Kitty Memories

Friday. Best day of the week. Made even better by a rather humorous and unexpected memory this morning about little Roland and his shenanigans. Now when I say 'little Roland' I of course mean Big Roland. He's not so small anymore but the name has stuck.

I was standing in the shower, waiting for my conditioner to sink in and do its magical work. I like to follow the recommended 2-3 minutes of conditioner application for optimal results, as I enjoy silky shiny hair. Much like a shampoo commercial, yeah that's my hair. So as I'm waiting I hear this crash. I peek out the shower curtain and here is Roland, on my bathroom counter, inspecting the recently knocked over flower candle holder and Pantene frizz reducing, silk enhancing hair goop (as I said, shampoo commercial hair). And this reminds me....hey...I remember when....

It was a day not unlike today. I was in the shower with my boyfriend enjoying the water while he had to wait in the cold air for his turn. We heard a crinkle and the soft thud of kitty feet hitting the floor in the bathroom and running off down the hall. Now, as anyone who knows Roland will attest, he never does that unless he's up to trouble. Actually, now that I think about it, when is he ever NOT up to trouble? Anyway, I peek out the shower curtain, and what is he enjoying in the hall? Nothing but the most delicious tampon he's ever laid eyes on! A new tampon (in wrapper). A Tampax super tampon to be specific. This tampon seems to be the  most exciting object he'd played with in days. The look on his face was one of pure satisfaction knowing that he was able to sneak my tampon away right under my very nose. Needless to say, I removed the tampon from his possession. After all, I'm pretty sure I needed that tampon more than him.

I had forgotten all about this until this morning. But looking back, I remember just how hilarious this is. Roland running down the hall with a tampon in his mouth! How unexpectedly, delightfully funny.

Life's never boring when you have a Bengal.
