What Kittens are Good For

Ashton: I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like that kitten in my face or in my favorite spot on the sofa. But she’s good for one thing…

    MOL! That’s Boodie’s job in our house – which is why she has to leave the kitchen when she’s done eating.

    Nice of you Ashton, to wait until the kitten is done eating. Some of would just move right in to that food. Have a good day.

    Ashton! That’s what Izzy does, and you don’t want to get his reputation. (It’s why Caroline and Elliott dine on the counter and our mom keeps watch on Ivan so Izzy doesn’t get his share.)

    We need you around our house, Ashton! We have lots of nibblers here, and they leave lots of crumbs, anywhere and everywhere. Are your cleanup skills for hire?
