The 'Yucca' saga

Dear oh dear i had forgotten what young cats are like!!!! Dylan and Chester are fast growing up....and fast learning what they can do, and cant. In the process they are rapidly wrecking my house, ha ha. Actually it appears that Dylan, who was such a scaredy cat when he was tiny, is the delinquent one!! he still shoots off if he is freaked out...and it's always at stupid things like Dylan spying Chester sauntering down the hallway towards the kitchen. Such a perfectly normal thing and yet he will perk his ears up, his eyes will go wide and he will suddenly dart off into the sitting room and hide behind the sofa. He will often do the same upon seeing hubby or myself coming down the stairs. To be honest i have no idea if he is showing off or scared but he is jolly fast when he runs! Recently he has been trying to climb on the banister post at the bottom of the stairs. It takes around 3 attempts at jumps and a lot of paint scraped off before he makes it. The look on his face is a hoot as he appears as pleased as punch. Chester, on the other hand, delights in trying to get on the upstairs banister railing. Considering we decorated the hallway 4 months ago i am not sure how well the painted woodwork will fare at this rate? Dylan likes to scratch....and will scratch our sitting room coffee table at random moments. He will start on one leg, hubby will growl Dylannnnn, so he will move to the next leg, and hubby will growl again, and hubby will even try to push Dylan away......and all Dylan does is roll over and look at us as if to say "what? I was doing zilch...it was not mean" He is daft!!
Anyway the newest thing for the boys is to try to get as high as they can. Chester is sensible! He used the top of the cat tower and perches there surveying the world. Dylan uses my yucca plant! Right now it may not survive the week........Trying to get him out of it is a trial. It is amazing how a cat can hide in one of those. Not only that but the leaves are spiky 'ouch'. So if it comes to it am i going to get the cat out of the tree? heck am i, ha ha. Not sure how long my plant will last but we did get some pretty good pictures *sigh*
