Not a great start to the day!

This morning I had arranged to call on a friend first thing, but when I got there she wasn’t yet back from taking her children to school. Her husband invited me in and made me a coffee, then he told me that he was still only half awake – he had accidentally poured bran flakes into his cup of coffee instead of a cereal bowl! He tipped those out and started again, with fresh coffee and a clean bowl, and managed to get things right this time – but no sooner had he turned his back to say something to his wife who had now arrived home, than the cat leapt up onto the kitchen counter and started eating the milky bran flakes! Third time lucky – he poured himself some cereal and quickly took it to another room All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2024.

That's a great photo of that cat. It might win a 'longest cat' competition.

Thanks for reminding me why I take some time before going to the kitchen to have breakfast. And I don't even deal with flakes and cats. Cute kitty!

Did the kitty enjoy his cereal? Actually I keep a mug of cold water by my bedside and my cat Freddie leaps on my bedside table to drink my cold water but I drink it as well

@Fleura The 3rd time for the husband sounds better than the first two times and it sounds like he may be wide awake now.
