Cat booty




This is Ethel (aka- Effie). She is a slightly posessed stuntwoman and collector of things. She stores her findings (which are mostly things stolen from me) in the kitchen vent. I've been meaning to put a cover on this open vent, but I am so entertained by her pilfering, that I just can't bring myself to do it.

Every month or so, I clean out the vent. Who knows why she chooses what she chooses to make off with and hide in there, but it's an endless source of giggling for me and my friends. What is most fun is thinking about what she plans on doing with these things, because I'm pretty sure she has a purpose for everything. She's just that kind of cat.

So, I thought I'd share with you what I've pulled out from what is now known as 'Effie's Vent'.

She's inventing something down there that will bring world peace. I believe that the barrettes are the secret ingredient missing from all those past efforts at world peace. Go, cute Effie!
