*groan* Soap is a laxitive. After what I went through last Friday (my bowels still haven't forgiven me) there is no way I'm even slightly tempted to partake of Super Anti-bacterial Dawn (the nice purple one). In fact, you have my ascending colon spasming just thinking about it.

Speaking of Kitten from Hell with opposable thumbs ... I was quite engrossed in important work on my computer for a while last night. OK, I was playing Snood. Anyhow, I was single-mindedly working the mouse, and paying no attention to what was going on behind me in the living room. Then the jingling became too persistent, and I realized something was wrong.

I keep all of Kitten from Hell's extra toys in a big plastic tub with a snap-on lid. She'd figured out the "snap-off" part of "snap-on" and had liberated all of her toys. The dozen furry little fake mice, which were kept in a nice see through plastic bag, had been scattered to the winds. The little stuffed animals were now free-range stuffed animals. The plastic balls with the jingle-bells inside had been rolled underneath every piece of furniture that was high enough to accomodate toys under-foot. The ping-pong balls have yet to be found. I took a picture of her amidst her booty, and here it is:

    Perhaps your dishwashing detergent is forming a gas when closed, and the pressure is forcing the lid open? :) I'll keep my fingers -and- opposable thumbs crossed that KfH isn't doing it. The potential havoc for a cat with thumbs is unthinkable!

    My vote is for facillated diffusion. The soap is moving from an area of higher concentration to lower. The protein carrier is KfH.

    hmmm...as strange as it might seem...I'm betting the professor is using THAT bottle to wash his hands.

    I'm cracking up thinking of a kitten with opposable thumbs..... :)

    i watched a show last night on the science of addiction. Perhaps dish soap not only tastes great, (like chicken) but releases a surge of dopamine in your brain. Now go try the soap. I know you want to. You just might like it.

    None of the possibilities is good.

    a) The prof is nearsighted and can only see as far as the detergent.
    b) The prof has trained himself to wash his hands with detergent instead of soap, and is too old to change his ways.
    3) He's secretly rewashing dishes in a bizarre psychological neurosis.
    d) You're obsessed with detergent bottle caps. :o)~

    Of course, there's always the possibility that he gets something on his hands that he feels detergent will cleanse better than aloe soap...

    When you find out who the soap culprit is let me know, mine does the same thing.

    Try hiding the dish soap. When he asks where it is ask him why he wants it.

    A few little known facts about dish soap, they are the best shampoo for dogs and cats to kill fleas. Also, if put into one of those sprayers that attach to your hose, and sprayed on your lawn/garden, it kills all kinds of bugs and spiders.

    You know, you should write stories with pics about KfH to some American pet magazine :). You're such a good writer and KfH is such a... uhm, cat.

    LMFAO @ your alter egos trying drive you mad. That would be way freaky. *Tries to think what Dad could do with the dish washing soap except wash dishes* Maybe he likes to blow bubbles?
    *Grins*

    Have a nice day!

    Dear Salamander,

    What's that you said to me in Lilith's diary?
    "Somebody should tell RC Cola that brevity is the *soul* of whit."

    "Whit", huh?

    Mark Twain had wit. You, however, have not even a whit of wit.

    Have you considered taking one of the balls with bells in it (I see one in the plethera of toys in the pic) and hanging it from somewhere for KfH to play with? Might help to avoid a little bit of a mess!

    Quite correct, RC. How very literate of you. This, of course, proves you are no fool. It also provides evidence indicating you are rude from intention rather than from a high cranial bone mass to grey matter ratio.
