(Disclaimer: I do love Muggles a lot. I have been his slave since he was pint-sized. I have no reason to really be mad at him at all, because he is an innocent animal and just being a cat. But I also love Kid, and her play yelps can be quite pathetically sad - I think on purpose to get extra scritches by easily duped me. But Muggles was naughty last night *twice* so I will just say I was mad - I am a pathetic "mad" because it usually only involves me talking in a non-mad voice saying "Muggles you are naughty" and not even one raised voice. I am sad. But this is just so you know and not think I would actually get *mad* at muggles for just being a cat.)

Last night was an odd one. Before getting ready for bed, the cats were playing - because they always jump up out of a deep evening sleep just as we say "it's time for bed." I am sure this is prevalent in the cat kingdom, passed on from that spaceship filled with cat transmitters, and our two are also doing their job. But this time the play was particularly rough, and Kid let out the oddest, human-est, saddest sound ever. "Muggles!" I grabbed Kid away (I think it is more than obvious that lil cat has me wrapped tightly around her paw), and stopped the play fight. "Muggles, play nice - you're being a mean cat." That was the end of that fight. On to the next chase/tackle/scrap-fight.

So we went to bed, went to sleep. About 4:00AM I was awaken by odd odd meowing. It was Muggles, but it definitely was different than anything I had heard before. It wasn't the chase-me meow. It wasn't the "Where is everybody?" meow. Of course, not the food meow. So what is it?

I walk sleepily down the dark hall, and see a dark form of Muggles, still meowing strangely. He is hunched down in a weird position... I know that position. I have seen in on the Nature Channel many times - he wasn't moving, but I do know that position. I turn on the light and gasp as I see Kid emerge from under him. She starts circling my legs and purring, but I am still rather stunned. *Gulp*. "Muggles were you VIOLATING your SISTER????!?!?" Now I know a thing or two. One of those things is that you don't violate your siblings. The other thing is that neutering or spaying your animals is supposed to remove the sex part. Now I know that failed horribly when it came to my mom and dads dog, but I really didn't think *Muggles* of all cats would start violating poor lil innocent Kid.

OK, stop. I have to laugh here, because Kid wears her short black fur like leather, does the sexy kitty walk. When her nails need to be clipped she has a prominent sexy saunter, and you hear the tiny lil "click-click-click" just like kitty high-heels. As I mentioned earlier, she does like to prominently display her teats. Now, can I really blame Muggles, with *that* sexy thing walking around day and night doing her thing?

Regardless, I scooped up Kid and locked her in the bedroom with me for the rest of the night (which she doesn't mind, but Muggles would). I remember and think back at taking Muggles, and then Kid, in to the vet to have operations. I am still rather stunned, and I must say Pete's jaw dropped. Were they doing the naughty? Not 100% certain. But I must say the air was uncomfortable when I came across these two, and Muggles did seem to blush.
