Average Jane’s Huge Kitteh

Remember when Xena was this big?

These days she’s filling up a lot more sink:

She’s turned into a good-sized cat, except that she still has a relatively tiny head. You can’t tell from the photo, but 80% of her is gut. Our girl loves a good meal or ten.

Even though she doesn’t look like a kitten anymore, she still acts like one. The night before last, I was awakened by the sound of shattering glass. She’d jumped onto the kitchen counter and knocked a wine glass to the slate floor. It was the second glass in the set that she’d broken in as many days. Thanks for cutting back mama’s alcohol consumption, Xena!

Her latest undesirable behavior has been darting through the kitchen door to the studio every time someone tries to go up. The squirt gun has proved to be remarkably effective in curtailing that action.

Still, my husband spoils her rotten and she rewards him by jumping into his arms almost every time she sees him. Silly cat.
