Cat badgers
I used to do a Sunday job in a garden centre, where two kittens would regularly come in to enjoy stroking and affection from the bored staff, and cooing from the elderly customers.

We gave free coffee to customers, which was served in polystyrene cups, so there was normally one or two of these lying around on the counter.

When there was half an inch or so of cold coffee in the bottom, one of the kittens would often wander up and stick its head in to take a sip, only to find the polystyrene cup stuck to its head.

Trying not to laugh as a kitten walked cup-first into a plant pot that had just been placed on the counter by a horrified granny was difficult to say the least.

I always wanted to paint one of the cups black and white to make the kitten look like a crazy badger, but never got around to it.

Now I'm all grown up and have two little kittens of my own, it's perhaps time to buy some polystyrene cups and try it.
