Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Chasing Paws
Ok, I know kittens chase their tails. Some cats even continue this practice beyond kittenhood. But Vino is deprived because he doesn't have a tail. But yesterday, at the ripe old age of 6 1/2, he figured out an alternative. We have this wooden railing behind the couch where Vino likes to perch. He lies on it with his chest and lets his legs dangle off on both sides. Like this: http://tinyurl.com/5az8t or this: http://tinyurl.com/6pty9 So I was on the couch watching TV and Vino was doing his perching thing behind my head, when all of a sudden I noticed all this scrambling around. I looked over and there was Vino, chasing his own paw through the slots in the railing! I laughed so hard but Vino wasn't dissuaded. He was gonna get that paw at any cost! Yeah, he's cute. Smart? I have my doubts... -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

I have my doubts... Yeah, but when you're *that* cute, it almost doesn't matter. ;) He might not be so dumb-- he might have just made up a little game for himself.

Clearly he is showing you that you need to provide more stimulating toys or else he is reduced to twiddling his thumbs....errr.. paws. > >> Ok, I know kittens chase their tails.

Unfortunately, the toys Vino enjoys playing with most is men. Yeah. Men. He loves to play chase and be chased and wrestle with their hands, etc. I try but he just looks at me like: "What the heck are you trying to do? You're for cuddling and food dispensal only. Now get me a guy!" When Dennis is here everything's fine but when Dennis is working, Vino gets bored despite my best efforts. Last weekend a friend of mine came over who's a guy. Vino immediately came up to him in Hallowe'en cat mode and enticed him into a long chasing, wrasslin' game. He was so happy! <sigh> I just can't compete! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

What if you gave him a big dose of 'Spidey Hand'? -bonbon > Ok, I know kittens chase their tails. Some cats even continue this > practice beyond kittenhood.

Isn't it wonderful how kitties always seem to be able to find new ways to amuse themselves. And us. Elisabet Wilson has a tail, but he often sits on the corner of my table and chases his Paws round the legs dont ask me why, I thought he was just batty till I read your post on Vino. It is funny to watch them though Jean.P. > Ok, I know kittens chase their tails. Some cats even continue this > practice beyond kittenhood.
