Welcome to July, at last. We weren’t sure if we were going to make it but here we are. What’s missing is our annual July photo of someone batting fruit around the counter. Don’t let Viola’s big eyes fool you into thinking she’s innocent of all shenanigans. Not only did she bat the smallest bunch of grapes Mom has ever purchased off the counter and under the fridge (???) but she actually tore open the plastic bag, silently we might add for we heard nary a crinkle, dragged the sorry-looking, near-raisin-stage grapes out of said bag, rolled them around the stove top until, apparently, they gave up the rest of their juice and surrendered to those crafty Niblet paws that then, soccer-ed them under the refrigerator. Had she not been trying to claw them back out, we might have spent the rest of the day believing the grapes had magically disappeared, perhaps having gone to grape heaven or even another dimension where grapes are full and plentiful and geez, don’t cost so dang much!

No, this cat, this adorable Niblet whom many of you remember being born some years ago, this innocent appearing sweetheart, is a grape thief. And we have little doubt she’d do it again in a heartbeat. So, if you suddenly find yourself short a grape or two at your house, feel free to blame Viola. Go on, she won’t care.

  1. Are you kidding?
    Those wide, innocent eyes, belong to a grape thief?
    LOL!

  2. Grapes make for fun toys…so we totally understand why Viola would want to steal them.

    This makes me giggle. Lucy has a thing for items in bags (bread, cookies, etc). and will bite holes in the bag during the night, so that by morning they are stale.

  4. Guilty of Grape theft!!! MOL.

    Silly Viola! I bet those grapes had it coming though. MOL My kitties are known to rip open a bag or two if they think something in it will be fun too. Kitties can only be so innocent for so long. The mischief must come out. 🙂

  7. Brian Frum says:

    Grapes? You starting to make your own wine sweet Viola!

  8. Ellen Pilch says:

    That is a funny story. Couldn’t be her though, she does look innocent.

  9. Oh no Viola, surely your mom is mistaken!

  10. meowmeowmans says:

    Well, grapes need to be kept in line, right, Viola?

  11. Summer says:

    How funny! I’ve never seen a grape here at all. Maybe Viola gets to them before they come here!
