Trail of destruction: a work in progress

Unattributed:
1 large porcelain cow
a stack of CDs
just one tile, which nonetheless renders an entire kitchen floor worthless (Rosa writes: you're lying. You did that.)

Rosa:
a lovely pink bow
a double sheet (Rosa writes: collateral damage - I was trying to get at what was under it)
the sleeve of a sheepskin jacket
many cat toys (average lifespan two hours)
the left ear of a pink pig toy
one Moleskine notebook

Mits:
nothing but newspapers, honest

A collaborative piece:
7 out of a set of 8 Georgian dining chairs (Mits explains: we felt that leaving one chair untouched added to the power of the work. We reserve the right to review that decision at any point in the future)

Duff feline product of the week


The claim:
Want to have a reeeeaaaally, reeeeaaaally good time with your cat?... mixes the wacky scent of catnip with the interactive fun of bubbles. Pure, frantic fun.

The reality:
The bubbles either pop immediately or fall leadenly to the carpet, leaving a nasty green stain. The cats are staring at me, as if to say, what piece of idiocy is she up to now? And what's the wet, soapy stuff? Eww.

Mits writes: I like jumping and catching things. I do quite a lot of catnip (please understand that I don't have a *problem* with catnip. I can come off it any time I want. Really I can. Ooh, is that my tail?). I had high hopes for this product. But frankly, it's boring, the catnip has been cut so much it's completely useless and I don't like being dripped on. Unless you can provide decent grass or a proper toy, just leave me alone or I'll drop more books on your head.
