Butterscotch was one naughty kitten. At about six or seven months, he and his brother, Gingersnap, liked to raid the bin. His owner always kept the bin, a hefty 3 foot high device, securely shut so that his cats wouldn’t push it over and rummage through the bin. But these were determined cats, especially Butterscotch, who was the leader. One day my friend came home to find Butterscotch near the bin, which now had a hole the size of a human fist in it. To this day, my friend isn’t sure how Butterscotch managed to punch a hole in the bin. When he showed me the bin, I was amazed as it was made out of strong plastic, not the sort of bin where a cat could easily inflict much damage. My theory is that when Butterscotch knocked the bin over, the bin must have hit something sharp and the force of the blow was enough to knock a hole in the bin.


My friend went and bought a Butterscotch-proof bin. He has had no problems since and his cats are now one year old and have outgrown their mischievous kitten phase.

When they were kittens, Butterscotch and Gingersnap would wake up in the middle of the night and play. By ‘play’, that meant running around the kitchen and crashing over as many things they could think of. Down went the bin, the computer, the mouthguard. After twenty minutes of play, they would take a short nap only to have another crash and bang session. Lord knows how my friend managed to sleep; he is the sort of person who can sleep through anything but I’m an insomniac and I would have gone nuts from the constant disturbances to my sleep.
