Oh, if ONLY I could have caught this on video, I just know I missed the
$100k Funniest Home Video prize again! Abelard got on top of a large
cardboard box and started, literally, crazy-dancing!! I don't think I can
even begin to described it in writing but here's a shot...

Starting position: Picture a reddish mini-cat with huge ears, its chest
pressed down, front legs outstretched in a Y shape, all ten long thin toes
separated with claws fully extended as if holding on for dear life, butt in
the air, tail standing up.

The Dance: The mini cat starts jumping around with the back legs while
flailing the front legs in all directions grabbing at a hundred invisible
greeblings, thumping out an irregular rhythm on the cardboard....

It was all over before I could even think "where's the flippin' camera?!?"

That sounds like the Tarantella. Sure you don't have any tarantulas
lurking around? :)

Lol don't you hate that? They always do stuff like that when there's no
camera within reach/battery's dead/someone peed on said camera....what a
character he is :)

I can picture his crazy dance! I imagine him as being like a boxer
training for a bout. His sisal boards are like using the heavy bags,
and the cardboard box is like shadow boxing, or using the speed bag.
