Kitties grow up.

Hrmph. Phantom and Ghost discovered at some point today that they could successfully jump onto the kitchen counters. I came home to discover kleenex torn up, paper towels shredded, and various havoc; I also proceeded to yell at them the next few times I caught them up there, and drag them down. They may have gotten the idea, then again, they may have just gotten bored. They're about five months old now though, so it's time to look into getting them neutered and spayed, respectively. After that it'll be a bit easier to find a new home for one of them.

Final thought: The TopSort algorithm doesn't make Algorithms any less kinky.

Algorithms...kinky?

You might try squirting them with water and or clapping your hands loudly. Some cats (like mine) take any human vocalizations as encouragement to continue a behavior.

Algorithms as kinky started with a picture in the notes - in what looks suspiciously like Ran's handwriting - that says "Algorithms and Data Structures - what a marriage!" and has them as people, one sitting on the other's shoulder and wearing a spiked collar.

Ghost and Phantom at least seem to understand that if I'm walking in their direction and pointing a finger at them, it means they're somewhere they shouldn't be.
