Okay, this is a tough one! My friend Fin from Housecat Confidential is celebrating Scafflaw Week, which is a celebration of rule breaking across the land. Of course, she asked her friends to participate. So today, T.G.I.F. means Try Grabbing It First. You’ll see what I mean in a few minutes.
So why was this a tough one you ask? Well, I’m such a good cat I hardly ever break any rules. OK, if you’re done laughing…I’m serious! We have thousands of pictures of all of us and we had to go through each one of them looking for evidence of some sort of rule breaking. Nothing, zero, zip, zilch, nada! So we went through them again, slowly. We finally came up with one, which is really not what it seems.
T.G.I.F. = Try Grabbing It First
I know, I know, it looks like I’m scratching the furniture, but I was really just having a good stretch. Oh, that hole in the chair above where I’m scratching? It was there already. OK, are you laughing again? Really it was, this chair is very old and was scratched up by a cat or cats that came before me. Seriously! Well, I may have added my own little touches, but not that many. So there, out of thousands of pictures we found one, and only one. What kind of rule is “Don’t Scratch the Furniture” anyways? Thanks for the fun Fin, we all appreciate it!!!
So what’s up this weekend? I don’t have a clue if we are doing anything exciting or not, so we’ll just hang around as see what happens. Y’all have a really great weekend…and obey all the rules!
Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
I break some rules but I'm not stupid enough to let the human capture them in that flashy box!!!
Ha!

Isn't it amazing that when we're doing something 'naughty' the humans grab the camera rather than scold us?
He was just stretching and his claws got caught –not Brian's fault!
Yea, uh huh…we believes you…really!
I'm ALWAYS getting busted.
Puddles
We believe you. You look very innocent to uSSSSS!
Brian… I can't believe you're even touching that chair. Of course you're not scratching it.
Yay for breaking the rules. I have an idea of a picture to put up of me breaking the rules. Now I'll have to see if I can find it.
Happy TGIF
There was never any doubt in our mind what a good kitty you are! 🙂

We believe you, Brian! You do seem to be good kitties, really.
Actually, our mom didn't participate because she, too, would have had to look through thousands upon thousands of photos. Oh sure, Nicki is naughty, but she never has her camera handy–she's too busy yelling at him or running for the squirt water bottle. MOL!
I hear you Brian, I get told off for scratching the couch but it was Puss, the cat before me that started it!!
Brian, we certainly do believe you. You would never scratch that chair would you??
Hope you have a super cool week end.
We totally believe that hole was there before you! Our two couches have a B~I~G hole in them (from Scooter-RIP), but now Cricket thinks that you're supposed to scratch them! She keeps getting yelled at. Dad says she's walking a thin line…he's so full of crap! MOL~!!!
Nice Stretch! We know you would NEVER scratch the furniture.

You look the picture of innocence Brian.
You look the picture of innocence Brian.
We knew you were a good kitty, Brian! And we think the rule about scratching the furniture is that once it's started, any cat is allowed to finish it.
I scratch on the furniture. My dad says I will never be better than 82% good if I don't stop.
The thing is never get caught breakign the rules – so that's why there is no evidence! Happy Friday guys!
Of course you are just stretching and not scratching–what was the human thinking?
You're perfect, I"m pefect…we're perfectly good at not getting caught doing imperfect things!! We should form a club…The Perfect Boys Club…no girls allowed cause girls aren't perfect (they are just quick..like Tiny…she does bad things all the time, but she's really quick so she never gets caught. But Mom knows because Tiny forgets to wipe her paw prints off the TABLE!! Shame!!) and we good, sweet, smart, sexy boys are irreproachable! Yeah. That's right. Purrs, Lautrec
Of COURSE you're just stretching, Brian! We totally believe you!
We hope you and your sisters have a great weekend. 🙂
Well I thinks you broke the rule don't make your girlfriend look bad. (Sigh) I break so many rules Mommy has given up making me behave. ~Scylla
PS: I guess having a purrfect mancat for a boyfriend could come in handy. Mommy can't object to me spending time with such a good cat.
Brian…a)are you and your sisters really cats…or b)just really CLEVER cats? We think the answer is "B"!
We are going to have a rain nap. Sorta like a rain dance, only napping instead.
Awww beautiful Brian!! You were erm.. stitched up! LOL!!! The scratches were already there and you just added your special touch! Me and Charlie know you are a very good law abiding kitty! 🙂
We are also waving to your equally lovely and law abiding sisters Zoe, Gracie, Sascha and Dolly!
Take care
x
I'll be scratching the furniture this weekend and having a fabulous time!
Give over Brian you are totally busted 🙂 Don't worry we still love you!
Yeah, we have one of those, "it was already scratched up" chairs too…
I believe you Brian! As long as we have been following you, we have never seen you misbehave. You're the one who sets the good example for all your sisters!
You look pretty busted Brian=photographic evidence is tough to get out of, sweetie!!…Happy Friday…kisses…Calle, Halle, Sukki
I thought the rule was, "If it feels good, scratch it!" So you still haven't broken any rules.
Awwww Brian, I am sure you did not make that big hole in the chair. Those ones that came before were so destructive and sooo naughty!
I can see that you are just showing daddy the big hole in the chair
Happy bonkful bonkbonk week-end!
Brian
I guess we all break or bend the rules just a little here and there. It's not a bad thing — just a bit naughty. Think how boring it'd be if we didnt do a little something "bad" now and then!

We believe you Brian (wink, wink).
But doesnt yer innocence kinna leave you out of the running?
Us again. We just learned that while we were visitin YOUR blog, You were visitin ours. The exact same MINUTE!
MOL!
What kind of "crime" is it really when you get your photo taken instead of being sent to time out? It's like "ok, punish me with a treat!"
Yeah, okay Brian, we believe you….we think.
We've broken that rule a few times too, Brian!! Just a few!! 😉
Brian – You are such a good role model for your sisters!
~Casper and Angel~
Of COURE you don't claw the sofas. And OF COURSE that hole was there before. We believe you.
Brian, can you come live here and I'll send Moo over to your house? You seem so well-behaved… 🙂
We broke the dog walking rules at our house today… we did two two mile walks instead of one. 🙂 Macy was not at all upset with her crazy humans….
Have I mentioned how much we always love to see how you work in a TGIF. Great work this week!!
You're just barely naughty!
You are a very good cat!!! Love the picture of you!
Have a great weekend!
We agree .. it is not US!
It is the er…er… "dog next door"?
or the "invisible cats"????
I haven't shown anything but it's not due to the fact that I am a good cat and don't break rules. It's because my SS is snowed under with work after the glorious time in Kauai. I don't even get visiting time :sigh;
You are such a good kitty. I never break any rules either (ha ha…okay that totally made me laugh).
have a good weekend. 🙂
Brian, that is such a great picture of you!! Who ever heard of not breaking rules anyway! Lots of love, Holly and mom
