Grizzly got her evening "crazies" (or zoomies, if you prefer, but that
hardly does it justice) right on schedule tonight and even seemed to
step it up a bit over her usual antics. she seemed to be going out of
her way to leap over stuff in her racing around--all 3 other cats, the
boxes and bags I leave lying about for other kitty games and
hideaways, and what have you.
part of the obstacle course tonight was my shop-vac, still sitting out
from earlier use. failing to achieve quite enough lift, she
apparently clipped the switch with a hind foot. did I mention that
the vac was plugged in? oh, did I laugh.
I'm surprised (though of course grateful) that I didn't have four
puddles to clean up after that.

LOL!!! Eeek, it's ALIVE!!!!
Seeing how my regular home vacuum causes both my cats to run and hide,
I'm sure a shop vac roaring to sudden life must have caused a lot of
consternation in the ranks. =o)

mine is a pretty small one and not much louder than my push-vac. I
think they were more surprised by the fact that it came on at all
(especially Grizzly, having touched it to wake it up) than frightened by
the noise. <g> usually they have warning as I drag it out of the closet
and such. but at the end of it all, yes, consternation did indeed
abound. <g>

Whenever I drag out my purple Dyson, Rita jumps on the couch to watch.
She's fascinated by it. I've never seen a cat who wasn't terrified by
the sucky monster! She's just amazing.

Kayla has started letting me use the dustbuster on her. Damn that d$g
sheds! I use a lint roller on her whenever I think of it too.

If you had a video of that it would be worth money. :-)

I think it wouldn't have captured much more than a blur--and I mean
before the sucky monster woke up, let alone after. <g>

LOL. Cats are such fun to laugh at. Er, with, I mean with ... no, I
mean at.
