Our cat Henry used to hide under the coffee table and ambush your ankle when you walked past. You didn’t have to entice him by playing peek-a-boo. None of our other cats ever did that. Well, Missy stalked Buster… but only when she was really peeved at him.
I bought a nice piano keyboard for Patty, or for Robbie, and neither of them ever use it. We don’t have a piano cat.
Nora here has become rather famous. That’s how hard-up we are for musicians. And she’s much prettier than most of them.
It never fails, does it? You spend $20 for a high-end cat toy–and the little ingrate wants to play with the cardboard box it came in. Or even just a piece of the box. Whatever perplexes the humans will do.
If the cats were bigger, of course, they could just knock the aquarium over and snap up the fish at their leisure. I’ve never experimented with how much oomph it takes to knock over a fish tank. Somewhere there’s a cat who knows.
You can’t find a general rule. Some cats hate water, some love it. I dunno, though–there’s a cat in this video who swims with ducks. That’s taking things a bit far. He could pick up some odd habits that way.
(I’m posting this now instead of later because I don’t know when this machine will conk out again.)
This happy cat reminds me of our boy Buster, the jolliest cat you’d ever have the good luck to meet. Gee, I miss him!
One thing none of our cats or kittens ever did–fight over food. Of course, we never pestered them while they were eating, trying to get ourselves on YouTube. Hint: If you have two kittens, you need two plates of food. It’s just so utopian to expect them to share nicely.
I’m not sold on the wisdom of letting your cat get emotionally involved with washing machines and dryers. You know they’d climb in with the laundry if you gave them half a chance.
None of my cats ever showed the slightest interest in stealing pizza. Really–the one cat in his video wanted pepper? Okay, your turtle will eat anything you’re eating, but that’s just a bad turtle habit. I am at a loss to account for these cats’ behavior.
(How’s that for a belabored headline? There must be something wrong with me.)
I never had model trains for any of our cats. I’m sure Robbie would give them a wide berth. Buster would’ve had a grand time with them. Peep, Missy, Henry–I couldn’t predict what they would do.
