Our kitten is now almost ten weeks old. We've had her about three weeks now. Like a woman who has had a baby forgets the horrors of labor, so go the memories of kittens once they become cats.

Kitties are a special kind of fuzzy cuteness all wrapped up in an adorable bundle, no doubt. If that is your image of a kitten, you've forgotten something important. Under that layer of cuteness, you forget about the razor-sharp claws and teeth! Yes, they have very, very sharp teeth but, trust me, after bringing your new little energetic ball of fluff home, you don't forget for long.

Let's just be frank, they are nuts, completely nuts. A lot of the nuttiness seems to take place during our slumber hours. Not unusual to have kitty tear across the house, across your bed while using your stomach as a springboard to complete yet another lap.

If you ever need to track down your kitty though, easy enough to do. Throw an empty box in the middle of the room. Quick and easy kitty trap.

Papers scattered across the floor, knick knacks knocked off shelves, curtains sporting claw marks way up high? You betcha. But, on the flip side, lots of giggles and entertainment as everybody finds themselves watching all the kitty's crazy antics.

And, thankfully, when they are napping, they look positively angelic and you forget for a brief while the reign of terror they hold over your house.
