Few sounds are more alarming, when you have cats, than hearing the 'clink' of glass

[Siwsan]

That sound makes me jump, immediately!

Madoc was exploring at the bar cart. Fortunately he simply bumped up against a couple of bottles on the bottom shelf, and WASN'T kitty creeping amongst the glassware on top of the cart.

[niyad]

1. whewww!

[MLAA]

2. Tell dear Maddox it's too early for anyone including kitties to be drinking!

[Siwsan]

3. Maybe he wants to celebrate my car finally being ready. On second thought, maybe not.

That means I'll be able to take him to the vet for his yearly check up and boosters.

4. Glassware on TOP of the cart.

With 4 cats in the house, and one of them is Madoc?

Oh my.

[Siwsan]

5. Surprisingly, they've stayed off of the top of the cart

And, of course, the good glass ware is closed up in the hutch and curio cabinet.

Madoc seems to refrain from knocking things off flat surfaces until I'm present to witness his mischief.

9. Well, of course he wants you to witness it.

How else can he show that he owns you?

Ember, on the other hand, enjoys knowing that the sound of things crashing (and maybe breaking) will bring me running in a hurry. That's the point for her, to get my full attention. Then, when she has it, she gives me the I-own-you stare, followed by the "So what are you going to do about it" look of defiance.

10. Madoc's facial expression is more like 'What? I didn't do it. Arthur did.'

And, of course, Arthur is nowhere to be seen.

[wnylib]

11. Ah, well, Ember is an only cat.

No one else to blame it on.

6. was the clink of glass preceeded by the sound of a cocktail shaker?

if so, your cat has a very rare talent.

[Siwsan]

7. I should find something infused with catnip

They'd LOVE that.

8. Good question!

😂🤔😇😼

I just found that "sly cat" emoji - I may have to use it again!

12. One of our cats knocked a Pyrex glass baking...

...dish, 9x13 size, off the kitchen counter onto the tile floor.

It sounded like a bomb went off, and there was glass everywhere!
