Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006My heart's still pounding - Tessie pulls a bastard cat trick.
I just came upstairs from putting the laundry on to wash, and Tessie was lying on the back of the couch doing her patented dead-cat impersonation. At first I thought 'oh, how cute, dead-cat trick', then I walked into the kitchen (which usually brings her running) and she didn't move. So I called her name and she didn't even twitch! Not even when I called her again and clapped my hands! And she was right next to the blind and the christmas lights with her head halfway through the blind... I was over there before you could say 'Oh God, please no!' I put my hand on her tummy to see if she was still breathing, and she lifted her head and looked at me and said 'what's the fuss all about?' Thank goodness she was just sound asleep... I might TALK about her being a holy terror, but I couldn't bear for anything bad to happen to her. I guess she just wanted to remind me how much I love her... > I just came upstairs from putting the laundry on to wash, and Tessie > was lying on the back of the couch doing her patented dead-cat [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > being a holy terror, but I couldn't bear for anything bad to happen to > her. I guess she just wanted to remind me how much I love her... Nah, she was SEEPIN and you foolish hoomin bovered her. Sheesh.

He has a habbit of sticking his tounge out, and when he is in these position, he looks "too" zonked. My heart always skips a beat when I see him.

My heart always skips a beat when I see him. I'm used to her sleeping on her back all twisted up like a pretzel - that I can get used to. But the little brat didn't respond to me when I called her name! Usually you just have to say Tessie and she opens her eyes and mreeps at you, and if you go into the kitchen she's there in a flash. > I just came upstairs from putting the laundry on to wash, and Tessie > was lying on the back of the couch doing her patented dead-cat [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > the blind...

I guess she just wanted to remind me how much I love her... I think that must be a trick that all cats learn from the mothership. Figaro the cat I grew up with was an expert, you could pick her up and she still wouldn't move.

I guess she just wanted to remind me how much I love her... Yes, that is most definitely a bastard cat trick. Now as for your nerves... Jo ... > I put my hand on her tummy to see if she was still breathing, and she > lifted her head and looked at me and said 'what's the fuss all about?' >.... I guess she just wanted to remind me how much I love her... Hi Karen, That would get my heart beating, too. I'm glad it was just a trick and nothing was wrong. Annie > I put my hand on her tummy to see if she was still breathing, and she > lifted her head and looked at me and said 'what's the fuss all about?' That was a typical b*st*rd cat trick. Shmogg, the original B*st*rd Cat, has pulled that one on Yowie several times, I believe. Purrs for your nerves to settle down. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

IIRC Yowie played b*st*rd hoomin tricks on Shmogg by moving him to another room without waking him. :-) SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk Silly Mommy woke me up ;-) >I just came upstairs from putting the laundry on to wash, and Tessie > was lying on the back of the couch doing her patented dead-cat [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > being a holy terror, but I couldn't bear for anything bad to happen to > her.
