My friend Lois warned me that Bonnie and Clyde are "in your face cats".

They are "in everything"! Not for them a cozy kitty cube on the floor in the kitchen at night. They have to be up high - what better place than inside the bread bin, accidentally left open, high up on the servery. They did look cute, lovingly wrapped around the loaves - they probably even ate a crust or two.

This morning's misdemeanours included getting paws caught in the vertical blinds, ripping pages out of the dictionary, climbing up the inside of the fly screens so that they became trapped between closed window and screen, tipping over a blue bowl (it didn't break), leaping in the air and sliding down a large fern frond hanging from a hook on the ceiling, trying to eat my breakfast, - to name just a few of their pranks.
