Amy, Okay, I'm really curious. How in the world did you're cat disable the water pistols? Is he by any chance a Siamese? My favorite cat that I had while I was growing up was a Siamese, and although he was a regular feline genius who opened drawers and generally plotted evil as an Agent of Entropy he never managed to short-circuit the spray bottle that we used on him whenever he tested his boundaries by leisurely parading his gorgeous self across the kitchen table.
