<rustlerustlerustle>
Me: Assumpta.....
<rustlerustlerustle>
Me: Assumpta!
(pause)
<rustlerustlerustle>
Me:Don't make me come over there!
(long pause)
<rustlerustlerustle>
(quick pause to judge effect)
<rustlerustlerustle>
Me: Okay, that's it!
(I stand up, cat face appears around corner of couch with very innocent expression. Cat meows appealingly, rubs face on shoe, and sits, staring at me, like "Whaaaaattt?" I sigh, sit back down, go back to what I was doing. A minute passes.)

Answer:
I heard a loud crash in the bathroom, and Squeakers ran out. It's amazing, cats really do get a guilty look on their faces! She had knocked over a plant. Then she hid behind the hamper and watched me clean up the mess.
She also seems to know when she's playing with something she's not supposed to. She gets very possessive of it, and sort of hides it under her body why I come to take it away.

yes, but what's worse is that innocent "what? who, me?" look they give when they do something they know they're not supposed to do.

Answer:
Gudewife, I absolutely love your narration of your Assumpta stories! They always crack me up!
As for Kiera, she is definitely aware when she is doing something wrong, because she'll hesitate, looking at me the whole time. Then the second I look away, off (well... usually UP) she goes.
She DEFINITELY has the guilty face! Sometimes I hear something, come over just to see what she's up to (not necessarily to scold!) and I see her crouched over, or with her paws on whatever she was pawing at, and her face is pinned on me, eyes WIDE open. Definitely ready to scram if i scold her

Hahaha LOL Exactly.
Answer:
Christmas morning I had just opened a bottle of good Merlot and set it on the counter to breath. Waiting for my kids to come for dinner. Went into the bedroom and heard a big crash. Ran back into the kitchen and sitting on the counter was Sassy, looking so proud of herself. The bottle was on the floor and so was the wine. Wasn't as upset about having to clean up the mess as I was about losing the bottle of wine.
Cats are Gods way of reminding us we aren't as important as we think we are
