Oh that sounds like a fun day!
I got home from graveyard shift, had Onion (rat) roaming merrily on counter while making toast. Eat toast. Put things away. Take rat back to cage. Realise i was putting tub of margerine in rat cage. Panic, bolt back into kitchen, tear open fridge full of apologies.
Onion had discovered the deli ham and clung to sides of fridge when I tried to remove her
You got me with rat on the counter. Nope Nope Nope Nope.
I was once at a friend's house when her cat was licking the butter. Friend said "naughty baby" and put the lid back on and put it back in the fridge. I never ate there again.
Cats love butter and marg
So do I but I don't wanna share.
Thatβs the idea. He didnβt want to share and licked it so it was his
Onion the Rat! Love it! At least you realised before you'd tucked yourself into bed for a nap. And she was having her best day because who wouldn't want to be trapped in a smorgasbord.
