Astute readers may have noticed that I didn’t say “steps to recovery,” and kudos to you for noticing! My word choice was deliberate, because this post has nothing to do with addiction. Rather, it is about this little game I like to play, which goes something like this: Whenever I see one of my mamas about to descend the stairs, I bolt down them first, aiming right for her ankles, then zigzag back and forth. And then — and this is the best part — I wait for her “recovery”! It’s always especially entertaining if she happens to be carrying a laundry basket!
Yeah, I know, it sounds a little vicious, but that is not my intention. I think all cats like to play this game. We’re just kind of hard-wired that way. I guess maybe this post is about addiction after all!
Oh, and for the astute folks again, yes, there are only 7 steps visible in this photo, but trust me, there are 12 in all. And why wouldn’t you trust a guy like me?

a guy has to have a little fun where and when he can create it. Fortunately, your mamas are young enuf to not get flustered and fall down the stairs. However, you do realize that if they are inebriated or ill, you might want to think twice about amusing yourself by zig-zagging down the stairs with them. The consequences could be rather severe…such as Mama tumbling to the bottom and land on top of you– squishing you to smithereens.
