Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2007Marley, the Stealth Cat
My coworker Bill and his wife, Shell, are owned by two tuxedo cats and a young brown tabby, Marley. Marley likes to "surf" in the bedroom curtains. He will repeat the maneuver several times per surfing session! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEerL1Ohl4Y It's Marley, the Stealth-Cat!! Shell explains: I have to act like I don't see her when I walk by so she can pounce on me. The curtains (and I) are victims of "The Dreaded Curtain Attacker"! http://www.flickr.com/photos/11588164@N00/1760786862/ > My coworker Bill and his wife, Shell, are owned by two tuxedo cats and > a young brown tabby, Marley.

Does anyone remember from the Three Stooges (I never actually watched any, my parents wouldn't let me, but I do remember the bit)? Moe, I think it was, is upset probably with Curley, and as he's turning, he says, "Slowly, I turn, inch by inch, step by step..."? It's all I remember really, Marley, Stooges, he walks in hyperslow motion, not stalking per se, as he doesn't really pause, just really slowly shifts his weight (all 14 pounds of him) paw to paw (and you don't want to be the rib cage he moves onto), until he's right under your chin, then collapses so he can have skritches. He won't look at you, no eye contact whatsoever. He will pause when you say, I can see you Stoogin', then he doesn't move for 5 to 10 seconds, then keeps going to the chin. He even has the concentration frown that cats get. I just love him when he does that, it's too cute.

That's an old vaudeville bit, that turned up in the Stooges, I Love Lucy and Abbott and Costello. The scenario is usually in some kind of enclosed space with someone (usually this is given an elaborate explanation) who becomes murderous at the words "Niagara Falls." "Slooooooowly I turned!" It always cracks me up. ;) > It's all I remember really, Marley, Stooges, he walks in hyperslow > motion, not stalking per se, as he doesn't really pause, just really [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Smokie Darling (Annie) > >> My coworker Bill and his wife, Shell, are owned by two tuxedo cats and > >> a young brown tabby, Marley.

"Slooooooowly I turned!" > It always cracks me up. ;) I'd forgotten about the "code word". Marley doesn't need one with us though. He just needs you to look the other way momentarily. I wish we could catch it on video (but he knows when the 'vid' is on, the ham (he likes to give the "up the nostril" shots on video), I'd post it. He really does think he's getting away with something. > > It's all I remember really, Marley, Stooges, he walks in hyperslow > > motion, not stalking per se, as he doesn't really pause, just really [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > > Smokie Darling (Annie)- >Niagara Falls!!!! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >becomes murderous at the words "Niagara Falls."

A very popular vaudeville act and yes the Stooges did a version of it.

I just don't think they are funny (but the Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, heck Monty Python). I hate that they are always picking on the one guy (Curley, isn't it?). I'm stupid, I admit it here, but it makes me cry when people pick on someone (like poor Vince D'Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket).

He's either going to be a ghost or a sheik. :) If I didn't know it was a cat, I wouldn't be sure *what* it was. :) Joyce > > On Oct 26, 12:22 pm, Marina <frankienni...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Joyce Ditto what you said, Joyce! If I walked in and saw that and didn't know it was a cat I'd be running out of the house (probably screaming)! LOL Sort of reminds me of the daughter in the film 'The Others' with Nicole Kidman where the girl is wearing her communion veil and looking very creepy. Jill |
