Held just the phone around the corner because I could hear Jonesy on a Forbidden Shelf™ in the kitchen. He was instantly aware of my “stealthy” surveillance (my stealth capabilities are no match for his hearing). He always jumps and climbs when he wants attention BECAUSE HE’S BEING SYSTEMATICALLY STARVED TO DEATH (it’s been 20 minutes since elevenses and, yes, they had first & second breakfast). #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustJonesy #Caturday #Hobbitses
Basically they’re getting 7 half-meals a day, now, just to keep the peace. Kinda. It’s a work in progress.
But who could stay mad at this face? #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustJonesy #Caturday [edit to add: not that I was mad; it’s just pots and pans on the shelf — he’s already broken most exposed breakables 🤪]

@tantramar

Uh oh. I certainly couldn't 🥹 😍

@tantramar Maybe he misunderstood and thought it was forbidden to humans. That face, quite deservedly, looks like it doesn't compute the words "Forbidden" and "Cat" together.
@penpencilbrush You’ve summed the situation up nicely. 🤦‍♂️🤣
