Nikita's Busy Day

Yesterday Nikita started her own Twitter account:

Nikita The Cat

@NikitaTheCat1

Cat extraordinaire, Cat Council President, Furniture Destroyer, Avid reader, Curiosity hasn't killed me, I am adorable - everyone says so.

In less than 24 hours she had more followers than I have managed to attract in over 4 years!   I am amazed by how many cats out there have twitter accounts!  

She's also been on my Facebook page again:

Hi Everyone, Nikita here. Taking some time away from tweeting...Question for all: Should I set up a way funny prank to play on Mama and spring it on her when she gets home OR should I act as if I have one in mind and just keep her on pins and needles all night?

And, as usual, she has gotten some advice.  Lucky for me, I got home sooner than she had imagined. 

Responses:

Chuck:  Create as much havoc as you possibly can within the first 15 minutes after she gets home, then ignore her until it's time for dinner

 

Nikita:  ooohhhhh, Good idea! Fun for me, frustration for her! The Daily Double!

 

Mark:  Poop in a shoe.

 

Ruth:  A well planned and executed act causes the most anxiety.

 

Nikita:     I know what I'll do!! I'll act like her coming home is the single best thing that's ever happened to me. Then, I'll walk around yowling and acting so very sad. Then I'll jump on the coffee table. Ooops! Cat Council just summoned me. I'll be back.

 

Ruth:  Hmm....Ollie was extra lovey when I got home. He often comes over for a quick snuggle, but this was extreme. Then when I went upstairs Murry was equally lovey. Nikita definitely has something big in the works......

 

Me:  Yes, I agree. I see she's been busy online today. Franklin Roosevelt got it wrong Fear itself is NOT the only thing we have to fear!

 

Ruth:  Hmmm....and now both of my guys seem to be missing.....

 

Me:  And so is Nikita. This can't be good.

 

Ruth:  OK, I found Murry sleeping upstairs on the bed. Ollie however is nowhere to be found. Not in any of his "usual" sleeping spots. Murry is a total chicken, Ollie is the planner. But Murry is a team player, so whatever Nikita and Ollie plan, he will follow.    

 

In addition to tweeting and facebooking, Nikita has managed to do the following (and these are only the things I can prove):

1.  Open the pantry door and ransack inside.

 

2.  Open more drawers in the apothecary chest.

 

3.  take more of the finish off the apothecary chest

 

4.  knock a stack of student papers to the ground

 

5.  hide the remote control under the futon

 

6.  Knock the kitchen trash over.

 

 

 

A little while ago she spotted another Giant Monster Bug on the wall in the living room.  I, of course, could not see it, but she was immediately on the job.  Ooooohhhhh, this is just enthralling.  I will stare at that spot high up on the wall until that Giant Monster Bug moves.  What do you mean you don't see anything, Mama?  It's right up there!!  Are you nuts?!?!  Good thing one of us recognizes danger!  Ahhhhh,  much butt wiggling.  Shall she try to make a giant leap up there?  Well, maybe not.  It is awfully high.  Perhaps jump to the lamp and bounce up from there?  Mama, how did you know I was thinking that?  OKAY, fine, I won't jump up there.  Geez, she is such a wet blanket.  I'll stare up there a while longer....

 

 

Oh, well, now she's bored.  Meowing and crying sounds in the hallway.  POOF -- she's gone!
