www.inkthinkerblog.com — My cats aren’t really into books.

Isabel, the kitten, has been “helping” me work by chasing the cursor and the pointer on my laptop for the last week or two, and tonight she noticed the television for the first time. (She’s been around since December, but she’s not very bright.)

Speaking of dumb kitties, Zoe, the big one, somehow managed to close herself in the washing machine last night. Fortunately it was empty at the time, but that didn’t make it any less hilarious. I was innocently working away on my laptop (translation: fighting Isabel off the keyboard) when I heard a loud bang and a weird scraping sound. Investigation revealed one very embarrassed — and slightly damp — cat.

I should have read to them more. They say it increases IQ in children when you read to them from birth. Do you think it will have a delayed effect on the cats if I started today? One can hope.
