Teddy the asshole cat

Had two cats named Abbott and Costello. There was a big bowl with marbles in the bottom by which silk flowers were held, which sat on the dresser across from the end of my bed. If I didn’t get up when Abbott commanded, he would jump up on the dresser and jam his paw into the marbles and shake them around until I acknowledged his mischief. As soon as I set a foot on the floor, he would jump down and head to the kitchen. He absolutely knew those silk flowers were off limits, so he used them to get me to do as he wanted.
