WILFOAK #112

What I've learned from owning a kitten, #112:

It is entirely possible for a creature without thumbs to break three glasses in three seperate incidents, yet all in the same day.

Relatedly, it is highly likely that said creature has an unexpectedly thorough mastery of Rube Goldberg's principles of cause and effect, which might explain how it's possible to be five feet away from a full water glass, and still be able to send it flying off of a very high surface, tumbling end over end at a rather impressive rate of speed, soaking no less than nine surfaces, some of which are above you, and two of which include exposed wires. Shame is not a necessary component of this ability.

Is it too late to trade the critter in for a turtle?

Ick! No way! Turtles have salmonella!

Poor kitty. Perhaps you will have to take my friend's approach -- no breakable glasses (although in their case, it's because of her husband, not a pet.)
