I blame desperance.

We previously had a pair of Abyssinians, one male, one female.

They were beautiful, affectionate, and intelligent. They were also well behaved.

We now have another pair.

They are also beautiful, affectionate, and intelligent.

However, ever since desperance visited, they seem to have started trying to steal food from the kitchen surfaces, something the previous two did not. And yesterday, Sake added Assaulting a Police Officer to her charge sheet. Honestly, we've been trying to teach her that licking the top of someone's head is not something to be done.
