Van Gogh rarely gets up on the kitchen counters, though it does happen. (She often climbs up on the table.) Lately the counters have been kind of cluttered. Microwave, coffee maker, dish drainer, etc. Yesterday for the first time in months, Van Gogh tried to jump up there but it was so crowded there was no place for her to go, so she grabbed at a towel under the dish drainer and almost pued the whole thing, (with a few dishes) off! Thankfully I was there to grab the drainer before it fell on her. She let out a weird yeowl and ran off.
Van Gogh has only "whorfed" 3 times in all the years I've had her, but 2 of those times were in the last few days. I was worried of course, but then I saw why. Piggy is a little messy, sometimes knocking bits of paper litter out on the floor...and grass. I saw Van Gogh sucking up bits of grass yesterday. I try to keep the grass picked up, as it tends to clog the vacuum cleaner, but you never know when he's going to knock a few blades out. Van Gogh never goes outside but I've heard it's good for them to eat a little grass now and then and even good for them to whorf once in a while, but I don't know if this is a good thing. Anyway, I'll try to keep it clean around that cage. Otherwise, both Piggy and Van Gogh seem fine.
Was looking over your latest game last night. Would love to know your thought processes throughout the game. I was looking over a game I played about 2 weeks ago, (not on Lichess). I was on the verge of winning, then stupidly lost my Queen. I let it sit in the way of a Bishop. So the game ended up a draw. 95 moves to get to a draw! Man that's so frustrating! Especially when I was so close to winning then stupidly threw it away! It ended up with my King against a King and Bishop. Oh well, live and learn. John
