I did move the strap out of the way so she doesn’t get caught on it.

Our kitchen is of a very generous size, but horrid design.  It’s basically a wide galley, but all the working parts are on one side.  (Seriously, the kitchen at the house we rent at the beach is better designed, and if has less than half the square footage.)  There is a counter on the non-working side, and while the kits aren’t technically allowed on *any* kitchen counter, they seem to know it’s slightly less bad to jump up on the “non-working” side – which also has the dog food & various animal treats on it.

I swear, for the past four days, every time I walk into the kitchen, Lily is on the counter on the non-working side.  It goes something like this:

“LILY!  Get down!”
“MIAU!”
“Seriously, GET DOWN”
“MIAU!”
*pick up cat, unceremoniously dump on floor*
“MIAU, MIAU, MIAU!!”
“How tall are you today?”
*stands on back feet, gets many head rubs and compliments on height*
“MIAU, MIAU, MIAU!!”

Seriously, I’d swear she was part Siamese for how mouthy she is.

If it’s not me walking in on her in the kitchen, it’s something like this:

*Cindy watches TV or reads a book*
*CRASH*
“DAMMIT, LILY GET DOWN!!!!!”
“MIAU!”
*Repeat multiple times over the course of the day*

Seriously, she gets tons of food, water, treats and attention.  She’s hardly neglected.  And yet, if you asked her, NO ONE LOVES HER!
