Our Subborn Baby

So I can't exactly tell how old Raek is in human years. There is a little controversy on the how old and 8 month old cat is in human years. According to my calculations and his attitude I'm going with about 5 years old. And this cat is STUBBORN!!! I know that eventually someday our children will exhibit our traits but our cat?! Come on give me a break! Anyway....
But yes Raek is extremely stubborn. He knows that there are things he is not supposed to do. We have trained him with a squirt bottle every time he would do something we didn't like. Well the little stinker goes and does them when we are not home or in the room. And if we hear him all we have to do is yell "Raek" and you hear a thud of him jumping down or he comes running out of a room. I have never seen a cat behave like such a child.
Well tonight that cat pushed my button. I had a late dinner and put my plate on the counter. No big do it all the time. Especially when the sink is pretty full like tonight. 20 minutes later CRASH!!!! Raek had gotten up on the counter and knocked off the plate, AND IT BROKE!!!!!! I know dishes don't last forever but I was hoping to keep my complete set for another 10 years or so. Considering the trouble we had to go through to get the whole set of un-broken dishes. A whole month of buying a returning sets with broken pieces, and just as it was being discontinued. So what was I to do? What any good "parent" would. Get upset, clean it up, blog about it and get over it.
So that was my excitement for the night, oi!
Sorry if this is a little dis-jointed my brain isn't what it used to be... then again that means I had to have a brain :)
