Deceptively Adorable

This is my eight month old kitten, Gracie. Isn't she cute? The answer to that should be "no".
Gracie has to be locked in the laundry room on a nightly basis because she chews on toes and removes ear-plugs from ears at 2am.
The other morning I went upstairs, where my mother informed me that during the night Gracie had become bored and pushed my (clean) clothing into her literbox, buried it, and peed.

As we live in a society that covets their pets, I'm guessing that everyone has several funny/embarrassing pet stories that they would like to share. Share away!

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
