2010.07.04Milo Steals from Grayson

My (Milo's) brother, Grayson, had taken to hiding in a spot where his tail stuck out from under his hiding place. Mom (Linda) really liked him in that spot as it was easy to know where he was AND easy to reach under and get him if she needed to. She wasn't letting Grayson know she knew about this spot. He used it every day for two weeks, at least. After that time had passed, Milo couldn't stand it anymore. On Friday (7/2), he ate his breakfast and then proceeded to position himself in Grayson's new spot to await Grayson's coming. Poor old Gray, when he went there and saw this intrusion, he looked so very very insulted and absolutely incredulous. He made a cry which brought mom to see what was going on. When Linda saw the situation, she reached under to get Milo by the scruff of his neck and carry him out of the room. But, too late, Gray is now disgusted with this sullied spot. He wouldn't go near it for two days. Then, today, mom noticed Gray was back in his place but turned in such a way his tail no longer sticks out. He is on the lookout for intruders this time. Mom is just glad he is trying to use the spot again. He has to feel he can find no safe haven in his own home so mom intends to change that if she can. Mom believes Milo got the message this time as she was kind of stern about letting him know he had done really bad. Mom wants Milo to have fun, just not at Gray's expense.
