To further emphasize the destructive and preternaturally vindictive tendency of our young kitten, Pickles, I submit the following…
Exhibit A: Basic Pet Water Dispenser-- From a pet’s perspective, this rudimentary dispenser has handily procured a seemingly endless water supply. Water from the reservoir container periodically refills the drinking bowl as the fill level recedes. Typically, the dispenser “blurps” and “gulps” as this miraculous transfer occurs. Make note of these sounds, as they will be a recurring theme in this entry.
Exhibit B: Eliza -- Here we have Eliza, an 80lb mass of nervous energy contained in the form of a Shepherd/Greyhound mixed breed. Upon initial inspection, one would easily deduce this dog’s intimidation factor, largely represented by her impressive height and muscular form. However, deep inside the dark recesses of her tiny little brain lurks a tremulous coward of epic proportions. The aforementioned “blurps” and “gulps” render this beast into a quivering, pathetic heap that avoids the dispenser as if it’s bowl was abounding with an agitated pool of piranha.
Exhibit C: Pickles-- On the surface, this feline looks like another in a long line of lovable, harmless creatures whose only purpose in life is to bring ceaseless joy to the world they inhabit. Nothing could be further from the truth. This little monster is far more sinister and devious than that. And cunning, too. Ridiculously cunning. Enough to have determined the operational complexities of the water dispenser.
Perched atop the reservoir jug, she affixes her front paws to the edges and begins to sway from side to side until the jug “blurps” and “gulps” it’s contents into the bowl. What’s so devious about this? Well, it’s all in the timing. You see, she does this every time Eliza musters enough courage to drink from the dispenser.
Foregone Conclusion: This kitten is evil incarnate.
