Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006Crackle Sack Update
Persia still thinks this is the perfect thing to knead on; I hear "crackle, crackle, crackle" all day long. She charges it; shoves it around; naps on it. She's completely ignoring the small cat tree cradle she used to lounge on. She doesn't want to go out in her kitty walk (okay, so it's been stormy and raining, but still...). I will say she sometimes leaves it to come snuggle with me when I'm on the couch watching a movie, or to lounge on me when I'm reading a book. And she still sleeps with me for a couple of hours. But mostly, she's so enamoured of this crackle sack that she spends more time on the crackle sack than she does watching the birds on the patio, even when the windows are open and there are birds chirping outside. I think this development is disturbing since I'm not getting nearly as much 'Persia time' as I used to. She's not even dreaming about her boyfriend Weeble! She just rolls around on the crackle sack and meows when I walk by, as if to throw me a bone (so to speak) of her attention. The crackle sack is *evil* :) http://community.webshots.com/photo/73563246/2358321750046690505iTllYk http://tinyurl.com/hkb6e Jill >Persia still thinks this is the perfect thing to knead on; I hear "crackle, >crackle, crackle" all day long.

Well, if you were a REALLY GOOD meowmie, you'd put her crackle sack somewhere where she could lounge on it AND watch birdies..... Or is it just me who chose the apartment with the floor-to-ceiling windows just for the cat? My living room has an entire wall of glass (patio doors), so she spends most of her time somewhere in front of that window.. Yes, her little round fuzzy bed is there, too.

I'm on the 2nd floor, so it's not so bad. The vertical blinds are good at keeping prying eyes out but letting the cat see, AND, the windows are at the opposite end of the room from where I usually hang out. However, I also don't wander around naked too often. It scares the cat. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita >>Just you.

It > scares the cat. Actually, when I got Oscar, I lived in a second floor apartment. It *had* blinds ... until she ate all the cords holding them together. The windows were huge, and I took to changing in the very small bathroom. Rather annoying. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca >> LOL!

Rather annoying. Ah. Vertical blinds. No cords. Just bars way up on top that I twist to make the slats turn to open or close. Pull apart to open them entirely when the door is opened so the Princess can smell the OUT. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita > Ah. Vertical blinds. No cords.

When he wanted to look outside and the blinds were drawn, he just walked behind the blinds. Winnie >> Ah. Vertical blinds. No cords.

The horizontal window blinds I leave raised up about 6 inches so she doesn't have to claw her way to get to the window to look out. Persia is, thankfully, not a destructive cat. She can be quite tenacious, but she's not destroyed anything belonging to the apartment yet. She did knock over my corner plant stand and smash some potted plants beyond redemption when she saw a cat on my patio, but that was a long time ago.

I also have a floor-to-ceiling room which is taken over by Rusty. Its the room with the best view of the river nearby. He looked so content having an afternoon nap yesterday in the sun after I mopped and vaccumed his room.

If my perpetually packed suitcase wasn't in front of the sliding glass doors in my bedroom I'd put it there. But alas, I never know when I'm going to have to catch a plane so the suitcase sits there, just waiting for a few items to be changed out depending on the weather. She does have a nice little pillow in front of those doors, too. > Or is it just me who chose the apartment with the floor-to-ceiling > windows just for the cat?

Mommy sais I is SEVEN. I still playce wif da puff balls sumtymes but mostly I sleeps wif momma or in da kloset or onna crackle sak. I likes to sleep. She called sum mens to come get da "frigerator" off da patio today so she can get rid of da PINE NEEDLS from my kitty walk an sweep da patio wif da big BRUM an we can sit out dere an watch da birdies. Dat will be gud! I'll watch da birdies and fink of my preshus Weebles while mommy reads da buk. Kitty Hugs, Persia |
