My niece and her tiny little kitten
My niece with her bottle of milk, walks around the living room and keeps putting her bottle down on the ground. Of course, her mother made sure that the bottle was clean, washed, rinsed and sanitized before giving it to my niece. What my sister forgot about was:
Sprinkles, their new, six week old kitten who was on the prowl for something good. Here she is waiting patiently for that bottle to fall as my daughter sleeps soundly in the pack and play above her.
They aren’t used to having a kitten. Sprinkles is my sister’s first cat since we had one when we lived with our parents which was over 15 years ago.
Sprinkles the kitten didn’t have to wait long for my niece to let the bottle drop to the floor with some much desired milk still in it.
My niece let it drop and Sprinkles came right out from under her hiding place to get a nice treat. You’d think her aunt (me) would be smart enough to pick it up and stop the cat, but I thought it was cute and funny that the cat pounced so quickly on the bottle and I took out my camera phone instead.
Of course my niece retrieved this bottle a few minutes later and decided to finish it up. Sprinkles didn’t eat much. Oops.
