Da Twins Bean Wicked
“Our secret as Wicked Twins is that we look like Innocent
Twins (photos don't lie - MOL). Part of our 'innocence' is running
to the door when we hear Meowmie's car engine. This makes
her think we've been furry lonely and makes it more likely
that we'll get freshly poached salmon fur dinner.
An impurrtant morning duty is checking the newspaper fur
Meowmie. There are so many things in the paper that upset,
worry, or anger humans that we believe all kitties should
shred newspapers to help our dear purrents live less stressful
lives.
Here you see Taliesin looking for additional ways to help
Meowmie paint. He has already climbed the ladder and pushed
off a tray filled with paint that might have fallen off and
hurt someone.
Taliesin likes to dip his paws in paint and then walk on
uncovered floor so that Meowmie is reminded to cover
everything with dropcloths. Another helpful thing to do is dip
one's tail in the paint and then walk around and swish, swish,
swish so that Meowmie can see how well the paint color
looks on tables, appliances, etc. Try it; your human will thank
you with screams of joy and delight.
Dwnn has chair duty on sunny afternoons. Furniture has air
under it, and warm air rises. We lie where the sun shines
to provide much needed weight so that chairs, couches, and
beds do not levitate and damage the ceiling.
Dwnn is not idle while holding down the chair. He has
ripped the fabric on the lamp shade to remind Meowmie that she
needs a more attractive one. From this position he can
easily step onto the bookcase and push books that need dusting
onto the floor; it's a task he often purrforms.
We regret that Meowmie has put an ugly green slipcover on
the chair which hides the shredded upholstery. Because this
is Meowmie's favorite reading chair, and the one where we
take naps on her lap, we gave it our special attention.
Caturally, she wishes to preserve our work (she adores us so),
but we wish you could see the shambles we made of it in
order to create a super-comfy spot fur Meowmie.
Sometimes we work together on a project. Once when Dwnn had
a special purrject in mind, Tally kept a lookout for
Meowmie so the creative endeavor wouldn't be interrupted.
Fortunately, Dwnn had plenty of time.
Meowmie is so fond of this basket because it's hand-made of
maple strips and dyed with walnut and black locust. Dwnn
decided to enhance it a bit, so he jumped into it and nibbled
all around the rim leaving a decorative band of tooth
marks. Meowmie was so pleased that she moved the basket
straightaway. Alas, he can no longer reach it to add his final
touches by biting the handles.
