Mom, I wouldn’t go into the kitchen if I were you if you value your ears. I’m not tattling exactly, but someone’s doing something they’re not supposed to do. Someone else has a problem with that and they’re really loud with their complaint.
Now what? Just tell us who and what’s going on.
I’m not sticking around. You’re going to have to find out for yourself. Just follow your ears, Mom.
Tell her she can’t do that, Mom! She’d being a bad cat and a bad influence on us good cats who would never do such a thing. Everyone knows not to do that and there she is. Don’t let her get away with it, Mom. Tell her she’s a bad cat!
All right, Tessa, what are you doing now?
Mom, tell everyone to get a grip.
TESSA, GET OFF THAT STOVE TOP THIS VERY INSTANT!
The rule from forever ago is that no cat is allowed on the stove top. Ever. Everyone knows this. Tessa knows this and yet, after 12 years of living here and abiding by the rule, here we are. You supposed Tessa just woke up this morning and thought, “Today, I’m going to lay on the stove top.”?

LOVE those two images where Pia really is venting her frustration about Tessa breaking the house rule.
Great story.
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
No human rules apply to cats; it’s a law or something.
That is naughty and dangerous.
Tessa, that place can be sneakily hot! Like in “burny-paws and singey-fur”.
Tessa, that is definitely not a safe place to be!
Nobody gets away with anything with such tattle tails! MOL
Viola is making sure that everyone knows Tessa is breaking rules.
Of course, she woke up and decided that would be the only place she wants to sit on this particular day.
I think it was Mark Twain who said something to the effect a cat that sits on a hot pot lid will never do it again, or on a cold one, either. If poor Tessa ever gets up there while you are cooking and gets close enough to feel how hot the stove is (even without getting on it), she may well never get up there again. Even so, I hope this incident nips her desire to go near it again in the bud.
