Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006Case of Rosie
Rosie loves to hang around when Jim practices his guitar. This morning, Jim was sitting on the couch concentrating on his playing, The case was open next to him. A couple of minutes later, I noticed that the case was closed. The top began to jiggle up and down. Pretty soon, out popped Rosie, who then perched on the arm of the couch and gave herself the "I meant to do that" wash. Annie > Rosie loves to hang around when Jim practices his guitar.

My two do that wash when they are outside down at the poultry huts and see a very large rat which they have no intention of tackling. Having said that, Boyfriend caught a rat today and put it on the doormat for my delectation at lunchtime. Body size was about 6 inches. It's the biggest one he's ever been brave enough to catch! YAY, Boyfie, the brave mancat! (the bigger rats get, the more they initially bite the cat that catches them) Tweed ...Boyfriend caught a rat today and put it on the doormat for > my delectation at lunchtime.

(Thanks for doing the math for the measurement.) We had some neighbors who had a cat who caught a rat and brought it into the house through the cat door. He let the rat loose and it promptly climbed the drapes up to the rod. I guess they had quite a time rounding it up., Good luck with your surgery., Annie > ...Boyfriend caught a rat today and put it on the doormat for >> my delectation at lunchtime.

No math required, I still work in imperial measurements! Unlike my 29 y o sister in law who would not be able to visualise how big something was if it measured a foot or whether it was hot or not at 80F. > We had some neighbors who had a cat who caught a rat and brought it > into the house through the cat door.

Boyfie's hunting skills have improved over the last year or so, so at least anything he brings home - for me or Kitty - is dead. We did have two episodes of live collared doves a couple of years ago, though, when he was learning.. he was able to catch them and rush home with them but he hadn't a clue at the time that he should have killed them first. I tried to nurse the first one back to health, as it seemed uninjured, but no good, it died in a couple of days. That doesn't happen now, fortunately. As he has matured (he must be 4 years old now) he has become more proficient. I would prefer it if he didn't catch birds and just confined himself to mice and rats, but that isn't realistic. If he is going to be a hunter he will catch both birds and rodents. > Good luck with your surgery., Thanks. I don't know when it will be.

I always have lots of help when packing. I suspect that they want to be sure I take some fur along in case I get homesick. But, I've never seen one actually have the case close on her. No telling how long she was in there before deciding to climb out. Annie >I've never known a cat that could resist an open guitar case :D Betty was one that avoided getting into anything that looked like it could be closed. She would never get into a suitcase, bag, cardboard box, or even a laundry basket. She would have made one untrappable feral! >> I've never known a cat that could resist an open guitar case :D > > Betty was one that avoided getting into anything that looked like it > could be closed.

It's not too difficult to entice an almost starving cat into a catch-alive trap with a dish of crushed sardines in it. Tweed > Rosie loves to hang around when Jim practices his guitar.

Aww! And LOL!  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
