"WHORRRLNT! SCRAAANNNT! ZORP ZORP! RRRRL!"

We love Margot to pieces and we are so glad she came to live with us! Even Picci, with a ball of fur where her brain stem should be, has warmed to this fine kid.

BUT (and is there not always one [?]?) she does have one particular crazy habit...for some unknown reason, she just LOVES to push the plastic water dish/basin-doodad around the floor of the catfeteria (see what I did there). So, at, say, two a.m., one can be jostled awake by the random woody scrapings of plastic on million-year old oak floorboards (see post title for further elucidation). Oh, there's no reason for it. Our friend Betsy puts forth the notion that M likes to see the water slosh around, or the colliding circles of displaced water puddling to and fro.

Whatever! I'm just sure I am being made to pay for wrongs in some past lifetime, and am bound to hear these nocturnal skronkings for the next million years! And I will be glad of it!

The culprit, in her domain:

Pye did that. Then I went to PetCo and got a PetCo brand non-sliding cat bowl for $3. Apparently, it's a THING.

And isn't Ms Wacket a tortie-looking thing like Margot? Maybe it's the breeding.

Is Margot black& white? Pye looks mostly like Griz, but with way less white. And Margot looks like what they call a "cow-spot" tuxedo cat. I kid you not. There's even a chart with what looks to be cat-skin rugs, with marking patterns of b/w, i.e. tuxedo, cats and what the various patterns are called.

Also, why are you not on the Facebook, again? Cuz there's a lot of crazy cat lady sh*t on that there doohicky!
