What do you get when . . .

What do you get when you combine lack of sleep, toothpicks, a camera, and a spitfire kitten? Pictures like these!



You see, my brother Patrick and I spent a few hours trying to figure out why my computer is freaking out lately. As you can see, most of the time Pat has a toothpick in his mouth.



At first the kitten, Smokey just kind of batted at the toothpick . . .



Then Pat tuckered the poor thing out, so it had to get a drink . . .



Then we decided to taunt Smokey and get him to play with it . . .



Once he got it out of the clip he played with it for a few minutes . . .



And this is what we were both waiting for! To get Smokey to have the toothpick in his mouth as well. You know how some pets seem to resemble their owners? Perhaps in this case Smokey just picked up the habit!
