This morning before work, I took the trash out. I pulled out the trash bag from the kitchen trash can and left the empty can in the kitchen to remember to put a new bag in after work. I left the house, got in my car and realized I had left my iPod. I went back inside the dark kitchen and heard the clatter of the trash can rocking on the ground and saw a quick flash of black and white fur running around the island. Then I heard the clank, clank of a cat sliding into a ceramic water dish and food dish, and then a second clank of a second cat sliding into the water and food dishes while rounding the corner and then the scratch, scratch, scratch of cat claws on tile trying to get traction as I watched Brody spin his wheels right into the cabinet still trying to get traction like that old Disney cartoon of Pluto on ice...
I had apparently startled their exploratory trip of the empty trash can...I was laughing so hard! And they just had this look on their faces that said, "Bitch, you scared us!"
