I did a good thing!!

This morning I heard a phrase that I don't hear all that often, mol! "Good boy Ratchet!!" I've heard it a few times, but it's kinda rare.

Every morning the humans in my house have this stuff called coffee. The coffees come out of a machine on the counter. (I've jumped up there to check it out before but always get in trouble for doing that.) This morning my Grandmew (Mommy's mom) was making the coffees but things didn't go as they usually do. I was sitting in the kitchen watching the coffee beans getting grounded up and the water being poured into the coffee machine. My grandmew pushed the start button and we both walked away. As I was running into the living room to give Mommy a good morning headbutt, I heard a strange noise. I skidded to a stop and turned towards the kitchen to listen. Mommy saw me doing this, but she didn't think too much of it since I'm always interested in everything. I ran into the kitchen to investigate. The noise was coming from the counter. It was the coffees escaping! Instead of falling into their pot, they were dripping all over the counter because the pot wasn't there! I started meowing and Mommy came to see what I was yelling about. She saw the coffees dripping onto the counter and floor because Grandmew forgot to put the pot under it to catch them! The little coffees where running down the cabinet doors and I tried to lick them up for Mommy but I didn't like them very much. Mommy was so proud of me for letting her know there was something wrong! She was able to catch the rest of the coffees in their pot. I don't think too many of them escaped.

I got some treats but the best part was being called a good boy! I've been told I'm too curious & hard headed for my own good, so I usually hear things like "NO!", "Stop that Ratchet!", or "Bad boy!". Maybe I could get used to being called a good boy. Then again... Being bad is so much fun!
