Angelo’s New Trick

for the past few days, we’ve been feeding Angelo in the bathroom, which has worked well.  he’s been eating his food without fussing.  whether this is because he’s now isolated at mealtimes or because he’s decided to end his hunger strike, we aren’t sure, but if it works, what the heck?

the thing is, the bathroom used to be Angelo’s "time out" room.  (he was the only one who ever needed time outs.)  so far this doesn’t seem to affect his appetite; but as in the past, when we let him out, we find that the trash can is on its side and Q-Tips are scattered on the floor.

of course he gives us sufficient warning of his impending tantrum–it’s hard to ignore his wails to be set free.  we just plug our ears because until the others finish eating, Angelo is not allowed to roam.  no no no.

when we open the bathroom door, Angelo is almost always perched on top of the toilet bowl.  so when i found him that way last night, i didn’t think anything of it.  but when i bent down to pick up his bowl, i saw shreds of toilet paper all over the floor.  the roll had been thoroughly gouged.  so it seems that Angelo is now having parties using toilet paper confetti at dinner time!  crazy cat.
