Hu-Dad always seems to be on the lookout for suspicious behavior, the tell-tale sign that one of us has been up to something fun, er, something we aren’t supposed to do.

Hu-Dad had a meeting in town yesterday, so he was gone from the house for several hours. When he returned, we inspected him closely.

Time to inspect the Hu-Dad.

As Queen Natasha the Evil’s nickname implies, she has always been our leading prankster and grumble bunny. If you rub a cat, you might get a purr, but the sound that escapes from Natasha while being rubbed is much closer to a growl. Just her usual prickly ways.

Hi, Hu-Dad, let me sit and be social for a while.

So when Natasha is being all cute and cuddly, like she was yesterday afternoon, we all classify that as suspicious behavior. Hu-Dad kept asking her what she had been up to.

No comment.
