Recent Adventure:
Recently, Sweep was walking across the kitchen counter when he mistakenly trod on the stove-top hob, which was still hot. Sweep gave a yelp and hopped down, but not before making a rather loud racket in the kitchen. He then came limping a bit into the front room where he was examined for injury. In the week following, Sweep ended up with a ouchy blister on his little kitty paw which has made walking a bit uncomfortable. A full recovery is expected and hopefully, Sweepy has learned to be a bit more cautious.

The bedroom at our In-Laws has a nice wooden cover of the radiator, I'm scared that when we get our own house and there is no cover that they are going to get hurt when they jump up on them.. they are not used to them. Do you have any problems with that?
