the 3-D effect

Most of the screens in the upstairs windows have some sort of hole in them this summer.

We've never caught either of the kids really poking at the screens - no pushing fingers through, no bashing at them, no flinging toys. Rosey does some banging on them when she wants someone's attention outside (and is mystified that our neighbor doesn't respond) but it wasn't us, so it must be the kids, right?

I wasn't too bothered. Replacing screens is not terribly difficult or time-consuming, and actually on The Big List Of Projects To Do (the upstairs screens are probably twenty years old) so we had a few talks to the boy (who denied it) and the girl (who hadn't a clue what we were talking about) and forgot the whole thing.

But it appears we have been blaming the wrong people (??) for the destruction.

Yesterday afternoon, I was outside blowing bubbles with C and R and heard a rrrrrrip! noise.

Now where did that come from? And why is the cat miaowing.....

Oh.

Bad, bad kitty.

A kitty muzzle!

The hope is that with new (and stronger) and tighter screens, she won't be able to get her teeth into them this time.

The paws are not the problem.

She's a wicked smart little beastie.

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
