Cat vs. Puzzle, a Photo Log
Dec. 2nd, 2010 09:39 amI mentioned earlier that it has become a holiday tradition to put together a jigsaw puzzle with the Jacksons when they come. This year, it was the awesomely titled, "Michael the Archangel Battles the Dragon While Almost No One Pays Attention."
But, what I neglected to tell you all was how the cats, in point of fact, DID pay attention. In fact, they seemed more keen than usual to sit on the puzzle each and every night. The first night after the Jackson's left, we came home to discover this:

Ms. Ball sitting in the box (which still had loose pieces in it) totally OWNING the puzzle. The next morning, I came downstairs to discover:

Inky spread across the whole thing. We also had to fight them during Thanksgiving dinner when we had to briefly relocate the puzzle to the floor. Pretty much everyone tried it on then. We saved the last puzzle piece for Mason to put in:

And, then, the final cat had to make her claim on the finished puzzle:

The picture is a bit blurry, because Deliah was LITERALLY rolling around on it as if to be all seagull about it, "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
