Even if he is sleeping in your sink, don't spit on the cat!

The other night, the kids were brushing their teeth and I noticed Alexander was standing at his sink brushing as usual, which includes spitting (of course!).  But, he had company...


Meet Dave (yes, our cat is named Dave...that's a different post entirely).  He likes water.  He's not a typical cat.  As the vet said, "those red-haired cats like get into trouble."  He wasn't exaggerating.  In the few months since he joined our family, he has nearly fallen off the second floor walking on the outside of the rails to the open foyer, burned his paws on the hot stove and escaped the house to walk outside in flooding rains.

Even after Alexander spit toothpaste on him, the cat didn't even leave the sink.  "Silly Dave!" is a common refrain in our house.
