - I think a row of you up there would look great.

    And why is it humans think we'll move if they throw clothes at us ? It just gives us something to play with.

  2. Um, if they don't want you up there, what's with the convenient stairway?

  3. You should has sat really, really still and they might not have noticed you up there - you could have blended in!

  4. This is funny. If our gang had a convenient route to the top of the cupboards they`d all be up there. Well, at least the young`uns would.

  9. A washrag? BWAHAHAHA! Did you wipe your bum with it and throw it back?

  10. MOL! You sure knew how to position yourself up there, Maui. Oh, and how we laughed at your Daddy's filthy fabric flagellator!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Wait a minute wait a minute wait a doggone minute! Are you saying that there is a place in that house where you are NOT allowed?? Haven't you realized that you seriously outnumber the humans? YOU should be making the rules and tossing things at them for not obeying! Right? Right!

  12. Wow you got all the way up there, well done! I would leave a little gift in both shoes if I were you. Purrs Skipper

  13. Maui don't tell Mommy but you looked so cute up there on the forbidden shelf!!

  14. Zowies, Maui! You are one mischievous kitty!

    I must say, I LOVE how you embrace color! I do not have that gene apparently. I try, I truly do, but I never quite succeed.

  15. Maui, you looked so nice up there. Why did they make you get down? When we had kitchen cabinets that didn't reach the ceiling, it was one of our favorite places to hang out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. At least you only got a dish rag waved at you -- our human would have gone for the spray water bottle.

    Our human once saw Derry get up on top of the cupboards, but there's nothing interesting up there, unfortunately.

  23. I love the dishrag of discipline :-) At our house we use the "spritz bottle to the haunch" as a deterrent which I had to use the other day when Casper was at the brand new Zeppelin adding some much needed (in his opinion) claw marks to our new wireless music system.....UGH!

    ReplyDelete
  24. If you weren't supposed to get up there, why'd they paint it a bright color like all the shelves and nooks in the catio? Humans are so hard to understand sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. we don't see the issue here - you look very nice with the pottery, you were obviously being careful since nothing broke, and for pete's sake they left that mail box there for you to use as a step. What were they expecting??? MOL

  28. Oh no! Not the wash rag of discipline! I bet you were shaking in your furry boots.

  29. Maui, our Thelma would have loved you. When she was with us and our cabinets did not go to the ceiling, as they do now, she loved to get up on the tops and knock things off. But she wasn't the only one. MacKenzie broke something very expensive once, and that is when everything had to come down. Hope you leave your mommy's things alone. They are very beautiful!

  30. Nice try Maui, you almost were not noticed. I thought that cats were allowed everywhere. What kind of silly rules do you have in that house. Take care.

    ReplyDelete
  31. That perch is way too irresistible and easy to access. Odin would use it to snoopervise cooking.

  32. Since when were the humans the boss of where you could go in YOUR home.
    Silly things.
    Way to show them, Maui.

  33. We would not be impressed with the Washrag of Discipline either. Sheesh.

    ReplyDelete
  34. How brave you were Maui to get up there to survey the terriroty at the risk of grave harm (yeah, that's it) from the flagellating washcloth. That Daddy's a tough man. We wouldn't dare cross him.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't even know how they saw your petite self up there, Maui!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I didn't see a kitty up there. What was all the fuss???

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. We thoughts you looked furry pretty up there Maui with the pottery around you. Daddy better be careful with the dishrag of discipline...he mights knock over something, MOL.

    Sigh...and Mom says, OMC your mom has the stove she wants with the double oven. Can you ask your mom if she likes it?

    Silly bean!

  38. With just one paw, you could make such a lovely SMASH! Hmmm, we'd go up there too...

    ReplyDelete
  39. The proximity of the refrigerator is practically an engraved invitation to go up there. Plus, that looks like a perfect spot from which to look down upon your minions. We love the look on your face as you descended...only because you wanted to.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Maui, good job. If you can get up there, then it is NOT off limits. We kitties like to be above our minions.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Maui, why are they making such a fuss about you being up there? There are beautiful pots up there but none is as beautiful as you are so they should be honored that you visiting the pots...

  42. Actually Maui I thought you looked like a sculpture up there. Perfectly fitting.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh! How Brave you are, Mr. Maui, facing down that Dishrag. You showed that Piece of Cloth who's boss. And I, for one, LUBS Forbidden Places. It's like some magnetic pull, isn't it, an Unseen Paw, guiding us to climb higher, higher! up to the top where only the most rare, the most valuable, the most breakable resides. It's a calling, really. Since they can never truly understand, I try not to hates the Humans, but it really is tiresome. Good luck.

  44. Oh my stars! That made me nervous! But the 'washrag of discipline' made me laugh! LOL!
