The kitties are now able to climb on everything in the house and their latest favourite place is on the side of the washbasin. They watched John shaving with feverish fascination. Bonnie tried to climb closer to the whiskers by leaping on the towel rail under the mirror but crashed to the floor as the towel slipped off. Clyde managed to cover his face with shaving soap and looked as if he had his own set of white whiskers.

They both tried to catch the water as it went down the plug-hole and noted all face washing and teeth cleaning rituals. Bonnie also noted that humans had to bend over the washbasin and cleverly reasoned that meant she could race up the human body and sit on the back to watch!

This morning I found the toothpaste knocked over and licked clean around the nozzle. The toothbrushes had both gone from their rack on the wall.

On the floor of the lounge the kitties were having a toothbrush party. Each had a toothbrush and each was gnawing on the bristles. Bet they had the cleanest teeth in town.
