potty training - day 2...

i hear a thunk in the bathroom and go to investigate... this is what i find. the following conversation ensues between me and gracie:

"what's happenin'?"

...meow

"wanna give it a go?"

meow...

"you tried some time ago, remember?"

meow, meow...

"i hear it's the in thing with cats these days... you know versus using a box - less mess and all. i'm in if you are..."

stares at me...

"well, there is no forcing here... your choice, gracie..."

more staring...

i stare back for a minute, too and then...

"you are the one who jumped up there, ya know" (i'm trying hard not to laugh too much at this point... she does not look amused)

meow - howl...

"okay...it's alright, little one. we can try again another day - another time... i'll leave you alone. i'm sure the flash isn't helping matters."

meow... snarkle... i swear i hear a bit of a sniffle...

i turn to leave...

i hear a thump, thump...

gracie has jumped off the toilet. she glances up at me as she passes by. i don't say anything.

happy day.....
