Pen-demonium: My Brush with Blackmail Ink

 


Let me tell you about the most pawsome adventure I had today, which, incidentally, may end with me getting blamed for something the humans did. Again.

So, there I was, lounging on the sunbeam like the majestic feline I am, when this long, thin, feathery thing caught my eye. It was on the human's desk, right next to that weird rectangle that flickers all day (note to self: still haven't figured out how to make that thing catch mice). This feathery thing just seemed to be begging for a good bat. I mean, have you ever seen anything so aerodynamically challenged just sitting there, mocking you?

So, naturally, I snagged one and let me tell you, batting that pen around was glorious! It boinged and rolled in the most satisfying way, leaving a trail of... well, let's just say it wasn't glitter. Big mistake on my part, apparently.

The human returned, looking like a deflated whoopie cushion, and let out a noise that could curdle milk. Turns out, those clicky sticks contain a mysterious black goo that stains everything it touches. Oops. Now my perfectly cleaned paws look like I dipped them in a squid's lunchbox.

My Mom spent the next hour muttering about "expensive pen" and "replacing the carpet." Frankly, I think  she is overreacting. A little black never hurt anyone, right?

Lesson learned: pens are not for playful kitties. But hey, at least I provided some entertainment! Besides, who can resist the allure of the forbidden? Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle that stapler. It looks like it could launch a particularly impressive feather attack.

Yours in feline mischief,

Gryzka the (Slightly Incriminated) Cat Adventurer

 

P.S. Anyone got tips on removing ink stains from fur?
